In my experience, I am very glad i did it myself. I'm in control without the fees. Itong forum naging agent ko..haha..i just read requirements from border.gov.au and asked people from this forum. Aun, by God's grace above all, I got my PR visa. So, IMHO it is better to do it yourself.

so i lost hope since I cant appeal anymore to acs since its past 60 days. I was expecting that my application for invitation for NSW will be denied dahil i never submitted further information.
But yesterday (June 23). I received an invitation from NSW to lodge a visa. ang question ko po, should i lodge a visa knowing that i lack points for subclass 190?
ito po yung message from NSW last May 18 asking for further information:
In order to progress your application, the following further information is required:
Your ACS assessment indicates that:
The following employment after October 2012 is considered to equate to work at an appropriately
skilled level and relevant to 263212 (ICT Support Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code.
Dates: 01/06 - 03/10 (4yrs 2mths)
Position: Client/SMB Technical Support Senior Assistant
Employer: Dell International Services
Country: PHILIPPINES
Dates: 12/10 - 12/15 (5yrs 0mths)
Position: Infrastructure Analyst
Employer: Citibank N.A. ROHQ
Country: PHILIPPINES
This means that you are only eligible to claim skilled employment after October 2012.
Thank you for your meaningful advise.
