And who would they be then?

Of course it's their (marketing) word. They do claim 99.98% success rate overall though.

Check your karma.

Thanks for the K. I now have a reputation beyond repute!

Yes it's them. I suppose we could ask them to prove it, but there's no point really.

If others failed on skills assessment, I'd be very surpirised because they made sure ours was up to a high passing standard before submitting it, which it was. So I would recommend them. Skills assessment was the main reason we used them as apposed other agents.

As for the small % that didn't get visa's I can't say. there could be a million reasons.

I could make your hair curl. And not in a good way.

I don't have any (much) hair.

But as long as my visa arrives, the circle will be complete.

Because people are lazy and cant be bothered, or have more money than sence, and think by paying a agent they will get in faster.. Rubbish.....

Basically, so long as you're happy with the service that's the main thing.

escuse me juddy :mr know all: im not lazy, would fill in forms my self no problem. i dont have loads of money, i need an agent because my circumstances are not straight forward, so open your mind up abit, there is always 2 sides to a story

Totally agree, some people need a agent, to get here, but i was speaking on a general note, and from my experiance of talking to Uk people, who just paid a agent to get here, because they had be brain washed/told that was the best thing to do. And i was not pointing you out as lazy, but alot of people are. So I apologies to the 10% of the Uk people who are not lazy.

ok i misread you, by the way i am irish, happy christmas

Irish, ah then thats alot better the English....

We started off with the agent you are talking about and should have known better when the 'specialist IT' consultant assigned to us didn't know the difference between a main frame and a pc. They misadvised us on the ACS and we were successful applying for the cat B which they said we didn't qualify for. They also misadvised us on the Sept 08 visa changes and tried to make us apply for the bond instead of the IELTS for 10 additional points - which would have been a disaster as the bond avenue was locked for months due to shock changes in the system.

I have to say BE saved us from all these pitfalls and it was with the help and advice of the good people of BE that we avoided visa disaster NOT the agent.

This same agent then tried to blackmail us into signing a stat dec waiving our rights to legal redress... MARA put them straight on that one.

After we sacked this agent we did the rest of the application ourselves and it was straight forward if stressful not having someone to ask if you have done the correct thing. So I can understand why people use an agent, (a good one!)

hi fly away what agent are you talking about

If your case was straight forward you're an idiot. You still have to do the donkey work in colating everything for them, and there are still forms that need completing.

Not an idiot. She's just lazy.
