Hi Marcus,
I would highly recommend Ian Harrop Associates www.ianharrop.co.uk
Also Darrell Todd from Thinking Australia www.thinkingaustralia.com
Both are very well respected Migration agents and based in the U.K
All the best with it all
Tony

I think that's a lot - too much actually.
Some agents charge £1800 for the whole professional service (excluding Medical, PC's and Government assessment fees of course). I'd be getting a few more quotes if I were you. Check out what level of service you'd be getting for your Agents fee as well - ie certification of documents, form completion, etc, etc.
Try Ian Harrop and Visa-Go. Both Australian registered agents with good reputations and based in the UK.

Re: emigration agents
We looked at them all, and found Global Visas the best.
They have been superstars

Re: emigration agents
We are using Go Matilda. We have only just started out with the application but are very happy with them so far. They have answered all our queries quickly.

Re: emigration agents
We are currently using Overseas Emigration and they have been excellent a Little pricey but they have done all the donkey work.
We have just found recently out we have passed the TRA stage.

Re: emigration agents
We had our visa through today. Started process in January and got our visa application acknowledged 9th March. We used George Lombard and I think he truly is amazing. Go for it!
Also don't worry that they are in Oz, caused no prob at all. Answers emails really quickly, calls you when needs to. I can't rave about them enough they were absolutely fantastic and helped us out with a medical issue that wasn't even for them to do. He is wicked!!

From one brummy to another........Have to agree that Ian Harrop are the ones to use.....we approached George Lombard.....waited for a reply......only to be told they were too busy to take our case.......and ours is a simple citizenship by desent one......
PLUS they are based in Oxford.....about 60 miles from B'ham......
