  Hi @johnjrgs, here's the thread for Visa 476.
  
  http://pinoyau.info/discussion/304/are-you-an-engineer-visa-476/p32
  
  Getting an agent for Visa 476 is definitely a waste of money (for me). You can do it by yourself with the help of others here. I can attest to that as I was previously a holder of visa 476. You may want to check the thread and if you still have questions, feel free to ask. God bless and congratulations on your graduation and for passing the board exam!

  Sorry for the late reply. I didn't continue with Respall. I'm planning to do what leadme said above. If I get all the required documents it should be fairly easy. I'm also planning on taking PTE instead of IELTS.

  Thanks for the reply guys! Been busy with work recently so haven't got much time to review this Aus plan of mine.
