What would be really fabby now is if all the people who voted "other" could let us know who they instructed please as over half fall into that category? I know some have already by the way!!

That is a wholly unmerited comment from someone who appears to have contributed very little to this forum.

Furthermore:

1. How I run my business is of no concern to you.

2. If you have a problem with the time I spend on the internet each day that's your problem, not mine. I like to think the time I spend dealing with questions and emails from clients (and others) isn't a problem ... why should it be? I don't see clients complaining about the time I (and my colleagues) spend dealing with their enquiries and applications.

3. I am not the only person working at Go Matilda - there are 11 of us presently. In other words I have a very able and competent team of people who don't post on these forums, and who are working on client matters and administration.

Best regards.

Shouldn't they be working on their clients behalf instead?

Are you asking that those of us who are registered migration agents don't contribute to forums any more? Because if you are, I think you might find you are in a minority ... I am happy to spend time providing input where I can, but from what you are saying it seems you'd prefer it if I didn't (presumably the same would apply to George Lombard, JAJ, etc).

Best regards.

Just seems like sharking on people when they are least confident thats all.

I stand corrected.

There are lot of members who have found the advice from George Lombard and Alan Collett invaluable to their visa applications. Why should there be a problem with agents providing this service for free?

We used OE and they were rubbish. When I see the knock on effect of their incompetence it has literally cost us thousands.

Sorry, I meant to finish that....

I think thats a bit harsh, a lot of Agents give free and invaluable advice in forums such as this and it is for this that we should all be very grateful. I think you will find the agents on here, and others such as ASA, are totally committed to their client base - and I dont think any of them would neglect their clients so they could spend a few more minutes in forums such as this.

So thanks....
