It's an investment in your future after all.

Re: Agents?
I paid an agent as I was only to have one shot at getting it right ! Call me gullible if you want, I answer to most names 
My agent got it right, and yes admittedly I could have done it on my own, but peace of mind is worth it for me. I was not ripped off, I paid £400 + vat (spouse visa) and I feel the service I got was more than adequate (obviously as visa is in passport) and I had a greta laugh with the agent along the way.

Re: Agents?
Dear All,
Glad I used an agent for the forms but hate feeling like i'm wasting his valuable time if I phone, especially as it is very rare.
Considering that I am paying him for his time and help with my application, the ever so condescending attitude I get from him is annoying.
He must be one of the few who "gets something for doing nothing".
