Hi Guys ask lang, nakuha ko na yung ACS ko thru agent, but pwede ko ba stop yung service nila then mag DIY na lang ako, may impact ba yun da applications. I am waiting for my ielts remark then start to lodge my EOI, naisip ko na ako na lang magtuloy because it looks like na wala naman sila masyadong naitutulong.
cholleSydney Posts: 403Member Joined: Nov 21, 2013
@artagnan Yes, you can terminate the agent anytime and DIY the rest of the process, marami namang resources online like this forum. Kung hindi ka pa nag-file ng visa application then better, at least wala pang form na kelangan i-fill-up for DIBP. I suggest i-terminate mo na sila, but check the terms of your agreement with regards to payment, kasi baka may nakalagay na kelangan mong bayaran or whatever if you terminate them. In our case, staggered yung payments so I didn't have to pay them for work that they haven't done. There is no effect on your application.
I actually wish I had done it earlier! Sayang yung binayad ko eh hehe

Marami pala ang may bad experience sa group ni James Hall dito. Sana nagbasabasa ako dito before engagement with ANZ (new name). Pero kinoconfirm ko po ito based on experience ko sa kanila:
1. Yung una po nyang quote sa akin at initial engagement ay outdated based on latest CSOL. Di pa ako marunong nun masyado kaya nalaman ko na lang nung natuto na ako about ANSZCO search etc. Dahil dito, nag process pa ako ng IELTS remark na hindi naman pala kailangan sa current state na inaaplayan ko (++ money and time, though yung money pala nabalik ng IELTS kasi tumaas yung score ko).
2. Parati po sya sa vacation at delayed nga po mga responses sometimes pero sa case ko naman ay acceptable pa naman yung delays na nangyari (so far, knock on wood).
3. Very detailed po ako magtanong at most of the time, di nasasagot lahat ng mga tanong ko. I guess nga po, overloaded ang office nila. Tawag ako ng tawag, pero email lang natatanggap ko 80% of the time.
4. Overall I think, di po sila ganun ka updated about changes on DIBP, ANSZCO and the latest news on AU Immigration. Ako pa po yung naginform sa kanila sa nagbukas na yung isang state dun sa ANSZCO ko.
Wala po akong experience sa ibang mga agencies, pero kung meron nagrerecommend na mas maganda, wag na lang po kayo kay James Hall based on my experiences above.
Kitakits po sa Oz.

1. Pano po yung process ng termination? 2. Nagbigay po ba kayo ng reasons etc? 3. Pano nya (James Hall) naendrose sa inyo yung lahat ng mga documents nyo na sila lang meron access (EOI, VETASSESS, etc)? 4. May binayaran po ba kayo or may nakuha kayo dun sa initial payment nyo?
Babasahin ko din yung contract pala na pinirmahan ko last year, pero will appreciate kung makasagot po kayo. Salamat ng marami.

@rareking Hi. I just wrote them an email terminating them. Depending on which stage of the application you're in, you may need to fill out some forms for Australia. In my case, nasa VETASSESS pa lang kami so SRG-07 lang ni-fillup ko to inform them na I'm terminating my agent. Wala na kaming nakuhang refund. May iba na naka-refund daw, but it took forever.
My email was very straightforward. You can PM me so I can send you yung content ng email ko if you want.
Looking back, tama nga, dapat nagbasa-basa muna ako rito! And everything you said about them, common experience ng karamihan ng clients nila. Ansakit lang cos naka-2 payments na ako nun sa kanila (sayang ang 1.7k!). Hayyy charge to experience na lang.

@cholle salamat sa info. Actually nasa lodge stage na ako at di rin ako ganun kadetermined to pull out from ANZ, dahil nga medyo almost end of process na ako. Just want to learn as much as I can para mashre ko din sa iba mga experiences ko para makapgbless pa ng iba pang mga Oz migrants hopefuls.
Yung current tanong ko lang e - yung computer accounts / password na meron sila sa Vetassess at EOI, kung ano process nun.
1. Gagawa ba sila new account to endorse it all to you.. 2. Meron ba dito sa pinoyau na nagkaroon ng problema or experience sa endorsement of documents / accounts after ng termination with agent?
Salamat ng marami po!
Kitakits!

@rareking in my case, after ko mag-email sa VETASSESS ng SRG07, tinawagan ko sila a few days after kase hindi sila nagreply sa email ko. Mabait naman yung kausap ko. I gave my details and he confirmed that I've terminated my agent, then he sent me an email with my new account. Wala nang access si ex agent sa account mo. All documents uploaded were still there, the application will continue as is (you won't be starting from scratch). I imagine the case would be similar kung nasa SkillSelect or ImmiAccount na yung application mo.

