Hello. I am in the process of applying for my spousal visa and I have hired the immigration consultants- www.marriagevisahelp.com. They are not OISC registered and I am just praying that I am making a wise decision by using them. Has anyone ever used them before or know anyone who has? I would really like to hear more about them from people who have had personal experiences with them- both good and bad. Thank you in advance for your reply.

When we decided to hire somebody to assist us with our fiancÃ©e visa application I called several immigration consultants and solicitors who deal in this area. I chose Marriagevisahelp.com after speaking on the phone with them because I got the impression that they would be reachable when we needed answers and because it seemed they would not take our matter lightly. We could not have made a better choice than getting them as representative through the visa process. Our case worker was great, very professional and super fast in responding. My fiancÃ©e received her visa in Thailand in just 2 weeks and with no interview. I am certain that it would have been more of a lengthy and confusing ordeal had we not used professional services. I would be happy to have them handle our FLR application, but due to financial issues I am going to have to do it myself this time, hopefully, with some help from this message board. Dean

Nice one! And all for FREE! Maybe I should plug my business here too?

Hate to tell you this, but all of you "super sleuths" are wrong - and the owners and mods of the board will clearly be able to see that the IP addresses are probably not even in the same part of the world. LOL! All kidding aside, I was hoping that I could find an honest opinion about this company by someone with more than one post. There is another thread on this board that also asks a similar question about this company http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 423#208423 - but is also only answered by a suspicious forum member with just one post ( which is why I asked again in the first place). I have to say that I find that disturbing and it also makes me wonder if someone from the actual company is not scanning the board to promote themselves.
I would also like to say that I have been to 3 immigration boards and can not find anyone with any real credibility who has used this company before.

I will keep on trying and I will still welcome the feedback of anyone who has been around for a while who would like to share their experiences working with them either on the open forum or through pms. TIA.

Dean if you are sincere and not an employee of the company, I would like to thank you for your post and apologize for any unfair assumptions. Cheers!

OK then..........................

About "marriagevisahelp.com"

There is no actual UK address.

There is no postal address for any of their locations.

They do not have an OISC logo, they may not even be regulated by them.

I cannot find "Marriage Visa Help" on the OISC list of advisors:

http://www.oisc.gov.uk/people_seeking_i ... _advisers/

Due to the paucity of info on their website I will not be easily find out if they are regulated by the Law Society for England and Wales for example.

They have a 100% success record which is pretty unbelievable frankly.

A "WHOIS" search does not reveal much apart from that the website appears to have only been created in 2007.

So it is up to you really.

walessale, I can assure you I am not an employee of the company. I wasnâ€™t actually going to write anything here, but your thread grabbed my attention as I tried to find any useful information on making our FLR application. Unfortunately, I canâ€™t afford to use a consultant this time. I must admit I was skeptical myself when I realised they were not registered with OISC, but they managed to convince me that my case would be handled in the most professional and efficient manner and they kept their promise. The consultant I initially spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and in less than five minutes explained the process in detail, while other consultancies I had contacted could barely answer basic questions about applying for a fiancÃ©e visa in Thailand. In fact, one of the so-called qualified professionals told me my fiancÃ©e could come on a tourist visa and then apply for a spouse visa from the UK which was not the case. They completed all the forms, booked an appointment for my fiancÃ©e in Bangkok and ended up sending a complete package to my fiancÃ©e with instructions in Thai which was very helpful. They called my fiancÃ©e to make sure she understood the process, which we both greatly appreciated. As a result, the process went smoothly and our visa was approved in just 2 weeks while in most cases it takes longer from what I understand. I recommended this company to a good friend of mine who is going through the same process with his Chinese girlfriend and they are happy with them. I personally wasnâ€™t crazy about getting a registered consultant to assist us through the process, especially after receiving wrong advice from one of them. All I wanted was to get this done right, quickly and for a reasonable fee. Good luck!
