Did my time with BA at LHR. You don't need an agent for the TRA but I would STRONGLY recommmend using one. We tried to do it ourselves, got all the certificates together, all the references, and then discovered that we did not directly fit into any of the pathways. It killed me going to an agent because we had gathered all the necessary info together i.e. done all the donkey work, but we didn't know how to structure the application. So he sat there & took the best part of £700 off us the week before Christmas just for giving us a template.
But I honestly believe if we didn't approach that agent we would have been rejected.
As for the visa itself, we didn't use an agent and it was a bit of bun!!
PM me and I'll let you know what I think the phrase "structure the application"
really means!!
Worked on Ryanair in PAM at Prestwick. O'leary's a chancing ****** isn't he?

I would highly recommend contacting Sherie at migratemates.com if you're looking for a reliable and reasonable agent. She helped us every step of the way with our TRA and visa application.

Well not sure about your type (b2), but to be honest very scarce.
One thing for sure you certainly cant be very picky. And one thing that no one tells you is you have to start from scratch again, at the bottom and work your way up.

I think everyone who does a TRA has to gather all their own info whether using an agent or not...I don't think you'd find many agents that would come round your house and sort through your filing cabinet to find the stuff ![ROFL](https://britishexpats.com/forum/images/smilies/rofl.gif)

Just an update on the job prospects for LAMEs.
Know some one that has been out of work for six weeks in Brisbane and still trying to get work.
Was told by some one that Qantas airways are going to lay off 1700 employers world wide, i think that's the amount they said.
