chippie is an unknown quantity at this point
Default Will I ever get there?

I'm a chippie, and I really want to move to Oz. We are 5 points short to get through skills route, and have been advised to go through STNI.
Can anyone recommend a good agent for STNI? We have had 2 conflicting stories from 2 agents. One saying we would have a good chance, and the other saying going STNI is a bit of a lottery, and only a 5% chance of succeding. Is any one in the same position and trade?
Please reply

Hi Phil,

Do a search for 'agents' loads of discussion on it also have a look at www.gomatilda.com and www.austimmigration.com always get good feedback on them and they post really helpful stuff on the immigration forum too.

Good Luck

chippie.

i have been knocked back by quite a few agents, I started the process from scratch in Oct 03 and went for an STNI visa as a carpenter/joiner. I am now in possession of my permanent residency visa. I have also sent you a pm.

You could always lodge the 100K bond to get the extra 5 points.

We are using www.austimmigration.com.au

George is a straight forward guy who is fair and honest.

Alan at www.gomatilda.com.au has the same reputation. Give one of them a try.
