Migration Agent Questions
Hi, have just found your site and have a little question about Migration Agents.
I have appointed one & now paid their fee in full.
The problem I have is even simple questions that I ask them take 3 or 4 days for a reply. Often I have to ask the same question 2 or 3 times also. They also state on their website that your case will be handled by one agent throughout the whole process. To date we are on our 3rd person from the company. They helped us a lot with the TRA assessment, we have received an email from them to say that we have passed. When asked for the details to put on the Visa form they said they will do that for us. Does this seem a little odd? should they send me some details of the supposedly passed TRA?
Am I being impatient expecting a quicker reply? And am I worrying over nothing regarding the TRA? Any advice would be gratefully recieved.

Re: Migration Agent Questions
Hi there,
I am using an agent and she is fantastic, all emails are answered the same day. She keeps me up to date with everything, never feel that I am bothering her.
With regards to them saying they will keep the skills assesment with them, I think this is pretty normal and they can fill the info in on your form when you send it. If you really want a copy though, ask them to scan and email you a copy. Can't hurt and then your mind will be at rest.
Hope this helps!

Re: Migration Agent Questions
Thank you, I am probably worrying for nothing. Just keen to get things moving. Just seems replies are slower than before they had my money.
I guess a lot of these guys business come from referrals so it's in their interests to look after everyone. They were great with the TRA, maybe they are just very busy at the mo.
Thanks for the reply.
btw was amazed how quickly the TRA thing came back, think it was only about a week!

Re: Migration Agent Questions
Looks like you are in the same position as us, just getting together the final few bits & pieces for the 175.
