Hi, I've been advised to join this site from poms in Adelaide as there seems to be good advise on migration agents here.
my family (me 36, husband Paul 42, and 2 girls 8&6) are looking to move to Adelaide area. Paul is trying to get a skilled visa as a painter/decorator either 189 or 489 if doesn't get enough points on the ielts.
My my main question is, we spoke to 2 agents last night, 1st visa bureau who sent an email with all costs etc, basically worked out to around £12500 for visa/ their cost/ielts etc. I think basically everything except removals fees. They also advised he would have to do an aqf level 3 as he doesn't have qualifications. This would cost around £1800 but I think he can arrange that himself as works out around £1600 then.
Then he spoke to visa migrate, they still haven't sent an email with breakdown of costs etc but she said it would be £7500. This is a big difference that worries me slightly! she said he would need a TRA diploma which was £1000, again big difference and would this qualification be good enough?
I think visa bureau work out £2800 fees and visa migrate around £2000 but she couldn't confirm exactly. Also with visa bureau if they didn't think it would work out, they refund the deposit as they are MARA registered. Not sure about the others.
So basically I'm looking for advise on a good agent, and what to do next? Paul is planning a trip up stay with friends out there to be sure of area and if we will be ok out there, should that be our 1st move or the ielts test or something else? Sorry for all the questions but seems there is a lot of conflicting advise!:wacko:
Hi Mazza227,
Try speaking with Go Matilda as well. I've been guided by them and they've been very professional & helpful.

Greetings 189ers
Submitted our Meds & PCCs a couple of days ago... any recent grant for the April gang? Normally how long does it take after submission of Meds & PCCs?

Just curious.. Did you actually fill out 2 separate EOIs? one for 189 and another for 190?
I'm not so sure about that. My agent did it for me...

I know my reply is a bit too late, but if I were you, I would just keep all my documents ready and scanned; and I wud wait for my 189. If i dont get it, I wud upload them on the same night itself..
Anyway, did u get your 189 ITA?
Hi piyuyawa,
Yes I got 189 ITA day before yesterday. So just preparing to lodge at the moment

Hello group members,
I need a word of advise with my case. I submitted my EOI on 15th March for both 189 & 190 Visas. Today I received an invitation from Queensland for State Nomination. For this, the documents/information has to be submitted by 1st of April. On the other hand, the next round of invites for 189 is on 24th March. If I wait to see the results till 24th that whether I get an invitation or not for 189, it will not give me sufficient time to prepare & submit the Queensland application.
Can anyone advise, what should I be doing at this point?

Ali

I'm using Go Matilda with my 189 visa application. Starting from my assessment with EA until lodging the application and with follow ups with my CO, they've been very thorough and helpful.
