Immigration Agents - Tread with care, guys!!

[kaztayli]

We did it ourselves and it was fairly painless (if you exclude dealing with South African officials, UK police services who know nothing, South African police services who screwed up from 5 years ago, etc etc)

We saved ourselves a fortune

We also did everything ourselves.  Also saved ourselves a fortune!

hhmmm would it be unethical in any sense to provide some company names here, of who we should avoid, or even on the other end of the stick, some companies that've provided a quality service and would be recommended?

Thanks

Seriously - don't waste the money on agents - do it yourself

We looked at the EOI and panicked, had a glass of wine, panicked some more, filled in all the basic information and took a break.
The next night we went back to it well prepared, bottle of wine opened!   

Seriously it's not difficult and we saved a killing - give it a look over before you go use an agent.  All the agents that we spoke to - put the fear of God into us by telling us that we wouldn't get PR without their help - well we did and even with problems - it turned out to be a breeze (Just keep those bottles of wine handy  )
