    Hi guys do you think this would be a wise investment?
    Andy, The answer, as always, is 'it all depends'.

    The OISC (Office of the Immigration Services Commissioner) has a responsibility for the regulation of Immigration Advisers.
    They make sure that the advisor is a fit and competent professional who can act in your best interests.

    Do make sure the advisor you choose is a member and is experienced. Try to find one by the recommendation of others.
    Also do be sure that whoever you take on has experience with similar application cases to yours.

    There's a lot of people out there just waiting for your money. There are no short cuts or guarantees for a visa

    Don't be taken in by claims of success rates. This is meaningless.

    Always remember they cannot do all the work for you, they cannot collect all the documented evidence. You still need to do that yourself.
    All they can do is ask you to supply information and the UKBA required documentation.

    Anyways:-

    Yep this is spot-on.

    The thing is that you do not want to forget or miss anything. You don't want to cut any corners, you want to be sure all requirements are done and dusted, all supporting documents included.
    In short be fully compliant.

    Most people do it themselves and very successfully too.

    But, if you can't give the time and attention needed, if you feel there are some weaknesses or complications that pull down your self-confidence, then get some help.
    There's more than enough here on the forum, but if you've got the budget get some professional assistance.

    You can always double check your advisor's advice here

    And that is what I did. And I did notice some differences. For example, I was advised not to bother with submitting birthday / christmas / valentines cards etc for example. It was explained that there was just no need. Whereas some folk on the forum felt this was an essential requirement. As long as one has a good collection of pics of you both (all) together, evidence of time spent in Phils and logs as evidence of interim contact for example, then the cards where deemed superfluous. So I didnt submit any. The way it was explained to me was that they wouldn't do any harm but would not add to the strength of my case.

    Hope this helps.
