@mrluis try AIMS..mukang ok nman sya pero mahal..I think mas ok kng Do it yourself na lng para mas tipid tpos dagdag na lng sa pocket money yng pambayad s agency...yun yng suggestion nila dto... Good Luck

mrluis · February 2013

working kasi kami parati ni hubby dto sg. Kaya kaya namin maayos? thanks

Hunter_08 · February 2013

@mrluis uhm sa tingin ko kaya nman..ang mahirap lng nman tlga is yng pag gather ng documents e..maski mag agency kyo, kyo pa din yng magaasikaso ng mga documents nyo...so i think its better kng sarili n lng po para makatipid pero kng may extra nman kyo for that its up to you po..

ako din working here dto sa SG pero i choose to apply n lng ng sarili. naisip ko din na mag agency at first nung nag inquire ako the fee is SGD5k+ take note professional fee lng nila yun ah pero ikaw p din amg babayad ng pag mag pa assess ka at lodge ng visa so ang laki tlga ng aabutin...

mrluis · February 2013

nyaks..laki nga..So bali mga 10k sgd estimated magagastos? pwede ko ba makuha cell number mo? thanks

@mrluis - coming from personal experience, we were also working din naman ni misis sa SG when we worked on our immigrant visa. Tama si @Hunter_08, even if you get an agent, ikaw pa rin naman ang gagawa ng mga legwork. The agent will be there though to advise you for anything.

Konting basa basa lang and you may be able to save a few thousand dollars.

Goodluck!!

yup. kayang kaya naman i DIY. madugo lang paggather ng requirements pero this forum is a great help in making things easier. malaking bagay ang natipid namin dahil s DIY.

Correct @viperbuzz12 - research lang and if something does not appear to be clear, tanong lang dito...

However if may question like WHERE DO YOU START - I think ibig sabihin nito kailangan talaga ng migration agent!

Hunter_08 · February 2013

@mrluis nag PM ako syo

nomad · February 2013

Just DIY! Had I known this website earlier, I would have done it on my own too. There were times when I've submitted all my papers to the agent sooner than the time they process themselves. For example, the lodging of visa took them 2 wks to "review". Wth! =_=

EXACTLY... You cannot trust these agents to process your application immediately!

Plus, kung mga may tanong ka it will take them a while to get back to you for answers.

And pinaka worse is that hindi ka pwede dumiretso sa DIAC whenever you have an agent process your papers for you. All queries need to be coursed via the agent.

mrluis · February 2013

thanks guys. sana tlga makaya ko i process by myself. kapagod kasi mag work dto

faa317 · February 2013

@mrluis hi our agent is AIMS, we are also both working kaya kumuha kami ng agent and our case is not straightforward. We got our visa last november, surprisingly our processing is only less than a year. Same here pagod narin kami dito.. pareho stressful yung job namin. Were planning to leave by mid july, save muna pang baon : )

mrluis · February 2013

hi faa

wow naman. Cno agent nyo sa aims? good to hear nakuha nyo na visa nyo. Yep pagod na dn ako mag nurse dto. Gsto na namin umalis hubby. thanks faa

Admin · February 2013

aims is ok. i tried visiting their office before in tangjong pagar. and they are indeed expensive but i think worth naman.

mrluis · February 2013

ok thanks admin. We'll try to visit din ni hubby. Btw may offer si hubby dto sa sg. 2 yrs contract. Tingin nyo ipa grab ko sa kanya? plan ko na kasi mag apply for australia. Ielts nlng kulang ko or Wag nlng muna nya tanggapin becoz of the 2yrs contract.thanks!

@mrluis - if i am to reply; these are decisions that only you can be able to answer... it really depends on your priority. if you can slug it out for another 2yrs pwede grab the opportunity but if you want to run and play with kangaroos immediately, deyns na cguro...

Again, up to you and assess your priorities.

