Anyone know a good immigration consultant?

Or similar?
I can't get an appointments to get my biometrics done until 10 April, which only leaves 7 weeks until I leave. I'm wondering if a consultant might be able to help speed up the process for a small fee

7 weeks is heaps of time!!!!

I sent my visa application off a week earlier i think and then had my biometrics done (which literally takes 3 minutes) and i dont think i had it done more than 7 weeks before departure?????

It states that they need to process your visa within 21 working days so i think you should be fine hun!

Processing time is 3 to 6 weeks, with a few people saying it's definitely taken 6? Just makes me a bit nervous is all...

You might want to give First Contact or Global Visas a call and ask them.

I just went into immigration and asked if there'd been ay cancellations, as it happened the person who was booked right then hadn't shown up so it was done right away.

I think I'll be fine... Especially when it's $580 to do it myself or about 1200 POUNDS to get 1st contact to do it.

I didn't get a list of supporting documents required though

you didnt????

So what did u send away with your application???

Are you going on a Highly Skilled visa or grandparent one??

I haven't sent my application. It's not sent until the biometrics are done?

I'm going on Highly Skilled.

Have you seen these guidence notes?

When I did it, there was a checklist at the end of the application form too which helped.

Pfunk, it's probably the sheer excitement of realising I only have 17 days of work left, but I would like to reiterate the comment you made a couple of weeks ago... This is going to be...



















































FUCKING EPIC!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
