Update
I arrived in Melbourne at around midnight on 27th March so it’s been a week since the big move. Here are my thoughts on the settlement part of their services so far.
Airport transfer - No issues, nasundo ako ng third-party airport transfer without paying extra. Marami rin akong dala and they got a big enough van for my belongings.
Accommodation - They guided me throughout the selection and application process. They even instructed me to place their address as the most recent entry in my rental history. Since I lodged my visa application on 29/11/2022, they considered it as more than a year of “renting” with them since I completed all of the payment tranches on time. While I was in Manila, sila na yung nag-communicate directly with landlords and brokers. Sadly maraming rejections dahil sa timing ng availability so it took until the day I arrived in Melbourne until I was able to personally view and sign a lease agreement. Naka-move in na rin ako kahapon (nag-four day long weekend din kasi sila with two public holidays).
Employment - They’ve been guiding my wife with the nuances of preparing her resume while the agent is studying her profession (first time daw nila maka-encounter ng doctor, usually IT or engineers mga clients nila) and looking around for openings they can apply to, both through online job platforms and the agent’s network of recruiters. Will update again once may work na nahanap for her.

Hi, I just have a concern and hope anyone can answer. I am also under My New Australian Life with Carmine as my Lawyer. I received an email today regarding my application update and I was advised that my Expression of Interest and Skills Assessment has already lapsed. So I need to lodge a new skills assessment and lodge multiple new EOI's this coming July. However, I was not aware that they will charge me for this additional work when I did not received any invite since January 2023. I worry if this will be worth it? What if I will not receive an invite again for the next 1 or 2 years? So they will charge me again?
I do not know what to do with this setback. Hope anyone can share if they have experienced this. Thank you.

So sorry to hear this! Unfortunately, that's really the gamble with lodging EOIs. If you are worried about the cost implications of retaining an immigration lawyer until you get an invite, I believe you can request that they turn over your application to you so you can DIY succeeding EOIs. I sure hope that your next round of EOIs, if you decide to proceed, will get you an invite already. 🙏🏼
