Hi just trying to get an idea of what agent to use and what sort of prices you guys are paying, I am a 24 year old electrician, with a Girlfriend and a bump, due in August

We're paying £1400.00 inc VAT plus Visa fees! That's for Me and Bird!! Cheers'en.

Thank you what do you do mate, and what agent u using, and cheers

Paid £1500 plus vat with Visa-go for 136 skilled independent.I would highly recommend them and they offer a no visa no fee service.

We're using Wessex migration in Poole 01202 738999, he got some people we know in, one case was quite complicated!!
I'm a Welder, we're going for Skilled independant.


Cheers'en.

firstly my priority is not fees it is success rate!! i paid £450 plus VAt to a bloody useless agent plus the TRA fee and failed miserably because their advice was truly SH*TE. I am now with another agent who are slightly more expensive but hopefully will get us through (no pressure Alan!!! ). so, what im trying to say is maybe you should ask about success rates not fees. otherwise you could end up paying a lot more ultimately in wasted fees!!

That is a fair point, but I am hoping to do this on a tight budget, is alan with go matilda, I take it u r happy with him.

I am a Plasterer going for skilled sponsored, my agent who is based in both Aus and UK are charging $8000 all in, tra, visa medicals etc, payable in 4 installements of $2000, so about £3300 all in

Edited to add, we are a family of 6

Oh wow that sounds quite good who is that with, r u happy with them so far.

Its worth doing a search on this forum to see who comes out most popular.

Some people may not be able to talk freely about how they have found their agent as was seen a few months ago when threads were closed due to complaints about a certain company.

So make sure and be sure your agent not only fits the professional criteria, but you can approach them for any advice with your application.

You pay them for a service which should be the best.

Good luck

absolutely right Sam. totally agree

Yeah I have done this and I have a fairly good idea of who not to use, I was just trying to get an idea of what agents cost, I have heard a lot of good things
about go matilda

Hi again, my agents are called AIAE, (Australian Immigration and Employment).
from what I can make out they are a merged company of AAA Australian Migration, which I have had 2 recommendations, and is the reason I went for these, and Visa Solutions Australia.
I cannot really comment on their performance yet, as I have only started the ball rolling last week, but i will keep you informed

I can highly recommend Peter Elliott at Wessex Migration. 01202 738999. We paid a lot less than the going rate 2 years ago, but I believe he now charges about £1200.00 for 136 skilled.

Thank you, that doesnt sound too bad.
