We get people who use us 2nd time round, they do not get told why they did not get a visa in the first instance.
So, please when giving advice becareful that some peoples circumstances and the visa that they should be applying for may be very different to yours.
We get alot of people telling us they had bad advice and this costs people money!

I guess that would be me so !
i do agree with you Michelle that you have to make sure you have all the correct information before sending off for your visa as i said in my post if your application is fairly straight forward then you would be fine applying your self.
I think as soon as you read through your visa form you know if its going to be difficult or not as well and isn't it great that we have sites like this were we can get information from fellow expats going through the same thing and ask a question and get the answer i do think you do need to be aware that sometimes you do get the wrong answer so ild always double check before i put pen to paper as it were. I think the majority of people on here get the right information for free
that helps them in the visa process but its good to be careful and make sure you do it right.
I think if it needs be then registered Migration agents are infallible and can really help people who need it and for peace of mind. but if you are like me and have spoken to an agent and know that our application is going to be straight forward then its great that we can bring over the money with us instead
