We are using Go Matilda although we haven't even got the first set of forms in yet. That's our fault not theirs, we are just sooo busy. However hubby was made redundant yesterday so we've got a few more quids in the pocket and a lot more time to get the house finished (our major source of funding) and sold. Hubby is in IT and planning on going contracting for a while, until we get the go ahead.

cheers

We used Alan Collett at Go Matilda, top rate job. Got our visas 5 months after application, would have been sooner but a letter that DIMIA posted got lost in the Aussie mail system.

Highly recommended

Phil.

Crikey!!! That was quick.Did you have to get your trade recognised first by the Tra or did you have a job lined up? We have been told it can take up to 15 months I suppose it depends on your situation and a bit of luck I reckon. Dreamaway Gaynor

We used ian harrop & associates - in burford. Excellent job - very quick to reply to emails & phone calls - not that we needed to query much - brilliant job done - main application in 10/3/04 - visa recd 6/6/04 - not bad eh - considering that we are not nurses!!!

cheers

I used Ian Harrop & Associates, more specifically a dude by the name of Zeno Bolzicco.

Zeno is a top man, spent most of the time on the phone to him shooting the breeze about footy, cricket and other bloke stuff. He was extremely professional as well and secured my visa no probs.

Hey Pocky, that is some going....................

Considering we arent even in march 04 yet and you have applied for your visa and been granted it in June 04.

A date mistake me thinks

Like Boomie, we are also using AMA Ltd. They have been brilliant and we can't fault them.

TRA first, that bit took five months on its own. Now we have our visas, the bloody house is taking its time to sell. Theres nothing like having a viewing booked and the people dont show up

We used concept Australia and no complaints !!! We got our spouse visa in 10 days and they were always available on the phone .
They had a few staffing problems that were frustrating but have been sorted out and were very efficient after that.
