Default Agents,agents, Bloody Agents !!!!!!!!

AGENTS, AGENTS , BLOODY AGENTS !!!!!

Why is it that just wen u think everything is going smoothly, you call your agents and WOW they have JUST recieved a letter from DIMIA asking for some more info. Is it just me or do they seem to give you more bull once youve paid them all of there fee.
Unaswered emails for days upon days !!
Not available when you call them!!
Then when they do answer you " we were just about to call you "
Regards

Hi all, Thanks for your replys, I take it some of you have had the same experience, sorry to hear that. Just wish we had done it ourselves instead of spending a small fortune on a agent, at least then if any paperwork goes missing or we need any info it would be up to us and we would'nt be :scared: putting our whole future into someone elses hands!!
Looking on the bright side, not much else can go wrong!
Best of luck to you all.

That's the problem with using agents - putting your future in someone else's hands. I couldn't do it!

Dont get me started on Oe visas
In saying that,its Dimia requesting more info not your agent he/she is merely passing the info onto you.
The frustrating part is,,,, you have to constantly phone Oe on the progress of your situation & be prepared to keep on phoning till you get that visa!

Goodluck!

Donna.

'Agent' is Greek for' unnecessary stage between recipient and vendor'

Well, no its not , but it should be. In every sector, be it estate agents, emigration agents, or job agents.

Ahhh, I might have made a few enemies with that statement, but, I can genuinely say, agents (be they job, estate or emigration) have only ever slowed things down for me, and sucked alot of money from me at the same time.

Not bitter at all of course

Cheers,
JTL
