    @alexsioson - maraming agents dyan at meron din based dito sa au..

    - if you dont have time to read
    - you have approx 3000-5000aud for the agent fee (that is on top of the visa processing fee of atleast 3500aud for single applicant)..
    - kung mdyo may complications ang case nyo...
    then you can get an agent to assist you..

    pero laking tipid kung magbabasa basa lang dito..
    especially for engineers.. ikaw din nmn mag prepare ng CDR for assessment mo..
    sila lang magsusubmit.. ;)

    sa current agent ko, staggered payment. Partial payment for one step, then pag natapos at na-approve, bago sila singil ulit for next phase of the application. This way, staggered payment ko, plus, may incentive sila na ma approve ako haha. Ang gusto ko pa, I send them the scanned color copies of my docs, then sila na nagnonotarize. For this phase only ha (ACT SS nomination). Not sure if this will still be the case afterward.

    20140113 - Submitted ACT SS nomination

    20140317 - Finally got my ACT sponsorship!
    20140319 - Invited to apply (visa 190)
    20140325 - Lodged visa 190
    20140718 - Direct visa grant. IED: July 17, 2015
    20150203 - Landed in ACT :) Job hunt begins
