in Migration Agent
Hi po, my husband and I are planning to migrate to australia but we need a lot of help in doing our Cand also we need an agent na hindi balasubas (sorry for the term) we also don't have the luxury of time na mag ayos ng mga documents as we're both busy working. May marerecommend po ba kayo yung hindi kami tatagain or lolokohin? Thank you in advance

    Hi! Please refer to this link https://www.mara.gov.au/using-an-agent/working-with-your-agent/agent-fees/

    This gives you an idea of how much you may pay an agent to assist you with your visa. In this way you know if you are being ripped off. Knowledge is power.

    Unfortunately, there are a lot out there who use our profession entirely for money making purposes. However, there are still those who are still in touch with their moral values so be very careful in choosing your agent.

    If you are fees conscious which I can imagine you would be, maybe I could help? Feel free to visit my website www.visaconsort.com

    @King Tim, hi there! Na-sort out mo na question mo? I'm a migration agent based in London and maybe I could shed light to it kaso I just need more info about work/education, age, etc. it's not easy to give a straight answer without knowing other facts. Email me if you want [email protected] or complete the pre-assessment form sa website ko www.visaconsort.com andun lahat yung info I would need to know to gauge your chances/options tapos just indicate sa message box you're from pinoyau forum para maalala ko
