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....

Hiya
I think the agents who regually get good feedback on here are
Go Matilda
Visa Bureau
Cheryl Bird & ass

i dont think you would go wrong with any of them ,good luck with everything it sure is a stressful process,,

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?
