chanian 0 Posted February 17, 2019 Hi friends, Did anyone try to submit the EOI of Business Investor (Provisional) visa (Subclass 188) by own? No migration agency involved. Could you share your experience and steps? Thanks so much!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VERYSTORMY 3,320 Posted February 17, 2019 Given this is a very complex visa, it would be a foolish thing to do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I hope you are not in Australia because an offer like that sounds like it could well fall under the heading of "migration advice" rather than just forum info. And giving migration advice in that way, onshore, tototal strangers, is only legal if you are a registered agent. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its simple and documents checklist which ll be provided in the process is very well guided. Its waste of time and money. If you need any help from my side, you can contact me. Quite a funny post in my opinion. Your advice is not to use a Migration Agent who has formal qualifications, attends regular continuing professional development, has experience and is Registered to provide advice. You on the other had can provide the OP with advice and guidance as you have the massive experience of having lodged 1 application, which has not yet been finalised, so you do not even know if you did it right. Not to mention that it is illegal for you to provide such advice. On 23/02/2019 at 07:13, Indo said: Remember, this process will take minimum 14-15 months atleast. Be patient.

Yes time frame advice is given by allen collett and i experienced it too. We cant change the time frame. Sorry if you feel it was illegal. I edited the comment and wish everyone good luck for their future. Thanks Edited March 1, 2019 by Indo Maybe it was illegal to do so. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deepak20380 1 Posted April 8, 2019 Hello, My name is Deepak verma from Indai and I have lodged my application on 9th. Of march and submitted all the documents with the help of an Australian based MARA agent. This needs a lot of work and assessments. So, I personally think that a consultant is definitely necessary for this 188 A visa . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Do not underestimate the departments happiness to take your money and refuse a visa - no refund. The cost of an agent is a tiny drop in the ocean in most visas.
