@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 - 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.

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!

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 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 - 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...

Good Luck po.

@faa317 pwede matanong how much yung binayad nyo sa AIMS? Ako din pagod na sa kakawork dito sa SG e...
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.
faa317Sydney Posts: 105Member Joined: Feb 20, 2012
@plokie 5800 sgd po that was last dec 2011 But dont know if any increase by now.
plokieSingapore Posts: 40Member Joined: Nov 20, 2012
@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... =(..
@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%+
plokieSingapore Posts: 40Member Joined: Nov 20, 2012
@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....
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.

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

July 28, 2013 - Final move to Perth
Sep 9, 2013 - Started work with the same company i worked for in UAE/USA
Oct 28, 2013 - Moved to another company..
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.

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.
