Just did a check at MARA.gov.au
https://portal.mara.gov.au/search-the-register-of-migration-agents/register-of-migration-agent-details/?ContactID=9e89029f-a052-e311-9402-005056ab0eca
Seems like they just recently registered, although they were operating since 2003 "as they mentioned on their website" without any affiliation to MARA during that time? I don't know.

By the way just an FYI... Upon a few research MNAL is operated by a person named Carmine Mercorella. Googling a bit will give you these

https://www.findlaw.com.au/news/4178/court-makes-final-orders-in-asic-proceedings-again.aspx
Just something to consider or to clear up with them.

Hi. I asked the agent in question sa articles.. It isn't him daw π
@Admin , wanna know more about the "alarming news" you mentioned π

Re: their registration in 2021, itβs a renewal I think. They posted it on their FB page. The first 2 digit on an agentβs MARN means the year they are registered to be an agent. In their case they are registered since 2003. I am also thinking availing their services. Seems legit to me.

@Admin I've read the articles that you've provided, the 2nd article hits Carmine Mercorella's name because it contains the name of Carmine Misale and Guesseppe Antonio Mercorella. I don't know about the first article but their age are a bit close since the DOB of the person from the article is July 14, 1975.

Hello @kitsocampo, how was your application with MNAL? Just signed a contract with them nung 2022 pero Jan 2023 pa ko nakapag take ng PTE. Have you received your PR visa grant na? What subclass?
Thanks.
