      migration agents

      Hi all,

      Can anyone recommend a good Migration agent here in the UK. Have received some information on some but you cannot beat a positive recomendation from someone that has been there and done it.
      Can you also give us an idea of the costs that they cjarge. So far they range from £1800 - £2100. Cost is not the main issue but good service can not be beat.

      Thanks all

      fess as folows

      skills assesment £260 +VAT
      skilled independent visa app £650 +VAT

      total £910 +VAT

      you also have to pay

      Skills assesment fee $350 (may be different for you)
      Department of immigration $1990

      their are also fees for medicals an police check.

      I think the police check is about £10 per pearson

      Hi, we used Global Visas, my OH did the online points test & not long after he received a phone call to say they could definitely get us into South Australia. We paid £1500 for their services but it was VAT free as we live in Guernsey, the other costs involved, as in message above, are pretty much standard.

      They were really helpful, we were assigned a migration expert who we dealt with through the whole process, very efficient & no hassles. :D :D

      We fly out 4 weeks today!!! :lol: 8)

      Hi, we recieved our visa 2 weeks ago. We used the Visa Bureau. They were always on hand with any problems or concerns we had. Not the cheapest at around 2000, but worth every penny.

      We also used Global Visas and they were great, really helpful. Sorry, not sure of costs (I don't worry my pretty little head about money...) but think it was a couple of grand all told. We got our visas last week so they must be pretty good!

      Hi ianb :)

      we are using go matilda and must say contrary to popular belief we would not recommend them, although it seems that its all down to your consultant. I'd guesstimate that ours has 'cost' us about 6 months, due to mistakes and delays.
      The Australian side of things was/is OK, but our side has been disappointing.

      You pays your money etc. etc. - we really should have been there by now, but thats the way the cookie drops into your tea... :lol: :lol:
      good luck with it all anyway! stick at it n yal soon b there.

      P n J
