Thank you for suggestion. Roughly what's the difference in terms of cost and time compared to agent?

Would it be a big gap?. Rough estimation cost & time will do. No need exact smile.gif

If you apply on your on (single applicant under visa 189/190), the fees should not be more than 15/16k MYR

Payment to Aus IMMI, IELTS, VetAss (my case was Engineers Australia), Aus Police Clearance, Medical Checkup etc

Dont quite remember what are all the requirements but there is a checklist you can download from the website.

The application process is rather straightforward, they detailed the steps and have checklists for all the required documents.

Yeah. Actually not difficult to do yourself if you have the time. Actually i doubt agents have the 'magic' to help visa go through

I doubt the agents have the "magic" too.

They are very familiar with the process and the chances of them submitting the wrong (incomplete) documents are low. Historically, the process will prolong, or somewhat loses priority, when you submit a document incorrectly or missing some documents.

Agents are also good in helping you to explore additional options if you are short of the required points, e.g. they might get you to get a translator certificate just to get the points.

^ Just my thoughts.

I know right!
Really lucky. My agent was shocked too coz i'm also one of the quickest among his other clients.
He actually told me that the process might take few months or even 1-2 year.
I actually go and interview for job as do not wanted to waste time.
I join the bank and throw resign letter literally the 2nd day on floor XD
What you mean by qualifications?
The skill assessment? i used my degree result for CPA.
Of course by using agent (a good and reliable one), you can have a piece of mind/enjoy the benefits to get things done fast and straight forward.
Thats what you are paying for. If not who want to waste money on something you can do it yourself?
They know what forms need to be filled and when to do the right thing.
But i do mean a good and reliable one...coz i've heard many terrible things from a lot of Malaysia agent from the people i meet during ielts.

The speed of immi aus processes your application really varies. i think its completely dependent on luck. if any agents tell you that they have the "backdoor" or privilege to a fast application, it is very likely its just a marketing line.

I concur to the statement that, making use of a good and reliable agent will grant you a peace of mind.

They will know what to prepare, the thorough procedures etc. This completely eliminates the possibility of missing out on an important document or rather filling the incorrect information.

I have heard from friends who have submitted the wrong information, their application timing really took a blow and it really slowed down the application process. But at the end of the day they still got it after they sort out the necessary.
