Hi sorry I know this has been asked before but please can I have some recent agent recommendations... it will be for a main applicant on 190 skillled visa copywriter (state sponsorship) application with partner and child... thanks!

Hi thanks for sharing your experiences with the tests this is really interesting! I am a native born english speaker and I took the IELTS test as I needed the max 20 points despite lots of practices I got marked down on the reading section which is annoying because I even studied English Literature! I don't think these tests are always a true reflection of someones ability, only how well you can jump through the hoops of the exam board and if you cope okay with the exam stress. I only got the 10 points overall due to that one reading section so I am going to retake and will now consider which exam body to use. I have only just heard of the PTE test so thanks for that. I found it hard to hear during some of the IELTS test as it was a large hall with a tape recording and you could hear the sounds from another exam next door. Well done for persevering with your tests and getting the result you wanted! I will now look into the PTE as sitting at a booth with headphones sounds better for me. Thanks and I hope your visa application is a success!

Thanks for your reply and I wish you all the very best with your application and well done for going for it. I am not the best with paperwork and form filling hence the reason I should probably go via an agent(!!!!), but there is always the worry then that you pay out all that money to the agent and still not get the visa approved! Good luck with yours

Would an agent be worth the money for a skilled 190 visa application? If so does anyone have any recent recommendations for agents? I will need to apply for ACT state sponsorship. Does the agent have to come from the same state as the one you are applying for nomination to? Thanks!

Has anyone else applied successfully under 190 visa for the job occupation of copywriter? Just wondering how much paperwork/evidence you had to supply. I am genuine with plenty of work experience but am terrible about keeping my paperwork in check and having worked freelance and for a number of different companies may have a lot of tracking down to get all the evidence together. Thanks for your help

Hi sorry confused over this, do I need to complete the IELTS test as a Native English speaker (UK/British Citizen) or will I automatically get points for this? If I do get points without the test how many do I get? Thanks x

Hi Rupert it was a phrase of mine what I meant is I am not a Doctor, Nurse, Teacher which are in higher demand. I understand the process of the State sponsorship that doesn't seem that hard but finding the exact detail of how many years experience you need in your job and how to prove it is what I think is difficult!

Thanks for your advice :biggrin: yes that's what I was kind of thinking about getting an agent as I don't want to mess it up and ruin my dream eeek

Hi can anyone recommend a visa migration company who will assist with visa applications? We are really struggling with visa application on our own. The problem is our work skills are not at the top of the most wanted list and state sponsorship tricky too. Have most people tried on their own first? If you apply for state sponsorship and get knocked back can you apply again? is it worth the money for a visa migration company, to ease the pain of the paperwork/possibly speed up the process? thanks for your advice, Cassie
