Hi. My OH is a Solid plasterer and it took us about 10 months to get our Visa's. We applied on the 136 skilled worker visa ( think its called a 175 now). We used Global Visas (US Visas, Australia Immigration, Canada, Visa UK, Work Permit UK, Immigration Services) they were excellent, very helpful and efficient. Their fees were about £1800 which we paid over 6 months. Would highly recommend them. Good luck with everything, its an emotional rollercoaster but worth it.... six weeks today and we'll be heading for the airport....

Hi we used Global Visas, very pleased with them, always replied quickly with any probs we had.
our visa was 136 skilled independant (now 175 i think) oh a carpet fitter.
at mo just waiting for the visa hopefully!
Was the £1,800 for each person or the whole family? when you start looking at the costs involved with agencies and the actual visa it all gets a bit pricey! what did the fee include as i know some set up an australian bank account for you, give you a SIM card, tax number etc.
We are also applying for skilled visas - how much did these cost you?
