I posted on here back in July 06 about going with an agent or not. I was querying the cost for a family of 4. SIR Visa
We went with the Visa Bureau in the end and have been very happy with the service. We've had the skills assessment and the sponsorship from Adelaide (took longer than a month) with no problems fingers crossed I posted our completed stage 3 forms last Friday and our agent will have them checked and forwarded within 5 days so it shouldn't be long now :)
Our agent did find some problems on our forms which would have delayed the whole process but I suppose with abit more Quality Control we could have done it ourselves. Our choice was made on the benefits of having someone check our application at each stage, good advice on tricky questions and peace of mind.......................that money in the bank would be nice for the move though.
Either way I just wanted to let you know our experience of paying for an agent and Good Luck to you all.
