could anybody tell me how i go about getting an agent to help me with all of the immigration paperwork? or am i better off doing it by myself? i've heard that they're rather expensive.

thanks

There are loads of agents around. Have a search on here for many that are recommended. We are using Access Migration in Northampton and they have been fab so far.
It's possible to do it yourself and that's fine if you've got a straightforward case, but if you don't feel too confident then use an agent. They are worth the money if you get that visa.

Hi moondust

I am in the process of applying for my skills assessment for nursing to the ANMC. The decision to do it yourself or use an agent its a tough one, general rule of them is have a go yourself if its staight forward. mine is.

Its not too bad but if you have a complicated case use an agent Ian harrrops

If your going the skilled route and managed to pass a trade then you can answer questions all about your self !
Time consuming yes worth it .... YES
