Thorough guidance
Vincent was super helpful. Thorough guidance throughout from choosing the best institution, major, and visa processing. He also provided some long term insights, like career plans/pathways.
Vincent went out of the way and beyond to help me in any way he could, including booking medical check and wiring first term’s school fee (I didn’t have a local bank account yet).
Post pandemic, with the backlog, onshore applications often take some time to get approved. In my case, it took 3 months from the date of application, which was considered ok, I guess.
Prior to finally decided to come to the agency, I have scoured and contacted a couple of other agencies. I must say, Brightannica (Melbourne) is the most if not the only honest, transparent and ethical agency out there. For those out there who are newbies in a foreign countries, you know what I mean. Some not all, may try to take advantage of you. In this case, other agencies may be charging like consulting fee, etc etc.
