VJ2019 Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hi everyone, my English partner is applying for a 189 visa as a Social Worker (I’m Australian). He spoke with Alex from Let’s Go Global who said since we have done a lot of the groundwork his role will mostly be advisory and therefore he will charge £900, which seemed great. I am however concerned they are not legit as their website states this about MARA: ''Lets Go Global MARA The definitive answer. We adhere to the principles of MARA and retain MARA agents to work your case alongside your Dedicated Account Manager. You will be introduced directly to your MARA agent during the client onboarding process, and in certain circumstances as part of the Visa Assessment process.'' Therefore, our guy does not sound like he is MARA registered! Also, because all their reviews are on trust pilot or on their own website, where it seems Other agents have Google or Facebook reviews. Does anyone know about this agency and could advise? Also is £900 too good to be true or is this reasonable? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our original migration agents company is now dissolved but we are still waiting for our visa. Luckily we paid the fee by credit card so were able to get it back. Have a chat with the agents that post on this blog and see what their fee will be. What's the saying if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is.

Guest The Pom Queen Posted July 20, 2018 Share Posted July 20, 2018 Hi @VJ2019 I think @Cerberus1 link says everything. If you are looking for a registered reputable agent and one who has never received any negative publicity in all the years they have been a member on this forum then try @Raul Senise or @wrussell Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank goodness you got your money back @Judy . The process is stressful enough without a dodgy agent adding to it. I hope your visa isn’t too far away Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
