debbie2302 Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 hi just been reading messages what agent did u use we r trying t find one, did u use one that did everything 4 u. sorry to ask but how much did they cost. any help want to apply 4 visa's but not sure want to do it ourselves. thanks Hi Sharon We are also on Merseyside, live in Aintree, by the racecourse. We are using Visa-Go for our visa application, they have an office in Liverpool City Centre and its ideal if you need to pop any paperwork etc into the office, their main office is in Edinburgh, but you can always speak to the boss when you phone, they have been great so far. My OH is in IT and we could not have got through his ACS RPL application with them. Just to give you an idea of the costings, everything including visa, medicals, police checks, etc and the agents fees, we are looking at about £4000. If you want any more info, PM me and we can chat more. Good luck with your application. Debbie xxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest sharrondodd Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 hi thanks 4 replying to my message. we have had our first conversation with go matilda now, you said ur against time are they good for getting visa's quicker because we were originally told it would take 14-18mths. we don't want to wait that long. We haven't been given a quote yet, but we want full package thought it would go faster for us. is it expensive we were given quote of £1700 off another agency. any info greatly received.

Guest jondi Posted January 20, 2009 Share Posted January 20, 2009 Hi we are from Ormskirk. Strange to think about moving so far to potentially end up meeting with people so close to home!!! Obviously alot are thinking of doing it. As a pharmacy technician do you have to do exams or just have skills assess.? Im a physio so need to do exams before i can apply for visa so could be long wait.......Hubby plant operator in construction industry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest sexkit001 Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi... we are only at the start (not even looked at TRA)... as for the meet if everyone is up for it will ask everyones feelings, but bringing kids together for the first time might be nice for them to make friends and make them feel like they are adding to the process (just my views)... It seems at the mo there is a clear split on where us Merseysiders are from ie. your end Ormskirk down to Walton with Aintree in the middle. I am in Huyton so can get to anywhere really... Throw this open to everyone else now.. xxxx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Where is TA? sorry! Have a car. Where ae you all heading in oz? John and Diane Hi, Sorry I meant the TA Centre but not best if we bringing the kids... Like Debbie said the Rocking Horse is good as long as peeps can get to it as it has a wacky warehouse, just trying to think of other places... we are off to Perth.. I can always try and book Riversdale through work it is ideal but just its location (Aigburth/Mather ave way)... It is great for sitting down and meeting as it is a function room (with bar) and has a massive field for the kids to have a kick about plus a little park for the smaller ones (if we get the weather right)...
