Hi Guys,
Been out of this forum for a while. My husband and I decided to avail the service of a migration agent. It is much cheaper compared to the agent in Pinas. It is a total difference of Php 200k. Since we have a complicated case, the agent has really helped us a lot to process the accurate document though I must say, mejo complicated lagi yung pinapagawa nila to the point that my husband's employer was reluctant to issue him a detailed COE. We actually considered doing the statutory declaration but was advised that due to his former colleague's supervision of him for less than 2 years, it would not be considered.
When they gave us the checklist, they indicated that a certified thru copy Birth Certificate was required which really delayed our submission of documents. Eventually, they said that it can be delayed and not needed for ACS assessment.
Nevertheless, we are happy with their work, because if not for them, it would take us a lot of time to do research for the COE template, checklist and the like.
We passed our documents for ACS assessment last July 27 and we just received the good result from ACS today. The process took less than 2 weeks. I'm not pretty sure if it would be the same result if we did it on our own.
