Finding a migration agent
 
Hello.
I've just joined this forum as me and my partner are going to embark on the migration process next year. We have decided that we want to go with a skilled migration (136) visa, but would like some advice on migration agents and which ones anyone had used, who to avoid etc? Any help would be greatly appreciated.... or if there is another thread elsewhere that you could point me in the direction of I would be really grateful :)

Hi, Welcom to BE.
We didnt bother with an agent, we did it ourselves, it isnt that hard with the help of BE and www.immi.gov.au

If you do a search this has been covered significantly and you may pick up some other tips.

But we are using www.ianharrop.co.uk worth a ring.

Hi,
We used Go Matilda and they were brilliant. Very helpful, but there's tons of info on here also that you can use. Good luck with it.

I agree with the extra info he gives out.We have had a lot of 'other' info as our eldest is staying in the UK plus not always asked for, its just info we hadnt considered.

He also has a cracking turnaround on dealing with stuff too.

We used www.gomatilda.com who were absolutely fantastic.

Our case was not that straight forward but they got us thru no problem :)

Been here now for 7 months and loving it :beer:
