I would say the TRA is the hard bit and the Visa the easy bit, if you get TRA approved (and you meet all the criteria for the visa ie police checks and medicals) Visa app is easy and more or less guaranteed. If you fail TRA you are buggered (although you can try more than once)
My agent is based in UK (Overseas Emigration Visas - OE Visas), we have been happy with them

We are also using OE for our emigration. They were fantastic through the whole TRA episode. I would highly recommend them.

But I think we are going to use an Agent get prices first tjen go from there

we used agent first time round and still failed basically because we chose a naff agent!!!
we are changing agents and going for it again - at least this time round i know where we went wrong!!! you dont simply need to provide references and qualifications you need to provide an idiots guide to your trade!

Nice. Funny you should mention birthdays as it's my 40th this year and Rachel was asking me if I wanted something special. I'm still limping for suggesting the same thing
