Question Agent or no Agent?

Hi!

I'm looking for advice as to whether or not an agent is really needed for a Skilled Workers visa.

I would love to hear from anyone who has been processed and did it themselves. Was it fairly straight forward? Would you recommend doing it yourself or would you say it was pretty complicated and you'd recommend an agent?

Thanks!

Hi there,

This subject has come up on a number of occasions. Why not do a search on the forum and see what you come up with.

We used an agent because we needed to get it right first time due to time constraints, and I doubt whether we'd be here now without our agents help. The hardest part of the process is passing the skills assessment, the actual main application is straightforward. Some people have an agents help with the first part and then do the 2nd bit themselves.

Dolly
