Migration Agents ?

nett+dick · 18-02-2008, 01:08 AM

Hi to everyone, we are new to the site and were hoping that someone may be able to advise us about agents that will assist us with our visa application.
We have spoken to someone at the visa bureau and he has advised us it will cost about £3500 for the whole process.
What we are wondering is should we shop around for an agent, are there huge differences between agents regarding price or quality of service?
Has anyone had experiences good or bad that they could give us the benefit of their experience?
Any advice and guidance would be appreciated, thanks in advance,

Annette+ Dick.

Hiya welcome to PIO :)

I am the same as yourselves - just made my mind up for sure and its all a bit daunting! Anyway from what I can gather most people shop around for agents. Go Matilda come highly recommended on this site and i will be speaking to them this week. Dont just go with your first one - even tho gm will be mine but if u dont get a good feeling from the one u spoke to its like everything else SHOP AROUND

Hope this helps x

Hi,

We used ASA Migration and can't recommend them enough, think there price was a little cheaper than what you have quoted. Every step of the way they provided us with great advice particularly in the first stages for the skills assessment, where the information you provide has to be really specific. You can have a free online assessment and they will tell you what you can apply for.

Good Luck

Liz

Hi Liz, thanks for taking the time to reply, we are checking into it at the mo.

Is it everything you dreamed it would be ?
If you have any advice at all on anything to do with migrating to oz or life in oz.....do's and dont's being as you've been through it all, it would be greatly appreciated.
