have you used this agent
 

Hi, just been reading 216 pages of this forum, really great site, but worried now if we have chosen the right agent.:eek:

Has anyone used Visa-Go emigration ltd, which is the one we are using at mo, but are stuck on the tra millions of information needed letters.

Wished Id found this site earlier because this George Lombard guy seems to be the biz and would have definately had him instead.

Re: have you used this agent
 

We used the same company, based in the Edinburgh office, Darren Chatt is his name.
I can honestly say that they have been totally on the ball as far as our application is involved. dealt with all of our queries very quickly, and i can tell u we have had many!!
We are in the BN136 visa. we started this in January and are now just waiting on the visa's coming through. This process has been really quick up till now as we are now playing the waiting game :frown: :thumbdown:.
hope this help as all agents are different!!!
good luck with the application :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Re: have you used this agent
 

Thanks for that reassurance there, was getting a bit worried if we had got a wrongun. Hope all goes well for you.:thumbup:

Re: have you used this agent
 

We used Darren from Visa-Go for our application last year and here we are in Oz now:thumbsup::thumbsup:.

No need to worry, just supply as much info as poss and you'll be fine:thumbup:.

All the best:D

Re: have you used this agent

Re: have you used this agent
 

By now your mind is at ease, but just to say that we also used Darren Chatt and thought he was great. Very straight but knows what he is talkin about. We are now just sittin waitin to be told to go for medicals etc.
Good luck

Hi
We used Andre from 'My Australian Visa' and he was brilliant - got us through a couple of problems that would of fazed me straightaway. very reasonable rates too.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Anyone used Visa First? Thats who I'm going through. Just sent in my skills assessment last week and she's revewing it tomorrow.

Re: have you used this agent
 

hello knockoff nige from another irishman, hope the visa goes well. i decided against visafirst as they were not registered and i didnt go for all that advertising hype. good luck. i will keep looking out for your posts i dont post much but always pop my head in. P

Re: have you used this agent
 

We are using Darren from Visa-Go Edinburgh office, and as others say, he knows his stuff.

Yes, we would recomend him and his staff.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Hey Paedar thanks for that. I chose them because they advertise as 'never been unsuccessful'. I think I'm going to try them with this tra application first. Should that fail then if i decide to try again I'll be using someone else. If it goes through then I might just take care of the rest of it myself (to save a few quid).

Re: have you used this agent
 

Yep thanks Brendan my mind is well and truly at rest now:thumbup:

This is nothing to do with the tra but how do you guys get your little quotes at the end of your messages and the sentences saying tra sent in, tra accepted etc, Im just happy my messages are being sent let alone all that clever stuff!!! how do you do it:confused::blink:

Re: have you used this agent
 

go yo user profile, and add stuff to your signature

Re: have you used this agent
 

thats what i meant about advertising, how do you know they have never been unsuccessful. unregistered companies can say anything. anyway good luck.

Re: have you used this agent
 

If my tra fails, I'll be posting about it on here, and elsewhere, should they continue to advertise like that. But, be positive, it could all be above board.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Thanks tomy2tums done what you said and got me little message at end of me page.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Just off the phone with my agent. She said that my TRA application is looking good and should pass (ACS, Systems Manager). Fronm what I've read on here, everyone has been throwing letters, extended job descriptions and solictor signatures (and maybe even threatening letters lol) along with this application. The actual assessment form I filled in was basically about 4 words on each position I've held and my cv is attached. Each reference was descriptive but not as much as I feel others on here have had to do. The agency is Visa First. I'm more than a little concerned now.

Re: have you used this agent
 

We didnt do extended references and the like.

Some of our references were a page long describing company, duties done, wages etc we only had 2 not nearly as much as some have sent. We passed no problem

Sent an A4 page of a descriptive detail about hubbies job, the assessment form I sent in sounds a bit like yours, many people send in loads and still fail its quality not quantity that counts.

We sent CV to our agent (overseas emigration) worked from that, have to say what they have done so far has obviously worked, we have a CO

Have heard of visa first but I dont know of anyone that recommends them so cant help there i'm afraid.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Cheers Kaye. I'm just getting a bad feeling though. When the girl in the agency rang me to tell me she's received it and all is looking well, she asked which occupation I'm applying under. I understand that she's not a recruitment consultant or anything but I did expect her to know from my application.

Re: have you used this agent
 

knockoff nige. are you applying to tra or acs? they are different, i have a trade so i applied to tra, you apply to acs as you are in IT. also, you are paying the company to establish what is your occupation from the skills list and to guide you on the pieces of paper required. Ask the questions now before the acs application is lodged.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Knockoffnige

If your gut feeling is telling you its wrong possibly just go through the TRA with them if they have all ready done it and take it from there.

It could be that all she had in front of her was the code for your profession and not your job title, not defending her or anything I have this habit at looking at it from the other side it can get annoying :D

Re: have you used this agent
 

HI Nige
Im using visafirst, a pal of mine and his wife are in oz now and used them. Got a full refund guarantee with the visa and called in and met them so Im not worried

Re: have you used this agent
 

Ive just sent off AGAIN my hubbys tra and letters from his 3 last workplaces. The agent visa-go sent the 3 really nice letters from his last 3 employers back and said they wanted more pages of the letters stating all the tools he has used in the last 3 years and more info about the jobs he has undertaken, so, after listing approx 300 tools he uses (he is an overhead linesman) why he uses them and how he uses them, plus aprox 30 pages detailing what kind of jobs he undertakes and how he does them (could have done about 200 pages because he does different things every day.) Sent them back to agent (special delivery for 3rd time).., Wish now I had gone with the other agents if all they wanted was 4 lines about the job.:curse:

When we told the other 3 companies what the agent wanted they all basically said they havent the time or resources to get together all that information and get it processed. So me and hubby have spent the las 4 days, day and night getting it all together, typing it up and e-mailing the firms to ask if it was ok with them to send it all with their letters.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Hi Knockoff

cheers

Re: have you used this agent
 

My advice would be to not use this agent. Basically, I think they dont do customer service and seem to me to be well under qualified. It took me a while to complete the tra and didnt get as much as a follow up phone call to find out how I was doing. Everytime I called I had to refresh their memory about who I was. I'm simply not impressed with them.

Re: have you used this agent
 

Hi Folks, just stumbled across this thread. I am using visa-go and cant say enough about them. Doing a great job for me.:thumbsup:
