Re: Agents
We too used Ian harrop - first class service & a small enough company to give you the personal service that you need to get thru this process. Our visas were thru 10 weeks after we out in main application. Very professional & really approachable. Would recommend to anyone.

Re: Agents
For what it's worth our fees for a skilled independent application (including the skills assessment application) vary between A$2,000 and A$3,775 depending on the occupation requiring a skills assessment and the status of the applicant (ie single/married or de facto). At present exchange rates that equates to about GBP800 and GBP1,500.
The DIMIA fee is presently A$1,845, or about GBP735. The assessing body's fee will depend on your occupation - say A$500, or about GBP200. Add medicals, chest X-rays, and police reports - amount depends on age of family. Might be of interest to some ... Best regards.

Re: Agents
It is probably more a function of the agent's underlying costs/expenses H, and their pricing policy, though the VAT will also be a factor.
Best regards.

Best regards. as you have offices in both places you wouldn't compete with each other price wise? I guess its just that its easier for us to talk to Southamton rather than Melbourne because of the time difference? BTW well done to the gomatildas on the AFL oz tips- it took me a few weeks to get into it and I am newish to AFL but it was fun competing :) |
Re: Agents
If you talk to the UK office (T 023 80 488777) they'll give you the option of paying in GBP's or AUD's (so long as you are looking at a skilled visa application) ... or complete the details here and I will arrange for one of the team to call:
