I've been looking at different consultants and their fees and services they provide and I want to be confident I'm getting a good service and value for money. Could anyone recommend good ones or suggest ones to stay away from?? Comments or experiences would be appreciated...
Hi Glen
I went with ASA and so far so good. Really helpful and I dont think we could of done it without them.
It has cost us 6650.00 Aus dollars. Think this is around the going rate?

Hi Glenn, we are using Go Matilda, who have been great so far, they have offices in Southampton and in Oz, they always answer questions very quickly by return e-mail. Their fees are reasonable compared to what some other people have quoted on this site. They have been very helpful from start to finish, not that we have finished yet (I wished) our application was rec'd in OZ on the 30th August, and still waiting at the moment, but we only started the whole process back in May, so in that time we have passed TRA's and application in before all the changes happened, all with the help from Go Matilda.
Good luck with yours

We're using Visa Bureau and have found them helpful and happy to answer any and all queries no matter how trivial. I'd already done my skills assessment so I only needed help in actually compiling the visa application and all the back up paperwork.
I based my choice on good comments on here - but to be honest it was a toss up between Go Matilda or Visa Bureau!
