My Mum and I have made the decision to move to Oz so are in the midst of checking out our visa options at the moment. Mum is 51 and works in nursing so is in the process of registering with the Australian nursing council to get started. I have just turned 30 and work in legal admin. My Mum's brother lives over there so we have family to go to first until we get sorted.
We were going to sort forms and applications out ourselves but a few friends have recommended going through a migration agent to save us the hassle plus having the expertise of someone that knows what they're doing!
Can any of you recommend a good migration agent that we could use? Ideally one that would still be there for us for support when we eventually get out there?
I'd really appreciate any advice anyone could give.

Im using the excellent www.thinkingaustralia.com

We can highly recommend Myra Flomin at www.synch1.com without whom we wouldn't have got our visas (we would have thrown the towel in early doors ). They are based in Byron Bay so would be 'with you' so to speak when you get over there.

I can highly highly reccomend 4 corners in cheadle they are absolutley fantastic.

Our agent Cori was second to none and really did give personel service.

I really would reccomend you give them a call.

Our case was very complicated and they really did sail through the whole process.

Every time I called them worried probably 3 times a week i always recieved an e mail or phone call immediatly.

I have even had e mails from my agent 2 years on asking how we are doing in Perth.

Now thats service.

We have even told Cori our agent to visit us if she ever gets to Perth as she is thinking of heading over sometime next year.

Hi we are using AMA (Active Migration Australia), Doulene Steyn was recommended to us by a friend of OH who is already based in Perth.

Highly professional and very helpful and friendly.

Helping us through a sticky medical patch on our application at the moment - very supportive.

Hello Janine, my Name is Joachim and we work with Luise and Rolf Maier. It was a great job from Luise, very fast ( 7 months), a very friendly and personal athmosphere and also now after the visa grants we get much support. The homepage from L.L.Maier is:

There is also a form you could send for free and you get a first view about your chances.

Send me a mail if you have questions.

best wishes Joachim
