, Richard. Some people on here, swear by the use of agencies to handle their visa applications
... others say they "wouldn't touch them with a barge pole!". I suppose a lot depends on the quality of the agency selected. But personally, I doubt if there's any real need to engage their services if an applicant follows the instructions [provided] carefully
... and "to the letter" ... and I certainly shouldn't imagine it's likely to affect the outcome ... one way or the other.
