UK / AUS agent ?
Hi guys
I am unsure if i should use an agent here in the UK or one in Australia to process my skilled visa application. I am worried about the time difference , keeping in touch etc. Your opinons would be appreciated.

Re: UK / AUS agent ?
Hi there
I used an Agent in Australia and was glad of it! They were able to get messgaed from DIMIA up a week earlier than if the letters had bee sent to a UK Agent. It was great posting questions before bed, then waking up to the answer as well.
If you are thinking of using an Aus Agent I 150% recommedn you check out ASA
www.australia-migration.com
They were superb. PM me if you want more details - but it is worth doing a free online assesment, if only to satisfy your curiosity.
Good luck

If we'd have found this site before we paid our agent we wouldn't have bothered!

Hi,
I agree with SS, having an Aussie agent definitely pays off. Our visa was granted 14th March (Aussie time) and we knew when we got up 14th March our time.
If you are still looking I can really recommend
http://www.arriveaustralia.com.au
Toni and her team were fantastic and got us through heaps of probs.
