Migration agent

batman

Anyone have tried Respall services. Any reviews please and range of fee?

Admin

mahal ang fee nila. last year they quoted a member here 5K AUD for PMV (subclass 300). baka nag increase na ngayon.

@batman Tama si @Admin, I inquired their service last May and they quoted me around Php200k. Mas mahal pa sa Visa fee namin ng wife ko which is around 190k lang. hehe

thank you guys sa input.

@batman
newbie here in pinoyau. spoke to Respall many years ago. Yes they are expensive yet arrogant. When I was having issues with my student visa, I phoned him for help. Andami nya sinabi na hindi maganda sa pandinig ko. Parang nag assume sya agad and walked away na parang ayaw nya hawakan yung case ko. Which was fine with me. At the end of the conversation he said, text me your address and I will send you some brochure so you can give to your friends. OMG.

Yes, it is Respall himself and No i didn't text him my address.

ouch, yan ang hirap sa mga ganyang Migration Agent. A friend told me who work for a migration agent, na usually kaya mataas ang success rate nila is sa initial assessment palang na-eevaluate na nila kung makakapasa or hindi ang applicant. so tatanggapin nila yung big chance na maka pasa. then nire-reject yung mga panget or low chance. But still you don't deserve to be treated badly kung isa ka sa low chance or no chance.

blahblah

@therealaids, yes totoo. Hindi pa kase nya alam yung buong story nagjump into conclusion na sya. Hindi naman ganun kacomplex yung issue ko. I ended up doing it myself which was one of the best decisions I made.
Karamihan sa agent umaayaw agad kase ayaw nila ng too much work.

Infact ang mahal nila maningil. based sa thread provided ni @se29m that was 2012 pa ganun na sila ka-mahal what more now.

I agree.. Nagpunta na ako dyan before ang mali ko hindi ko inaayos ang CV ko nun nung nagpunta me sa knila (RESPALL).. kung ano ano na sinabi sa kin kesyo mag RRPL daw ako sa ACS yun pala hindi lol.. I have an ex officemate na hinire sila but yes dekalibre sya may posisyon sa office namin so tama ka sa sinabi mo.. Pero madaming mas magaling kay RESPALL in my opinion like Wesley Russell sa kabilang forum at Mark Northam..

onga khit lately I have the same experience. sa e mail they ask to share with friends yung first 4 chapter ng book nya.

What I did is avail there consultation and assessment. Kunwari interested ako sa service nila. Dahil hindi ko pa alam process nun, pumunta ako sa office nila sa Makati for the assessment. Dun nila inexplain ung mga requirements and process. Yun nga lang nagbayad ako ng 1K for that. hehe. pero not bad na rin atleast nagkaron ako ng idea on how to start my visa application. At naging confident ako nung nalaman ko na 60points minimum ko without applying for state nomination. But hanggang dun na lang si Respall sa process ko. hehe. sobrang expensive kasi talga. Pandagdag na din sa baon ung fee nila e.

@batman, c Respall po ang agent namin ngaun nasa first stage pa lng kmi for EA assessment so far maayos naman pong makipag-usap ung naka assign samin na Sr. Documentation Specialist nila, since nasa mid-east kmi ngaun nag communicate kmi via skype at anytime na pede akong magtanong ay sasagot naman agad. Regarding sa Service fee nila I don't know kong mas mataas ba cla kc hindi rin kmi nakapag inquire saibang agent but ung fee nila na 150k pesos is staggard naman (3 payments cya), at kontento naman kmi as of now dun sa services nila at hopeful din kmi na hanggang matapos ay maayos padin pakikitungo nila.

Nung kami sumali kami sa seminar nila kaya natuwa kami na mag try sa AU. Ako sana ang main applicant since sa Mapuan ako. Nung nalaman nila na hindi Engineer ang title ko sa latest job ko, tinabi nila yung papers ko sabay si hubby ang tinanong. Ang ganda ng sinabi nila sa initial assessment samantalang hindi nila sinabi na may deduction pala sa work experience pag nagpa assess sa ACS. Muntik na kaming mag avail ng service nila to think na wala naman palang pag asa yung sa hubby ko.

Ngayon using other agent, ako ang na assess na main applicant. Nakapag lodge na kmi ng visa namin and the ticking time begins.

Nung una palang sana sa pag assess nila, tinignan muna nila ang credentials ko kung pasok talaga. Sa tingin ko ang gusto nila yung mga sure na makakapasok samantalang pwd naman ang DIY dun. Ayaw nila ng mahirap na trabaho kahit super mahal ng fee nila. Nsa 140k ang service fee nila last feb 2014.

