Any advice, if I will not get a Migration agent, does it easy to do all the requirements by myself? Thanks

So it will be best if you read everything that is required of you. Given that, I don't think you will be needing a migration agent anymore. If you have questions about your application with ACT just shoot the Canberra Team an email and from my experience they reply immediately.
This forum is also helpful, lalo na si akino kahit dami ko tanong sinasagot niya SS route nga pala ako Visa 190. Still waiting for a response from my case officer. Help me Lord!

Malaking tulong talaga itong forum. I am still waiting for the result of my assessment with APharmC. Here is my timeline.
Main applicant (Me): Retail Pharmacist-251513
5-21-2013 Submit TRA Assessment Application
5-23-2013 TRA Acknowledgement received thru email
6-28-2013 Received email from APharmC for additional requirements
7-05-2013 Sent amended requirements to APharmC
May question if my husband is not practicing his profession (graduated Doctor of Optometry, non board passer) what will be the effect with my SS application. He's in the business over the past 10yrs. One more thing after my assessment with APharmC and cleared the IELTS(acedamic module), I can proceed to lodge my application either for SS or EOI, or take the KAPS exam(bridging program) qualifying exam for overseas pharmacists and a requirement for registration in Aus Board of Pharmacy, para pag dating ko dun intern na ako which is pre-requisite for registration. My question is, saan ako mag start? Naguguluhan ko kasi, my friend told me na I can't lodge my application if I wouldn't pass the KAPS exam first. Ang alam ko naman pwede na ako mag apply for SS or EOI pag pasadao na ako sa Assessment with APhramC. I've been browsing the DIAC website for almost a week, but I didn't find any answers to my question. Any advise from you guys will be highly appreciated. Thanks!
