Visa Advice

[mike]

Hi,
can i ask a question. My wife will soon make her application for a visa to British embassy in philippines. She said there is an agency in Cebu called Rica's Travel Services, that can assist with her visa application, and by going with this agency she will not have to be interviewed at the british embassy in Manila, as this agency will take care of everything. Has anyone ever heard of this?

Thanks

The majority on here never used a Agency and were approved for a visa.

I doubt the british embassy in phill would think oh its an application sent with the help of an agent, we had better not interview them.

In fact from writing i have seen on the website of the embassy, they actually warn people not to use agents or fixxers.

Follow the basic proceduere mentioned all over this forum and you both should have no problem.

Thanks for the advice. So you think the agency is really a scam as their fee is also 3,500 Peso to do this

The words barge-pole and wouldn't and touch and with spring to mind here. Don't bother, save yourself 3500 peso and do the job yourself.

Thanks everyone for the advice, it seems from what you guys are saying, it is best my wife does not use an agency, oh well, looks like she will have to have an interview like everone else.

very few Peeps have Interviews nowdays.

This is why research, prepration and loads of effort are involved.

Thankly Mr admins site has made the job much easier.

Ask your questions if after searching and reading most of the posts on this sites doesn't help.

I would also not advise using an agency, as you would be I guess supplying them with enough data to clone you and the missus id...

Im sure this company has no intentions of doing this but whats its data security/protection policy and levels of vetting of the staff?

Just a thought to bear in mind.

Sorry to be a pain, let me just understand something. You guys are saying that with good preperation, there will be NO interview for my wife at the British embassy in Manila?
