Hello,

Newbie here. Just my two cents. We're currently using Respall as our immigration agent. We are a family of four. They first assessed our family's chances of being granted a visa. Their professional fees are a little steep, $3000 in total. We shopped around for other immigration agencies, but were leery because of all the scams out there. The other two agencies we went to were not as professional as Respall. At one point we were being interviewed by a secretary because his boss stepped out, and he was providing uncertain, uninformed and even flat-out wrong answers to our questions. We hot-footed it outta there, checked Respall's MARA registration, and signed with them the next day.

They gave us a list of documents for the ACS skills assessment (Systems Analyst). They also provided us with formats of detailed employment description letters that my husband's supervisors signed. This is in lieu of the detailed COE that his company understandably refuses to provide because it breaks confidentiality. I'm sure it was more than the ACS website asks for, but my husband received a favorable assessment in just 15 days. They're professional fee for the Skills Assessment alone is a staggering $1500, but it came with peace of mind and noticeably less stress for us if we had done it ourselves.

I suggest that if you already have a Favorable Skills Assessment (or plan to do it yourselves), you can skip this and just get their services for lodging your EOI thru DIAC, until you get your visa granted. Save yourselves the $1500. In our case, we were extremely busy with the kids and hubby's overseas assignment, so getting an immigration agent was our best bet.

We are not in Pinas, but they keep in constant touch with us and are generous with information. They go at the pace you want, again, in our case, we asked them to stop because of a death in the family and other overseas assignments. Today, they just lodged our online application for SS in SA. They tell us it's 8 weeks processing thru SA, and then another 3-5 months processing thru DIAC until a visa is granted.

Whew! Sorry for the long post, but I hope it at least helped someone. If you have any questions, just ask. I'm generous with information, as you can see. 🙂 At marunong pala ako mag Tagalog, so feel free to ask. 🙂

God bless and good luck to everyone!

Hi @LadyVa, a week ago we talked to one of the agent of Respall for initial assessment and then for more detailed assessment we need to pay P1,000. Anyways, sabi nya mga around AU$ 3,000 nga ang prof fee nila, but you mentioned na you pay AU$1500 iba pa ba yun sa prof fee nila? My husband is preparing for IELTS and then if the result is good, we are ready for the Skills assessment. Ang respall ba ang naghanap sa inyo ng sponsorship or nag EOI din kayo?salamat

Reply to @jhiela23:

Yes, I think we did pay around P500-P1000 for their detailed assessment, you get a lot of info then without committing to a contract. Ask as much as you can! 🙂

The $3000 professional fee is split into three payments, the first $750 we paid when we signed the contract. This covers their professional fee in guiding you through the skills assessment process. They lodge the application for you, and handle any queries. This does not cover whatever fee the assessing authority will charge you. A percentage of the initial $750 is refundable if you do not get a favorable response to the skills assessment. However, if you get a favorable response, you are required to pay the next $750.

You can then choose to continue with the lodging of the EOI thru DIAC. You will need to pay them another $1500 for their PF before they can lodge. Iba pa to sa application fee ng DIAC. So total professional fee nila is $3000. Sila na mag nonotarize ng mga documents and mag CTC kung kinakailangan kasi registered notary si Respall. Medyo mabigat nga, ang samin lang, kailangan lang na may mag asikaso at may peace of mind kami.

Dapat dun kami sa skilled independent. Ang case namin kulang yung points ng asawa ko sa IELTS, isang part dun 6.5 lang sya, e tinatamad na sya mag IELTS ulit. Naka 2 takes na sya dito sa Germany, di sya nakaka review tapos lagi sya busy at out of town. Respall asked us if we wanted to go by the state sponsorship route, SA ang available. So we did the research and we gave them the go signal. Hintay na lang, di naman kami nagmamadali.

Kung gusto nyo, kayo mag asikaso nung skills assessment nyo. Yung IELTS madali lang kung sa Pinas kayo mag take, mas mura pa. Tanungin mo sila kung pwede dun sa lodgement ng EOI na lang kayo tulungan para $1500 lang bayaran nyo PF.

Hope this helps! 🙂

Hello po... Kamusta kabayan? DLSU-D din Alma mater ko (Batch 2002). Dito ako ngayon nakabased sa Abu Dhabi. Dahil din sa tight ang sched ko sa work talagang need ko help ng agent. Dalawa pinagpipilian ko kabayan yung sa NASC na dito nakabased sa Abu Dhabi at yung Respall. Actually medyo mababa yung Professional fee na NASC pero parang mas matimbang sakin ang Respall. Sa Case nyo po ba with Respall pinapa-courier nyo pa sa kanila yung documents nyo [like Orig certificates & other docs.] or most po scanned copy lang? Naiisip ko po kasi kung pipiliin ko ang Respall di po ba inconvinient ang pagsend & receive ng docs form here to Philippines or vice versa? Si Ms. Joy din po ba yung naghahandle sa inyo? Salamat po

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream: Kabayan, I wouldn't recommend NASC - Canada talaga ang forte nila. And I believe they're not registered Migration Agents (MARA). I know somebody na skills assessment pa lang unsuccessful na.

Hi@LAdyVA, salamat sa reply mo at least mas nakakapag-isip kami ng husto about respall,mas maganda ang way of payment nya rather than global visa halos parehas din ang pf nila. Ang hubby ko panay na ang review for IELTS and then after that we will think thoroughly kung respall or do-it-yourself for skills assessment.Nag EOI din ba kayo or respall na ang nag-asikaso ng EOI nyo? salamat ulit.

Looking forward na ma grant visa nyo agad!

Reply to @langgam37: Noted. Salamat kabayan. Siguro nga magrespall nalang tlaga ako

Reply to @Nico_AU_Dream: tingin ka mo na po sa ibang mga migration agents threads dito sa Pinoyau. Madami ka pang choices other than Respall. And mas mura yung agent fees nila.

hello guys! respall is also my migration agent. Ok nmn sila, mas mahal nga lang professional fee nila but very flexible sila sa payment terms. They also conduct IELTS review every sunday and sila naghahanap ng state sponsorship that will fit your situation. You will just provide them the necessary documents, sila na din nagpapanotarize and you may ask any question about your application. Very honest din sila about your chances on your visa application and they will find and suggest other options for you.

hi Nico_AU_Dream , pde mo isend sa respall yung scan copy ng initial docs mo, kse yung skin binigay ko sa kanila yung original copies ng docs ko then they just scan it and binalik din sakin yung mga docs. Piniprint nila yung scan copy then sila na nagpapanotarize nun.

May mga migration agents din n d ng hihingi ng addtional fee kng sila mg lodge ng skills assessment,pati nga registration as nurse ung isang migration agent n alam ko ay sya mismo ng lodge ng application od kya i double check ung docs before lodging..

jack

Good day sa lahat ng sumasali dito.

This is my firs may join dito. Mas maganda ba na gumamit ng agent kaysa personal ka mag logged ng application?

lock_code2004

@jack we cannot answer your question by just either a yes or no... the real answer is.. it depends on your situation..

if you have the time to check/understand the requirements
whether your case is simple/straighforward/not complicated
and most importantly, whether you have the money to pay the agent ...
