Default Agents

Hi

Can anyone recommend a good Agent please? Having decided to take the plunge we are now looking for a reputable agent that can help us get our visa asap

p.s. is it best to get one near to us or doesn't it matter really?

Squillions of threads on agents, I recommend using the search to see a wide sample of personal accounts. You don't need to be located near your agent, you would probably only visit them the once if at all even if they were near you.

Having said that, if I remember correctly, you were thinking about it back in March and your case was pretty straightforward? Seriously, I would think about doing it yourself to save a couple of £k. Migration agents are great for advice and dealing with complications, but I doubt they will get you a visa any quicker in a straightforward case like yours.

i can only speak for myself, but if its any use we used an agent just to double check, paperwork guide me through skill assesment etc. He works on a no visa no fee, charged under a grand there are some who charge treble that and do the same. You can do it yourself but we just thought for the money, didnt want any mistakes as it is along enough wait without having delays with paperwork.
destination oz is the guy his name is Mick

Think I've replied to you on another thread but can thoughly recommend Sort out my visa .cpm (www.sortoutmyvisa.com) Lauren deals with Australia, really really helpful friendly, professional and very knowledgeable. We've been dealing with them since Sept last year and are totally happy with them. If you do use them please tell Lauren that Jayne and Luke Foulger recomended them as they do like to know where recomendations come from.