Hunter_08 · March 2013

@NSC ang suggestion ko po if yng case nyo nman hndi complicated mas ok po siguro mag sarili n lng po kyo ksi sayang din nman po yng ibabayad nyo sa agent pwede nyo n din po idagdag sa pocket money nyo yun.. ako din po nung first nag pa assess ako sa agent dto sa SG pero namahalan po ako kya nagbasa na lng po ako ng mga step by step on how to process yng application to AU at kng may mga question po kyo or clarification regarding the application I think the other experienced forumer is willing to help to address your question. Good Luck po.

sharean07 · March 2013

@NSC hello po=)
meron po akong mga kakilala na nag agent, agent nila si James Hall ng aumigrate www.aumigrate.com
pero tama po si @hunter_08 if meron po kayong time tlga magbasa basa dito sa forum natin marami po ang tlagang walang sawang tumutulong.

at first, mag-agent din po sana kami, pero laki nga di ng masesave if mgtyaga lng tlga magbasa basa.
pero if may budget naman po kayo tlga go lng hehe

NSC · March 2013

kahit tight yung budget now, I would still prefer po to engage an agent, although sa tingin ko hindi naman complicated yung state ko.

Hi Sharean07, I am eyeing to get James Hall service for my application... do you have any info or how they assist their clients....
thanks po sa inputs!

Admin · April 2013

Sorry but I dont recommend james hall for me. Dont have good impression on him. I would suggest you try our sponsor ntrust. And try to mention u found them on our site see if you can get a discount from them. Just a note I dont get any sort of referral or token from them. I just dont have good experience with james hall

plokie · April 2013

@faa317 pwede matanong how much yung binayad nyo sa AIMS? Ako din pagod na sa kakawork dito sa SG e...

happyinmelbourne34 · April 2013

had a good experience with Aumigrate...2007 when I signed up with them. Sabi ni Mr James mag take daw agad ako ng IELTS w/c I did para dun s next process w/c is skills assessment. Hehehe, dto ko medyo tinamad kc iniisip ko non para yatang masyadong matrabaho parang ang hirap gawin at minamadali lang ako ng Aumigrate na to, d nla ko tnantanan hanggang matapos ko ung skills assessment. 2008 when they submitted my visa application, then 2009 nagkaron ng daming changes s policy nag po provide nman cla ng updates kung ano ung mga changes sa DIAC and ung possible impact sa application hanggang ma approve ako nung 2010 kaya para sa kin OK c Mr James Hall/aumigrate.

faa317 · April 2013

@plokie 5800 sgd po that was last dec 2011 But dont know if any increase by now.

plokie · May 2013

@faa317, Thanks a lot. nakakuha ako ng quote sa AUMIGRATE e, 4000 plus halos...

Actually, qa supervisor/manager ako pero biglang sabi nya base sa job description ko customer service manager daw dapat inominate ko.. kaya parang na lost na ako... =(..

ndi ko na tuloy alam ano gagawin...hahaha

happyinmelbourne34 · May 2013

@polie...wahhh 4K+ plus agent's fee lang ba yan? Nung nag sign up ako sa kanila 3K pa lang pero that was 2007, nag increase na sya ng 30%+

plokie · May 2013

@happyinmelbourne34, yep somewhere that price kasi ang computation ko nga din halos 10K sgd in total kasama visa. Nagwoworry lang talaga ako kasi baka maling occupation ang manominate ko e... nagulat na nga alng ako na customer service ang recommended nya base daw sa description ko.. so now indi na ako confident magsariling-sikap sa pag aaply....

happyinmelbourne34 · May 2013

kung 4+ plus n nga ang agents fee nya muka ngang halos 10K SGD ang magagastos mo for the entire process. But dun ba sa SOL/CSOL list nakita mo ba ung occupation mo dun as QA supervisor/mngr? Yan lang ang kagandahan ng agent at least ma gu guide nya kung ano ang tamang occupation na dapat inominate. Ako non nag try ako mag DIY pa NZ, ayun palpak nagbayad dn ako ng 300NZD+ yata yon para sa EOI nla. Ang reason e un daw occupation na ninomoninate ko ay ndi tama. Naging lesson learned sa kin un kaya un nung nag apply ako sa Au I decided na mag agent na.

lock_code2004 · May 2013

@plokie - check first your job description versus the ANZSCO code description..

nomad · May 2013

It's not about the position title, it's more about the job description because different companies have their own naming convention so gather the job titles you think that best suit on what you're currently doing or the occupation that you want to be nominated and read through all the descriptions given in ANZSCO and choose the closest/ similar functions that you do.

plokie · May 2013

@lock_code2004 and @nomad thanks sa reply... Aayusin ko na muna nga ung jd ko e... Kc nung nag online assessment ako naiba nomination ko... So bka mejo need kong irevise ng konti ung jd ko...
