My case may not be completely straight forwards so I'm thinking because of that it's going to be worth paying the extra for that reassurance if nothing else. (Can you imagine I miss something off a form and we get declined - that would be a long time in the dog house!!)

Good luck whatever way you go. Your sleepless nights do subside in the long, long wait that then follows. It feels like the calm after the storm. Sure it will all start up again when you get the ok though

I have filled out all the immigration forms and forwarded them but am just in the process of applying to the ACS to get my points assessed so fingers crossed.

We are using a lawyer in Sydney who is charging us $3000 which is cheaper than £3000 and comes recommended by a friend of mine who used to live out there.
