Kayo pa din naman po ang maglalakad ng mga documents niyo. Kayo ang lalapit sa mga previous employers niyo to ask for references. Ang magagawa lang ni agent to help you is to check personally if okay yun format nun documents niyo and if they comply with the given guidelines of ACS or kung sino man yun body responsible for your skills assessment. Check din nila if okay for submission sa DIAC if ever yun docs niyo. AND pwedeng sila na din ang mag-notarize ng mga documents niyo. Meron din mga advantages, if you have the extra money to spend. Pero by the end of the day, sama sama lang po sa pila ang meron agents and walang agents sa paghihintay na magka-CO and visa.

But if you insist on getting an agent, I would try PALMS Immigration. Marami na silang natulungan at taon-taon may immigration seminar sila binibigay so at least patunay lang na alam nila ginagawa nila at hindi sila scammer hehe

good day sa lahat! hingi lang po ako ng advice...
eto po yung situation ko:
may 4 ako certificate of employment
1st, 2nd and 4th ko na certificates completo sa duties and responsibilities all related to course and total of 4 years of work po lahat to.
ang ika 3rd ito yung certificate na near impossible ko makuha yung duties responsibility. not even a statutory dec with my colleagues. the sad part is itong 3rd na to recent lang 2010-2011. and still related to my course
advicable po ba na e send nalang lahat to sa ACS? kahit walang duties and responsibilty yung 3rd certificate?
will the ACS accept note for my 3d explaining to them na reason why hindi ako maka kuha ng duties and responsibilities OR I will just create my own statutory dec referece to my self. I know na bawal because of the new policy of stat dec. but I will give it a try.

Try and ask and if it's taking too long, try to submit all 4 with a brief explanation on the 3rd COE

Visas lodged before 1 July 2012
If you lodged a visa application prior to 1 July 2012, it will be processed according to the priority processing direction in effect at the time your visa application is processed.
You can also submit an EOI in SkillSelect. This would allow employers and state or territory governments to view your details which may increase the chances of obtaining a skilled visa.