That's good to know. Palagay ko nga magaling itong ANZ dati, dumami lang ng husto ang clients kaya di na namaintain yung quality of service nila. Minsan nga naiisip kong bogus yung agency kasi sa lahat ng tawag ko, 2 of 10 lang yung chance na makausap ko sila at hindi pa yung James LOL!!!
Anyway, sana magimprove sila at baka kokonti lang ng mga hopefuls ang nakakabasa dito.

Suggestion po --- You need to elaborate more in your ad. Your experiences, background, why you have a the technical advantage, studies made, profession -- just to give more confidence to people na pwede ngang matulungan mo.

May physical office ba sila? Parang paiba iba kasi office address nila e.
Base on my personal experience AIMS is worth your time and money. Very professional and they will really let you feel na nan-dyan lagi sila kung may kailangan ka (lalo pa noong IELTS namin ni misis). Di kailangan ng follow-up. They will tell you approximately how long ang waiting time for your documents to arrive or to be approved, then sila mismo ang tatawag syo. Very accommodating. Ang mga Pinoy staff nila "Taong" kausap. Assestment nila libre (just bring your updated resume and call in advance for a schedule) di tulad sa iba consultation S$250 (max 45min) depende pa kung week-end masmahal.. Salamat ulit kila Brandon, Girlie and their local staffs.

@rareking@Xiaomau82 nakapunta na ako sa office nila. Laging yung Pinoy na staff nila ang nandoon (Rey ata?). You'd think na dahil may Pinoy staff sila they would at least be maasikaso of their Pinoy clients but no. Mabagal pa rin sumagot sa email, template answers, ikaw lagi magfofollow-up, laging wala raw si James. Tuwing tatawag ka ganun din, yung Rey lang ang sumasagot. Pag hinahanap ko yung case manager ko (Joanne) kesyo laging nasa meeting daw, may client, etc. Useless silang kausap, dito ko na lang sa forum nahahanap yung sagot sa mga tanong ko noon.

We also consulted sa AIMS pero nalakihan kami sa gastos. Do you want to consider getting an agent na based in Australia? We got the service of Ms Gigi O'Sullivan or Reach Out Migration, around AUD2k+ ang fee nya last yr when we started and she's very supportive so far. We're into lodging our EOI now.

1. Yung una po nyang quote sa akin at initial engagement ay outdated based on latest CSOL. Di pa ako marunong nun masyado kaya nalaman ko na lang nung natuto na ako about ANSZCO search etc. Dahil dito, nag process pa ako ng IELTS remark na hindi naman pala kailangan sa current state na inaaplayan ko (++ money and time, though yung money pala nabalik ng IELTS kasi tumaas yung score ko).
2. Parati po sya sa vacation at delayed nga po mga responses sometimes pero sa case ko naman ay acceptable pa naman yung delays na nangyari (so far, knock on wood).
3. Very detailed po ako magtanong at most of the time, di nasasagot lahat ng mga tanong ko. I guess nga po, overloaded ang office nila. Tawag ako ng tawag, pero email lang natatanggap ko 80% of the time.
4. Overall I think, di po sila ganun ka updated about changes on DIBP, ANSZCO and the latest news on AU Immigration. Ako pa po yung naginform sa kanila sa nagbukas na yung isang state dun sa ANSZCO ko.
Wala po akong experience sa ibang mga agencies, pero kung meron nagrerecommend na mas maganda, wag na lang po kayo kay James Hall based on my experiences above.
Kitakits po sa Oz.

1. Pano po yung process ng termination?
2. Nagbigay po ba kayo ng reasons etc?
3. Pano nya (James Hall) naendrose sa inyo yung lahat ng mga documents nyo na sila lang meron access (EOI, VETASSESS, etc)?
4. May binayaran po ba kayo or may nakuha kayo dun sa initial payment nyo?
Babasahin ko din yung contract pala na pinirmahan ko last year, pero will appreciate kung makasagot po kayo. Salamat ng marami.

My email was very straightforward. You can PM me so I can send you yung content ng email ko if you want.
Looking back, tama nga, dapat nagbasa-basa muna ako rito! And everything you said about them, common experience ng karamihan ng clients nila. Ansakit lang cos naka-2 payments na ako nun sa kanila (sayang ang 1.7k!). Hayyy charge to experience na lang.

Yung current tanong ko lang e - yung computer accounts / password na meron sila sa Vetassess at EOI, kung ano process nun.
1. Gagawa ba sila new account to endorse it all to you..
2. Meron ba dito sa pinoyau na nagkaroon ng problema or experience sa endorsement of documents / accounts after ng termination with agent?
Salamat ng marami po!
Kitakits!
