Australia skilled migrant

edited August 2013 in Working and skilled visas
I need help! I'm applying for the skilled migrant visa and someone from Global visas philippines called me.. They seemed to be legit so I gave in, I paid the initial 30k. I haven't started submitting docs yet so technically no help from them yet.. I've realized that what they're asking is more than what I'll pay if I didn't go through agency, now I'm planning to cancel my application with them. But before doing that, can somebody please tell me if it's the same process if I'll not go through agency?? The difference is just I need to do everything all by myself?

    @Ayen Actually depende rin kasi kung how difficult is your case.. Kung Straightforward lang cya pdeng pde munang gawin mag isa.. Kung medyo completed baka siguro kailangan mo ng help ng agent.

    Ano ba ung skills mo? Una kasi kailangan mo malaman muna ilan ung possible points mo na pde mo e claim para alam mo target mo.. Passing is 60 Points.

    then, papa assess ung skills moand u need IELTS. Ano ba skills mo? kasi maraming assessing body ang pdeng mag assess ng skills depende nalang kung saang assessing body cya papasok.

    Pagnakasign kana ng contract sa kanila di muna yan mababawi esp kung may account kana online.. buti nga sayo 30k lang nabigay mo sa global visas sa akin mga 45k un di ko na nabawi..as in wala pa silang effort nun kasi di pa rin ako nagstart mag gather ng docs..nasunogan kasi kami so naquits ung pera namin... so sad..ako pa naglong distance sa kanila tapos pinahahaba lang nila ung usapan..ang ending..hindi na sila tumawag..at least man lang tinulungan nila ako sa ibang bagay.. so I am processing on my own now..maraming negative feedback ang global visas.. sorry to say that.. ewan ko lang sa ibang tao dito sa forum ha kung ano masasabi nila sa agency na yan.

    Ang explanation nila..nag.agree na ako sa terms.and agreement nila througb online..pag.firstopen mo sa account online dun yun mabasa..pagnagproceed ka meaning agree kana dun...hehehe
    Syang din yong pera namin malaking tulong na yon sa application namin..

    I think its not hard to process by yourself as long as u dont have any problems or issues of ur docs etc..

    All u need to do read and read.. tingnan mo sa mha sticky thread sa taas ng forum nato..meron jan steps to apply.. un lang sundin mo..^^

    @Ayen madali lang magprocess ng independent specially kung ACS ang mag-aassess sayo kasi lahat online, ako I initially thought of getting an agent pero sobra naman yung singil, wala naman silang gagawin kungdi icollate yung docs mo, ikaw pa rin ang magbibigay at magrerequest from your previous employers. Kung straight forward ka lang na ACS, IELTS, EOI then lodgement kaya mo yun, if may nde ka cgurado ask ka lang dito sa forums marami tayong mga master na tutulong satin hehe. Hope this helps. Thanks!

    Kung talagang gusto nyo makasigurado pwede naman kayo mag agent pag visa application stage na. May 2 kaibigan ako gumamit ng agent: yung isa sa EOI appln at yung isa naman sa visa appln stage. Respall naman sila pareho at 80k pareho bayad nila.
    Kung complicated lang case nyo at wala kayo time magbasa online, ok mag agent.
    Ako din nag respall ako dati pero later on na realize ko doable naman saka straightforward lang ang case ko so diko na tinuloy application ko thru Respall. Sayang din 10k ko

    Yup ok ang Respall nag-initial assessment ako with them, and maganda sa kanila sasabihin nila kung ano ang real chance mo, they will tell you upfront kung di kaya ng score mo, I have friends na nagRespall and they got their visas already. You can try having an initial assessment nung time ko 1k Php lang, di ko lang sure kung same pa rin ngaun.
