    Does anyone know an agent in Aus who I can talk to about applying for a 417 visa? On the borderline of the points test so don't really want to start the process if I'm not going to get it and really just need some clarification on where I stand. Have tried contacting immi by email but no joy so far.
    Thanks

    Mate you can do a WHV yourself in about 5 minutes, an agent would be a waste of time and money.

    Points test 417??? I think you are looking at the wrong visa ... immi will not mail you back, they are not an agency

    Sorry typo.

    Ment 457.

    I know the immi are not an agency-I emailed them asking for clarification on certain issues. I'm not that thick!

    There is no points system for the 457 visa.

    Can you see why I need help with this? Can you recommend an agent or service?

    even better idea is to ask your sponsoring employer to organise an agent and then get them to pay for it.
