tracerr Posted August 14, 2009 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 to use a agent or not?that is the question Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michele R Posted August 14, 2009 Report Share Posted August 14, 2009 It all depends,My personal view is, if your application is straight forward, then you can easily do it yourself. If you get stuck, you can always ask someone on the forum for advice and it saves you plenty of money in the long run. All the documents and check lists you need is on the immigration website:Immi Website There are people who have some difficulties such as age and they have made use of agents, some who are wonderful and very helpful.If you decide to use an agent in the end, please just make sure you use one that's MARA registered. You can view registered agents on their website:Mara Registered AgentsAll the best with your decision! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
