johnstanhope Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi guys, Looking for some recommendations for agents to help with our visa! My wife's job is on the skilled migrants list and would like to progress with our visa and other bits and bobs prior to the our application and need an agent as I believe in doing it properly. Cheers John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
calNgary Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 Hi we have many agents post on the forum in this section, so keep an eye on their signatures for contact details, we also have an 'ask an agent' section which some agents post in. Any of these agents will be able to help you like they have helped many of our members. Lots of luck with your application. Cal x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JetBlast Posted September 12, 2016 Share Posted September 12, 2016 It might be worth mentioning the occupation as well. Some agents are specialists in certain areas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeG Posted September 16, 2016 Share Posted September 16, 2016 I've been at this since Febuary this year. The process really goes as quick as the individual submits their documents etc but this is where you benefit from your agents advice Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's your job you submitted if you don't mind me asking ? Is it you on your own or family? What area are you planning to move to if successful?

I'm going as a carpenter. I'm married with 4 boys in the process with me and heading to Ormeau which is half way between the Gold Coast and Brisbane Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shargreaves Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 We used Kay at migrate abroad. Can't speak of her highly enough. She is brilliant. Ours was a complicated case n we've got our PR visas. Can't wait to sort out the move Sent from my SM-T310 using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sydneysider69 Posted September 17, 2016 Share Posted September 17, 2016 Hello John, We too are using Immigration2Oz and have found them to be very thorough thorughout the whole process. We are planning to go back to Australia as I have a classic case of 'ping pong pom' and it is my DH who is going through the wringer to get his skills assessed. We were previously in Australia on a 457 visa and all I had to worry about last time was booking our flights to Sydney and choosing schools, it all seemed very easy!! The whole process is quite complicated and we are still waiting for a skills assessment outcome and there are some days, when I wonder if we will ever be able to return to those big blue skies, as there is a phenomenal amount of paper work to sort through. Make sure that you have payslips, employment contracts, degree transcripts and any relevant certificates to hand as they will no doubt be needed at some point in the near future before your wife has her skills assessed. I would also recommend the Pearson Academic test as opposed to the IELTS as the results come through in a matter of days and it is something your wife can be revising for in the interim. The question format appealed to my husband's sense of logic more and with scant revision, he did really well. The practice book also proved invaluable in the run up to the exam and as everyone going through the visa process knows, points make prizes. Fingers crossed for you and yours.
