Can anyone suggest me the best migration consultant for Australia/New Zealand? By best I mean Consultant should be honest/have integrity, knowledgeable, provide fast service, give genuine information and charge reasonable fees.  Please suggest.

I have been to global migration for a free consultation and if I were to hire a consultant .. I would choose them...I find that they are very professional. Nevertheless, I decided to do the visa application on my own..

Can anyone tell me what is the total cost for applying to OZ or NZ? 3 years ago when I asked from Rayfold, both countries cost me around RM20k++, not sure how much now..is it really that much?

Really appreciate if someone here can share his/her success experience getting his visa or skilled migrant visa via agent

Rayford and Global Migration quoted total fee is around RM 30k for me and my partner for Oz. Not sure about NZ.

We did it on our own and only costs around RM 17.5k (including IELTS and other MISC charges- translation fees etc).

The visa application fee for skill migration visa charges to-date are:

Main applicant AUD 3520
Additional application above 18 AUD 1760
Additional application below 18 AUD 880

Not able to share success of using agent as I did not use agent. But just to share, my application from Ielts to grant took approx 6 months.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know any site that could calculate the migration points for AU?
*
I am not sure which site can help calculate the points. However, you can go to the link: http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/189.aspx , then click on the tab “point test” to check whether you have enough points.

And you do not apply skill migration visa via the embassy. You have to apply it via www.immi.gov.au. The whole application is done online.

Does anyone know any friends or mutual friends who is currently working as a 3D artist or Illustrator and they are planning to apply Australia Permanent Resident (PR) visa ?

Or even they are already working in Australia as an 3D artist/ Illustrator?

I need more information regarding this occupation and how they apply Australia PR? Please let me know if you know any of them . Much appreciated !!! smile.gif

I think most Illustrators who are Aust PR applied prior to 1 July 2013. ACT state used to have state sponsorship for illustrator but they have close it since 1 July 2013. Don't think any other states has this open on their respective SOL.

Another possible reason is that they are dam good tat they manage to find Aussie employer to sponsor their work permit to work there.

From what my agent told me that Illustrator has been listed closed in ACT State Sponsorship since February 2014, because when they checked it in September 2013, it is still listed as LIMITED.  cry.gif

Agents nowadays very sneaky. Better read thoroughly on your contract before you sign. I engaged with Rayford. May case is straight forward and easy. I got 65 points where the requirement only 60.
I actually did apply once by DIY but end up not sent to DIAC coz family pushing me to return MAS (14 years ago). It's easy to do if DIY. I got no time to do so leave it to agent.
Rayford giving me false info and messing with me with some dramas. I screwed them and f*ck them then only they work. Following are my event based on Subclass 175 (Replaced with 189 if apply now)

Applied: May 2012
IELTS: band 6.5; July 2012
Police check: Nov 2012
Medical: Dec 2012
Approved: Jan 2013
1st Landing: April 2013

I landed without job. Start sending job apps to seek.com or gumtree.
Call and get in touch with recruiters. keep on calling and walk in.
I sending 100 job apps in 2 weeks. Including those company who's not appointing.
You really need to be aggressive in looking for job.
I have some friends after sending job apps and sit there waiting. Wait 1 year also no job.
I even met a guy who's fresh graduate, he couldn't find a job in Melbourne so he came to Perth walk-in and straight away he got a job

How long did you take to get a job? Yes, been looking out via seek but so far, no response. I guess easier to find after relocating there. I might also try to ask my company for a transfer to Oz. Hopefully can get sad.gif

If you're offshore, applying thru seek is zero! Especially market now not that good. However, what's your profession?
The best option is transfer to Oz thru your current company. BUT....definitely in waiting list coz many have the same way of thinking as you.
So, I suggest take up the risk. Bring your butt here and start looking. Employer here wanna look at you and see you can work or not.
Pressure and tense not that bad compared to KL.

Well...chances of getting a job on seek is slim but I was just trying my luck.

My profession on SOL is accountant. My job requires me to oversee work for a few countries including Oz n NZ.

But if they don't allow it, i will relocate next year. If can't get job, will take up a cert for sector in demand such as health care and get myself re-train for a new profession. smile.gif
