- if you have the time to check/understand the requirements
- whether your case is simple/straighforward/not complicated
- and most importantly, whether you have the money to pay the agent ...

as per IMMI.gov.au hindi required ang agent. but masasabi ko lang e... mas may peace of mind pag may agent or kung ayaw mo research ng pagkarami rami agent will save you a lot of time.
pero drawback neto mahal ang agent kaya ung ibang mga members dito nag sariling sikap
try mo ung sponsor natin sa taas click mo ung banner na seekmigration.com.au inquire ka then mention na nakita mo ads from pinoyau.info , and ni recommend ka ni admin. they might give u a discount.
good luck!

May mga friends po kami ngayon na interested. I always recommend they process they're own. They're all single, I can help them if they have questions, and over the process, they will find out, ultimately, kung gusto talaga nila mag migrate sa Australia. Migrating is always a big decision, full of risks, but with preparation, a little luck, and a lot of God's help, it will happen for you. Tatagan lang ng loob. Good luck!

Na notice ko kasi dito sa forum na madalas ang IT and CPA, pero I have not yet met someone na mech eng. Baka kako magkaiba ang job market ng different disciplines kasi.
Thank you in advance and hopefully, mabasa mo pa itong question ko kahit medyo matagal na ang nireplyan ko na post mo hehe.

I have been planning to migrate to Australia but I really don't know where to start. I have been reading some of the threads here and I figured it will be best if I get an agent to help/guide me with my application. Sa tingin ko po kasi kailangan ko ng agent to guide me kasi yung work ko hindi naman in demand like IT or Engineering. Advertising industry kasi line of work ko. Any recommendation po for a tried and trusted agent? Thanks in advance!

1. Lahat ba ng state my requirements na prrof of funds for state nomination? Kc prng my nresearch ko ung iba meron nga like 20 to 30k.. If not anong state ang walang ganung reqt..nand if requirement din un sa actual application na ng visa
2. Is it true na to be come approved for state nomination ung ibang state ng rerequire na u need to have a job offer already from that state or currently working on that state or have lived there for a period of time.. Parang my nbsa akong ganun.. (Like sa NSW, sbi skin nung friend ko my nakausap daw sya previous employee dun sa office n ng aayos ng mga SS and sabi importand daw tlga ung COE na proof n currently working ka sa NSW and it will give u chance to become approve for SS)
3. May impact kaya sa application ko for PR and SS na di na current ung hospital experience ko like last December 2012 pa.. And also kung may impact na currently working ako as call center pero in a medical field naman. Kasi requirement na nurse ka for that call center account.
In short, my situation is i dont have 20 to 30k aud to prive as proof of fund for SS, my hospital experience is not current and last december 12 pa, i dont have payslips, itr etc to support my employment, i only have COE, im currently working in a call center but its specifically for nurses.
Given my "nobela" hehe ano kaya g chance ko maapprove ang state nomination and 190 visa ko?
The rest of my requirements are ok nmn like ielts..un lng tlga na mentioned above.
