A PM will do.
The minute you post it, you will either be banned or the thread deleted, both I suspect.
I do wonder if DIMA read BE, I imagined them to be busy people, too busy to be trawling the internet to read the ramblings of a desperate potential migrant.
I may be wrong.
They may log on to read my smutty stories or to read about Rooksies tales, you never know

Registered agents have been told this in the past - and have posted about it. Its not a question of looking at "ramblings" - though I can imagine they have had a few laughs at the stories, like all of us, its more a question of professional interest in a site discussing their work, and their decisions.
On a personal level, as an example, I have read people's comments on the site regarding UK police checks, and have passed on praise, criticism and general comment. I imagine DIMA staff would do the same - as would many posters in the same position.

Well if they read my stories I can stand tall, because the DIMA characters in my tales are all good looking.
Just you check back and you will see
Talking of stories, Im due to write another one.

Claire@Richard I agree with you !!
Better post now before it disappears!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Its ironic really that the information in dispute was readily available and easy to access on other websites if you knew where to look and it did offer us some hope and humour through light relief on here.
It is even more ironic that DIMIA plan to soon have their own processing table on their website as a result of it anyway.
Thanks Tony you are a star, we miss you but understand why you stay away.
All The Best

I also hope that Tony will come back, would save me the time answering what I can while Jeremy is intermittent in his support.
I think that Tony is going through re-registration as a migration agent and that involves a considerable amount of work as well as signing the pledge on the MARA code of conduct with respect to professional indemnity insurance, maintaining compulsory professional development, maintaining appropriate professional relations between agents etc, etc. While not a registered agent he certainly had the freedom to skate around a lot of those issues including the re-registration cost, the downside is that as a registered agent one has to be circumspect about the amount of advice you can give without adequate information on client circumstances.
And of course Tony spent a lot of time here, more than any commercial agent could ever justify. So I think the whole experience proves that if DIMIA were to put a duty case officer online to answer enquiries, then many people would benefit. But unless someone is prepared to fund such a position then market forces rule, and obviously Tony can command a reasonable salary for the advice he can give, given his skill level.
So I've asked him to be in contact when his registration is organised. But if he wants to earn a quid he wouldn't be able to devote the same amount of time to this forum.
