Tanggapin mo na mali mga posts mo at be man or woman enough to accept your mistakes. Wag ka mamersonal. |

Hi, this is just to clarified things about vegimite posts. Mheta Immigration is registered and owned by Melissa, this is the company based inthe Philippines. Asia & New Zealand Consultants is New Zealand company. Mheta is giving a reciept for every money paid to them, in that reciept you will see the name of Melissa because she owned the company.
hope this is clear.
One more thing you also mentioned in your post that you went to Mheta and you already knows the fees way back 2005 right? Mheta didnt force you to come to him, kusa kang nag-apply nagstart ka na ba ng appilication mo. |

| Hi, this a reply to levi. Mheta Immigration is not forcing anybody to go to their ofice for immigration. Anybody goes to their office the fees are clearly mention to them no matter how expensive it is. Nasa mga apliaknte na un kung kaya nila magbayad o hindi. Hindi mo dapat husgahan kung magkano, kung mura ba o mahal, kung kay mo magbayad go to them kung hindi its up to you to look for somebody cheaper. Its not a big issue at all. |

I beg to differ, $4,500.00 is a BIG matter. I bet that still does not include GST. So, people actually pay $5,040.00 in total (more or less Php 166,320.00).
For someone who is earning a bit more than minimum wage (in new zealand dollars, I concede, but nonetheless, I do not earn a lot), I really take exception about money matters.
So forgive me when I ask if the amount of the consulting charges commiserate with the value of services.
Don't be offended, Mheta defender - I am posing this question to all consultants reading this post ( I know you do ... )
What does a consultant actually does to merit that much of a premium? What does a consultant do to merit $4,500.00 plus GST? I cannot wrap my head around that amount. Really.
I can understand those fees if I am dealing with a lawyer, doctor or accountant. They are trained professionals who have clocked in numerous hours of study and countless work days to merit a high fee. Likewise, if they f*ck up, there are governing bodies whom I can go to ask for redress.
So, what does a consultant do? Obviously, he is an agent of the client in all matters immigration, but that's about it, right?
I mean, consultants fall in line at immigration (which is not that hard a thing to do, honestly), submit the papers on behalf of the client, and would call/email the immigration office from time to time as to the status of the application. But that's about it, right? Or does the immigration consultant do other things that use highly technical and legal skills?
Please enlighten. |

storm,
refer to my most recent posts - there were two entries in MED's registry of companies under the company being discussed: one is struck off and one is registered. I have no intention of ruining a company's reputation on the assumption that there is anything left in your company?
since you're a very good guard (barking) dog for that company, why don;t you tell us why it was struck off the first time it was registered, then most recently registered again?
I think a history of your company is worth knowing for all who may be interested (esp. those who have availed of your services?)?
y the sudden "shift" of tone of being told : ur company should be checked in the local government of Makati and thE POSSIBILITY of your compnay being reported to BIR to check the company's book of accounts? U hiding something? An honest company need not be afraid if the city govenrment's business bureau and BIR will pay them a quick visit?
this i believe is purely business, nothing personal.. |

Wow with all due respect to Melissa, she is the owner pala of Mheta Immigration Consultancy , Im just wondering how come in 2005 I asked her who owns the company , she said that Mr. Mheta is the owner and she is just the secretary there .
Well its true that Mheta did not force me to go to your company and I regret going there in my humble opinion. I felt that I paid too much for that initial consultation fee (1200 plus if i remember it right) . all for initial asssesment(and a CD plus a brochure that you can obtain for free in NZ) of my points which i could have seen in the inz website (again my mistake)
plus I was told that the fees would be 4500nzd at the exchange rate of 40php way back in 2005 . If i remember it right the bank exchange rate that time was only around 32php : 1nzd ... 3 years down the line its basically the same exchange rate : whoaaa
well I guess I already said my piece . all my issues are clear . enough said. best of luck to you batista. |

