Another rubbish Immy Advisor bites the dust. Please be caareful out there
From this report HERE
Another Immy Advisor - I use the term loosely given the case - loses her license for shoddy, shonky practice.

Christine Yap, of the **************** operated by Oceania Development Group, claimed her fees were in line with industry standards while charging an hourly rate of $545 and using various devices to further inflate it to $587 an hour

I think some of them see it as a licence to print money. You have people who want a visa, they haven't a clue as to what is entailed and so trust the advisor to do the right thing. I am always shocked at how much they charge for visa applications-if I could I'd do it for a 1/4 of the cost and still have time to waste on here
When I was first looking at applying I assumed that a visa application was a difficult and problematic process where one wrong move spells disaster
. I then looked at what was involved-oh, some form filling and organising stuff in the right order. I can do that!

[QUOTE=Persephone;10808668] and still have time to waste on here/QUOTE]
Really ? Do people do that ? Waste time on the interweb ?
Especially discussion boards. I mean, really ? (Yes I'm joking, pulling your leg !)
BTW - does the emigration process give some people, 'analysis paralysis' ? They just switch off and assume they need an Immigration Advisor without even looking at what's required. Then doing it the Persephone way - like anyone else can, and a lot of people have.
