clan mac Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi all which migration agents have you guys used? Can anyone recommend a decent and registered agent as there would seem to be an abundance of people touting their services. It costs a lot of money to initiate this process and I am reluctant to lose money getting dud advice. I appreciate that you may be loathe to commit to recommending anyone, so would anyone be prepared to tell me who they've used and how the service has been?? We are so keen to get the ball rolling but there's such a lot to take in, I feel like a rabbit caught in the headlights - HELP!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

terry & Melanie Posted January 16, 2010 Share Posted January 16, 2010 Hi, We did ours on our own but 'GoMatilda' seem to be highly recommended on here, Alan Collett is the managing director and a member on PIO. Most of the reputable agents will give you a free initial consultation to help you decide which visa is best for you and the costs involved.

calNgary Posted January 17, 2010 Share Posted January 17, 2010 We used Visa Bureau and were very impressed with their service,, as Westely mentioned above though, all the agents who help out on this forum are good agents who will not rip you off. Ring a few and see who you feel best using. Good Luck with everything it sure is a stressful process applying for a visa Cal x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clan mac Posted January 17, 2010 Author Share Posted January 17, 2010 thanks for all who took the time to reply, I have tried a couple of the online free assessments one said would qualify for 475 visa maybe and another said no go! Arghhh I feel totally scunnered and I'm only just trying to begin the process! My hubby was made redundant last April and although he has stayed within the same industry he has been forced to take on a reduced role as there are no jobs for his profession. I don't know if this is likely to affect our chances or if they will take a more balanced view and look at his work experience over a longer period of time. I have e-mailed a couple of the agents suggested and am hopeful that someone will reply with a glimmer of good news! keep your fingers crossed for us please. grateful thnaks clan mac x Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