After I read all the posts in this forum I came up to a conclusion that its all depends on the people if they want to use the service of the company or not. If you can afford them you can use them and if you cannot don’t use them. They do not force you to come and pay them. It’s your choice to use them or not. Let’s stop this nonsense and let’s go back to our jobs if you have one. |

Well, I do NOT personally confirm the fact of their existence, I just looked into the Companies website to see if the Company (ANC) is still active. So, paalala lang (reminder) I am not endorsing this company or any other consultancy.
But, why $4,500.00 new zeland plus GST? Why? Why? Why? Why so expensive? $4,500.00 is about one fourth the basic minimum wage in new zealand.
What is so special to warrant a $4,500.00 fee? |

Why the fees? Its thir fees. They can ask wht they wnt. If the applicanr wants to pay he pays and applies through them If he doesnt want to pay that much he does not go to them. They are to decide how much they are going to charge not he applicant dictate thire fees. One question? what is so special about the price of oil at $140.00 per barrel when it was only $50.00 last year? The simple answer to this is that the sellers want this price and the buyyers may buy it or leave it. its the choice of the consumer to pay and use who he awants. Anyway as the oil prices are going up there is apossibility that their fees may also go up. I will let youi know when that happens. So please leave i to the user if he wishes to pay or not. I hope you have my humble reply to your concerns about their fees.
There is no need for you to endorse the company> The point noted is that the company is still active and the rest is given above about the company. They do not need your kind endorsement. |

You mean the fees will hike up some more?!?
Jesus, I am really in the wrong profession!!
Wheras I have to slave two months to earn $4,500 imagine what I would earn if I have ten clients as a "consultant"?
$45,000.00!!!
Man, I will put up my shingle asap (heaps of sarcasm included).
Wow, I might even be able to afford them posh houses in Remuera be neighbors with Mr Mehta!!
Any suggestions on a business name and motto? |

|
|
Hello All,
Am just new here and I've read some of the other member's opinion/posts. I would like to share my points too since I've just attended a seminar of Mheta last August 10, 1008.
Some of the points they made clear were (1)they are not a job-hiring agency, but an immigration consultant firm only; (2)receipts will be under the name of their New Zealand affiliation company na and not under secretary Melissa, who is Mrs Mehta na.
I still have no idea how much are they going to charge for the consultancy, but so far I know, they charge Php 2,000 for the assessment paper that you are going to file, which includes 2 CDs about New Zealand.
Am still not sure if I'm going to proceed with their service after reading some of the posts here.
I just would like to ask for any advice as to which is much better and cheaper given the situation that I am here in Cagayan de Oro (Mindanao) -- to go for an agency or to do things on my own? And to think that I don't have the luxury of time since I am currently working here.
Hope anybody, somebody could help me. Thank you!  |

i suggest that you do the processing yourself. just visit www.immigration.govt.nz
and save your 2k as well. you can try the online points calculator at the inz website..(for sure yun lang naman ang gagawin nila --count your points).and there are heaps of information regarding NZ on the internet
how come they will issue an OR using their NZ affiliated company? di ba dapat eh ang gagamitin nilang resibo ay ang kumpanyang nakarehistro sa pilipinas.?
you dont have to be in manila to do the processing/ file your EOI..you can file your EOI online.
goodluck |

i'm sorry to have given the wrong information. i must have jumbled my notes. they're going to use pla the mheta name with their receipt.
thank you for the advise. i already made some checking with the EOI and more or less, i got a 140 points. one more thin... how about payments and processing, can this also be done online?
again, much thanks to you! |

the meat of the matter???
You DON'T NEED a consultant like Mheta to file YOUR application (from start to finish) for NZ Immigation. All you would need to know,including forms and payment details, anyone can download from www.immigration.govt.nz
if there are things you need to clarify, read the posts here or ask the oldies (no offense guys/gals)
to consultants and inyong "friends", IF you really believe that people will still actively get your services regardless, then you should tell your client-wannabes BEFORE they commit to you that they can do the whole process on their own.
IF you think you're THAT good, you should be THAT honest as well. |
