I think they charged us about £1000 for absolutely nothing apart from further complicating the process and introducing themselves as a third party which meant us travelling to Cebu several times to meet them in their offices.

DO NOT USE AN AGENCY...... IF YOU ARE WITH THEM ALREADY DITCH THEM NOW. Just use the advice you can get from lots of people who have already done it here on this forum OR alternatively use a British Immigration advisor that has to be registered by law.

Just remember your getting a visa to enter the UK so get advice from someone who knows UK immigration law NOT a philippine or American agency. I made the mistake but please dont repeat it!

Lordna is right.Dont use an Agency.The nice folks here will give you and help you with all the info you need.Terpe has the knowledge to put most immigration lawyers to shame.Arthur and Doc also helped me with info and It was all put into a thread in the same day so by time I went to sleep I knew everything I needed ,the order in which to do things and the timescales involved.They are simply the best!!Ditch the Agency now!!
