@nfronda Yes, we are indeed 🙂 That's why I accepted his offer to work for him, so I can help with other Filipinos who aspire to live and work in this beautiful country. I personally believe that the rigorous study they have undergone to get their license to practice migration law is a major advantage in any visa application, something that we cannot hope to learn in the period of time it takes to process an application. In all honesty there is no guarantee that your application will get granted if you engage the help of migration agent, but then again, so will it be if you handle it alone. The edge of having a migration agent is the assurance that you have someone helping you who knows what they're doing. They understand the ins and outs of Australian immigration rules and requirements, and the reason why those are such. Some people might be concerned with the professional fees, and let me tell you I know where you're coming from. But at the end of the day, money is of no value when it is not spent accordingly, just a colored piece of paper that mediates trade. I suggest that you initially check for migration agents through recommendations of friends and workmates, then take the time to talk to each of them so you'll have an idea of the workload division and the agent's PF as well. Australia is a country of wonder, although I must say that my heart will always belong to the Philippines. But if there is an opportunity to be where the grass is greener, why let it pass? 🙂
