Also, fingers crossed the next couple of days!!!! :cool:

Thats brilliant. Yes that put prices into perspective slightly, I know you haven't gone through the agents route, but would you recommend me do anything before going through agents???? I.e. - family medicals. Skills assessment, IELTS test, or do you think the assessments will be included in an agents fee, they just become a middle man as such?????..... would it be easier to get these things done ASAP, so there done and it ticks something off the list???... thanks

Thank you all of you for replying, really grateful for it, I have just looked at your signature shellyk666, so your applying for the same one I'm interested in. Just out of curiosity if you don't mind. How many family members are you taking???? How much has it cost you, with out an agent???....so, so far your have been 6months into your whole visa appeal??? Have you had many complications??? And also 6months in, and at the medical stage. How long left do you think you have??? Thank you.... :-)

Hello everyone, my names Nadim and I have just joined!! :-) would just like to talk about my situation so people know where I stand and then any advice would be highly appreciated!!!!... im 26 years old, with also a wife who's 26, 2 boys who are 5 and 2.... All born and raised in the uk!!...I'm a motor mechanic, so I know I have a trade and done some research saying that it's on the 'skilled register'... i have aves been employed by the same company for the last 8 years and 2months and am very hard working with a lot of experience and qualifications papers... my wife who obviously stays at home with the young lad who's 2 and the eldest 5 is at school, my wife used to work before we had kids.... i have no convictions, or medical issues...nor does the rest of the family.... i have £20,000 or $40,000ish Australian dollars in the bank.... right.....that's just the basic profile of myself, now the situation!!!!... my my sister who lives in cairns Queensland Australia has given me and my family the opportunity to go Australia, she's been saying it's the best thing she ever did, her and her husband have a 5 bedroom house in Au, and have basically said to me, come out here, accommodation won't cost you a penny, as you can all live with us for however long!!!!.....I have my trade behind me etc!!!!.... I don't have to go down the 'skilled sponsor migration' route, and have done some research into paying the money, and going for the 'skilled independent migration' route!!!!!....has anyone done this??? If so how hard was it to do this?? How complicated with a wife and kids?? I'm abit lost as such as I'm just looking into it, but 100% committed to making this big change for me and my family!!!....how much total roughly if I do it through a agent?? I'm thinking in a way paying the extra money so it's done correctly, and possibly more promptly??? Any light shed on this post or subject would be fully grateful and appreciated of your time to reply!!!... thank you Nadim.... :-)
