Hi there, thanks for your feedback! Could you please clarify what an anmac is? Also, would you be able to share with me details of your agent? Hope that’s ok - happy to pm

I'm sure it depends on your career but I had a lot of luck applying to companies speculatively, explaining my situation and requesting an initial Skype interview. While it didn't secure a role straight away, it definitely meant that as soon as I got to Brisbane I had a number of interviews to attend in person and a handful of potential interviewers interested in me already. A lot of employers were surprisingly understanding and accommodating so best of luck to you too if you try this method.

Trying to PM you but I'm not able to. I've messaged admins to find out why - I keep getting an error message. As soon as I hear back I'll message

Wow, who did you use? Could you please pm me details so I can look into it?

Hi Raul, I'm not too sure what a lodgement fee is but I do not believe this is covered. I'd be moving over alone so the fee just covers me. The fee is broken down into: The nomination fee ($540) The skill assessment fee ($880) The visa application fee ($3,670) Medical test Character/police check Management fee ($6,600) Thanks

Hi all, Hope you can offer me some advice/insight. I'm looking to apply for the 186 visa as I have an employer in Brisbane willing to sponsor me as a copywriter. I engaged in conversation with a migration agent who strongly agreed with this route but the fees that they've quoted seem to be quite high - approximately 12k AUD. This also includes assistance with the skills assessment so I do realise that it's a very thorough service, but I wanted to see if this is a reasonable cost or if anyone has had positive experiences with other agents at a more affordable cost and would recommend them? Any assistance or advice or insight is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance
