We used Thinking Australia and Daryll of course.
They were absolutely brilliant and with us every step of the way... night or day!! They are always happy to help no matter what time it is.
I have a criminal record, read earlier posts, and was concerned that we wouldn't get in. Needless to say we needed of worried as they guided us through the whole process.
Although one of the cheapest we contacted this wasn't the reason we chose them if was more about the personal touches and the 24hr, no matter how stupid you think it is, contact us at no extra cost.
Although we have our visa I will occassionally still ring Daryll for advise on different things and even if he's not about he ALWAYS ring me back and goes out of his way to help.
