    @Bambi hello there, I'm a migration agent...I just saw your post. I'm not sure if I could be of any help in case you're considering someone based in Philippines as I'm based here in London. Most of my clients are Brits but once in a while I get queries from Philippines through word of mouth. The thing about me assisting fellow Filipinos is I don't really charge much, just fair and enough to cover my overheads. It's just my way of giving back as I did the Australian journey myself many years ago so I understand to be in your shoes. And I'd say the decision to migrate was my ticket to see and experience a different side of the world which gave me the opportunity to live in Germany and now in the U.K. so somehow just sharing the opportunities I've been enjoying since to those wanting to make a move as well. Once in a while, I give my thoughts on this forum in the view of helping in my own little way. Anyway, give me a shout in any case! Visit my website www.visaconsort.com or send me an email [email protected]

    @Kojak may agent na nagsabi. hindi daw lahat ng agent ay created equal, para daw doctor hindi lahat ng doctor magaling. d ko na babanggitin ang pangalan nya. pero i would say may mga agent naman na affordable at capable. mahal ata ang 700k. you need to break down the fee and try asking around. try mo pm si Ms Rhea ng Visa Consort :) maybe she can help.

    pero kung marami kang oras, you can also DIY but medyo malupet na research ang need mo.

    @Kojak standard MARA agent fee for PR application in Melbourne is around 3,500 AUD. Di ko sure kung sa single lang ito nag apply.

    @KDOKait they are independent entity / individuals not connected to any. But they have the expertise and knowledge about how to go through with the visa application.

    @KDOKait we are in no way connected with these organisations and to advertise as such is a breach on our code of conduct. In the same way as lawyers would not be affiliated with government bodies. We represent the clients and provide them with educated and professional advice.
