Hi

Do you really need one/ Do you have a complicated application. We put our in ourselves. it does take chasing but to be honest you still need to chase the certified documents for the agents anyway. we were acknowledged in Nov 02 and were accepted last week for skilled independent. from what I hear we saved ourselves up to 4k. I would request all the info you can get, spend lots of valuable hours reading it and then if it seems straight forward go for it! Good Luck

Thanks guys.

I have heard mixed oppinions but that gives me a good idea. I suppose its down to whether or not you want someone else to do the work for you - and how much your willing to pay. I have already been reccomended Alan Collett so i will check him out for fees etc.

Thanks again..

You could also get a quote from George Lombard at www.austimmigration.com.au. He also posts on here and gives advice. We've used him and found him very friendly and approachable. Because he's based in Aus his fees are cheaper too. We paid $2000 for his fees.

We used Ian Harrop in Burford - ian Harrop dealt himself - only a small office - but excellent - they really keep you informed & know exactly what is going on.

Would not hesitate to recommend them - also has offices elsewhere in the UK.

You will hear a lot of recommendations for Alan Collett at Go Matilda. I was referred to them by a user of this site and we got the visa with no hassle or delays.

They are reasonably priced as well.
