There is loads of agents about. Only thing is make sure they are MARA registered and you should be fine.

You still have to fill in your own forms though, they just check them to make sure they are right

Good advice - make sure the agent (and not the agency) is registered with MARA and MIA. The level of service that you get from the various agents will differ and the price will probably reflect this. Some agents simply send you out a pack, with all the forms to fill in yourself. Other agents will complete all the forms for you. If you are not wanting to take on the process yourself, then be sure to choose an agent who will do it all - certify your documents, complete your forms, be there on the end of the phone to answer all your questions, etc. Determine what level of service you are wanting and talk to the agent about it. (And also determine if there is a fee guarantee of some kind - it makes you more confident that you are getting the right advice.)
Visa-Go have a very good reputation, as does Ian Harrop. Good luck.

We used Overseas Emigration Ltd (OE) in Glasgow, we've found them to be excellent. They weren't the cheapest we found but we felt they gave us the best information in the early days. They also offered good spread payment terms.

They filled in all the forms for us, checked our stat decs, suggested the contents of my work reference, certified all our docs and emailed us back promptly with our never ending questions. They couldn't have been more helpful.

Alright there, We had our first meeting in august with a consultant from a company called FOUR CORNERS IMMIGRATION which we feel are a very professional company. They have have answered every question we have asked and have already sent out our TRA.

Good luck Craig and Tara. :D

Yep definately make sure they are MARA registered. We used(are using) Overseas emmigration and thye have been v. good. They even completed all the forms for us. They just sent us a questionaire asked us to sign the form and enter out credit card details and they transferred all our info to the form. I don't think they are the cheapest out there but they have done a great job so far.

Just started with Go Matilda.Everything is done by the book, with no corners cut. Very professional and honest.Pay in stages. Spoke to a few migration agents, some seemed willing to promise anything just to get your money.Take care.

We are also using OE Ltd Edinburgh. Very professional organisation and very quick to get back to you with answers, advice etc. My TRA was sent away last Tuesday and I received a call from OE advising me that someone from their visa application team will be in touch with me next week. They also have a very good success rate and will not waste their time nor yours if they don't think you'll get the visa.
