@kenkoy
Anu po Migration Agents Registration Number ni Ms. Chona? Search ko kasi siya sa MARA site, hindi lumalabas name niya. Thanks.

yo schoolmate @Bryann... nabuhay ka hehehe...

kenkoy

@Bryann, ah wait, text ko lang sya.

kenkoy

@Bryann, acc to her: "I am registered in the NSW Bar & can practice Migration Law with or without MARA registration."

if u're indeed needing her services, since u are sydney-based too, why don't u give her a call to consult w/ her. anyway, free consultation naman eh.

Bryann

Ah NSW Bar, uy @kenkoy no offense sa iyo and your friend ha. Pero kasi based sa MARA site, anyone can give immigration advice and services. Pero they need to be MARA registered to charge fees sa client if related sa immigration un service. Pero kung free at willing tumulong syempre maganda yan.

my thoughts din... hiya lang ako kay kenkoy hehhee...

may nasusulat kasi sa MARA website na kelangan registered sa kanila...
not unless meron din nasusulat na member ng NSW bar then I stand corrected

@gemini23 since you're working abroad, you should have some funds saved already. For all intents and purposes, baka mas makakatulong na sa inyo ang migration agent. I mean, if you really want to go to Australia that badly, I think the "more expensive" option is worth the try

I doubt na may mabigay na ibang advice ang mga agent...
lahat dadaan sa IELTS... the main stumbling block of migrating..

last option is totoyoz hehehe joke lang po

gemini23

@icebreaker1928 i agree with u about IELTS...anyway hindi pa naman ako ngre-retake. Puro thoughts pa lang ang shine-share ko dito.

Well yun nga, kung transparent yung migration agent, hahanapan ka ng visa class na hindi magiging deal breaker ang IELTS...for all we know, they can broker a direct hire from an employer (that's a possibility).

Pero kung IELTS talaga ang magiging basehan and things are not favorable...it would be prudent to rest a while and pray Baka hindi niyo pa oras pumunta dun at may tamang oras na nakalaan si Lord para sa pangarap niyo

@Bryann, ah ok. i stand corrected. she is not a registered migration agent. she is a migration lawyer w/c is far different from an RMA. not all RMAs are lawyers but all lawyers can be migration lawyers.

incidentally, kung may kilala ka palang taga migrante, an NGO which helps the migrants, obviously, u may ask about her. no need for further proof of credibility neither an explanation. sayang oras. heheheh!

btw, hihintayin daw nya tawag mo.

Bryann

Hehe no worries po @kenkoy. Yun Tita ko meron din tumulong sa kanya na migration lawyer sa Phils siya nun nag-apply. Close friend kaya minsan bigyan lang food, wala talaga fee na kasing laki nun mga immigration agents talaga.

Hello! Tatanong ko lang po kasi parang nawawalan na ako ng pag asa mag apply pero halos nasa 200K na po kasi ung nagagastos namin sa agent sayang din if I give up. I started my application for PR last Sept of 2016. Naghihintay po ako ngayon ng invitation for NSW since natapos ung vetassess last April. Ganito po ba talaga ung waiting period? Ang suggestion po ng agent namin ay magIELTS ulit kahit na ung unang academic test result ko po ay S and R-8.0 L-9.0 W-7.5. So nagtake po ulit ako ng IELTS general training kaso naging R and L-9.0 S-7.5 W-7.0. Pinaulit ako, nag PTE ako ayun mas mababa. Ngayon po magtrytry po ako ulit magexam, nanghihinayang po ako sa gastos pero un lang po ung suggestion ngayon ng agent namin. Sa tingin nyo po ba exam lang ng exam o hintay na lang? I’m applying po for Music Teacher(Private Tuition)... please help...

@miyaka21 Sad to say, medyo madalang mag-invite ang NSW pag wala sa priority list nila ang occupation. More than 1 year na ako naghihintay. Wala rin akong nababalitaan na naiinvite ng NSW sa occupation ko since nag-submit ako ng EOI. Why don't you try applying in other states. Pwede ka sa SA under special conditions. Kailangan mo ng 80 points para mag-apply, kasama na state sponsorship points dun.

miyaka21

@maguero yan din po ang suggestion sa akin ng agent. I will take the IELTS again. Ipapatanong ko lang din po ug change sa points since I’m turning 33 next month. If it will affect the points
