Re: Migration Agents
We are also in the process of choosing an agent and so far have a huge list to pick from!
Would it be cheeky to ask how much people are paying their agent?
As far as i can see there is quite a big difference between the cheapest and the most expensive.
Does it follow that you 'get what you pay for'?

Click on Fees and you can see
You pay in 3 stages so not all at once...

My advice is ring round a few and see which one you feel most comfortable talking to!!

We too used theemigrationgroup ( T.E.G.)based in Manchester. At the time they had 2 types of service- a checking service which is what we did- u fill in the forms and send them to T.E.G they check all info. thoroughly and give you very informative advice to help- apart from finding hubbies college qualifications and chasing up references it was quite straight forward. other service was the full blown all in deal( significantly dearer).
Hope this helps and good luck

Actually concept australia are on my list to talk to in person. I liked the fact that they have the fees listed on the web site - most agents seem to want to hide them!
The only problem i have is that their web site is rather ... how can i put this nicely ..... 'pants'!
Now i know that their ability to get us our visa has nothing to do with how flash their web site is but it is a but off putting!Hmmm ... maybe i should suggest an exchange of expertise and get them to sort our visa application and i'll get Graz to sort their web site!!!

Hi Wezzies
Thanks for the reply
I think a checking service is definitely worth considering.
I can't find the migration group when i do a google search - do you have their web address?

Re: Migration Agents
hi Tiggs
The Emigration Group website should be:
www.emigration.uk.com
email: [email protected]
this should be correct, i've taken it directly from letterhead.
once again good luck and i'm not saying it is easy- lots of research but can be done. we have completed meds. etc should've found out about visa feb.06 but due to medical probs. need further info which is where we are at at moment- DIMIA have given us extention to reply- all reports to be back in oz by April 6th :scared:

Re: Migration Agents
Cards on the table, I am a migration agent.
I did our own migration in 2000, when i left the police and had retrained as a solicitor. I have just set up a new business and the website should be up and running today. all i can promise you is that I know what it is like and will try and make it as hassle free as possible for you.
Have a look at my website. the free assesment wont cost you a penny.
Best of luck