Their fees might be too high but i think you get your money's worth naman. Specially if by stages naman un payment. Jayvee who runs the office in makati is quite nice and responsive sa lahat ng questions namen.
Maybe hindi lang talaga maplease everyone, at the end of the day business pa din naman yun respall, profit oriented, may limited resources to manage and maximize.
I've been to one of their ielts review sessions, madaming nag aattend na months/years na yata nagrereview dun kase di makuha un score na kelangan. Imagine they have to conduct those review sessions everyweekend basta meron mag attend. Matyaga naman sila and pro active, sila pa magfollow up pag di mo iniintindi un application mo.

Based on my experience they are very helpful and responsive to all my inquiries. They gave me sample documents like CDR to serve as a guide. Although mahal ang fees pero come to think na may review pa sila ng IELTS and medyo matagal rin ang pagprocess I think it's good for the buck kung kaya naman i avail ang service nila. Pero kung nalaman ko agad na may site na ganito possible na hindi ako nag agent. Kudos to Melanie who helped me until we got our visa. Actually kahit tapos na yung service nila gusto pa nya ipasend yung CV ko para mareview and give advise kung okay na ba. Again it's up to the applicant kung gusto nila mag agent.

The best decision I made is not to engage the services of an agent.
Unless nalang if you really have a budget for that, has a complex case and don't have time or too much patience in researching on the procedures. I saved so much money and pambaon ko nalang siya once granted na ang visa.

Ang naging sandigan ko ay si google, PinoyAU forum and friends, official websites (PTE, VETASSESS, STATES, DIBP, etc)..

Meron pala ganito thread. Respall is my agency since 2009. Our account is handled by Ms. Lori, medyo na delay application dahil sa IELTS. Then in 2014 we seriously apply and satisfy the requirements for Aus migration. Ang gusto ko sa Respall eh if they can see na malabo ka makapasa sa requirements they will inform you directly. Yes totoo din may review sila every sunday for IELTS and they will tell you if ready ka na or hindi sa exam. My wife attended months of ielts review and ayun nakapasa sya. They provided us RPL sample docs and answer our query fast. The best part is nung time na may na ecncounter ako issue sa application namin and all the advises I got from the seniors here in pinoyau and expatforum sabi nila na ganito ganyan gawin ko, but not Respall they told me this and that. So I decided to follow my agent's advice since matagal na sila sa industry and they have a lot of successful clients na grant ng visa. And ayun visa grant if I did not follow Respall's advise malamang wala pa kami visa now and malamang forever nako OFW. Thank you Respall kahit medyo pricey still a very satisfied client here.

@grant512 I may agree to you as I am also engaged into RESPALL's services. Currently, we're now into VISA fee payment stage. They had been so supportive to us from IELTS, EA assessment, PTE exam booking up to DIBP invite to our VISA 189. God bless us all!

@jedh_g

wow congrats malapit na din kayo. Hope to see you in fb page of Respall doing fist bump with Mr. Respall

@grant512 wow nakaka-excite!

I am also engaged in Respall services, and I am satisfied with their services.

batman

ano basis ng fee nila? certain percentage of the visa fee or something?

xiaolico

Guys I am a product of this agency. They are worth it. More or less, they charge the same amount as your visa fee. I highly recommend them

Hi xiaolico, may tips ka ba sa speaking? nahihirapan talaga ako dun. May practices ka ba na ginawa?

kwonshinhee

I availed of their services. Road to 189 pa lang, nominated System Analyst occupation and we just lodged with ACS 'yung for Skills Assessment. After this visa lodge na. Ms. Lorie is my agent. Hopefully smooth ang maging process. They're efficient naman so far though. May medyo arrogant lang na agent doon (who filled in for my agent who was out of office when I turned up) whom I really dislike. :P

radberry

I recently had myself assessed and namamahalan ako sa fee nila (170k). I am torn if I should lodge my application on my own or I should avail of their services. How difficult is it to lodge your own application vs. using an agency?

batman

@radberry, your on what stage of application process ka na.

alexsioson

Hello Guys, I'm an OFW from UAE. I took the services of a MARA agent already based in Australia. Her price is only between 30-40% as compared to other known agencies. So far I am fully satisfied with her services. I recommend her especially if you have some issues or complications with your application. We are now at the last stage of our 189 visa application. Send me PM for her contacts if you wanna try her FREE Assessment...

radberry

@batman magpapaassess pa lang sa ACS based on sa sinabi sa kin ni Respall but they are confident I can easily score at least 65 points based on my credentials under visa 190.
