However the agent is working for the employer, not for you. If they're a good agent, they wont mislead you, but they might not disclose all the downsides or risks because it's not their job to warn you of those -- you're not the client.

Very true but we were offered a very generous relocation package. The days of everything getting paid for are pretty much over now, my wife's company now cap relocation at $10k which if you're moving a family across doesn't cover much.

That's not really true as each would be a client in their own right. There would need to be a contract between the Agent and the employer and the Agent and the visa applicant. In these cases I make it very clear to each party that they are each a client in their own right and I cannot disclose confidential information from either party to the other. I work in the interest of both parties to obtain a successful outcome. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The employer's agent is working for the employer. They're not going to mislead you but they're not under any obligation to tell you anything.
