If you are not familiar with the immigration process, it can be confusing to know what steps to take, how to do things, and who to hire. You might wonder why hiring an agent is a better option for you than handling everything on your own. There are many reasons someone would choose a partner visa 820 agent or any other visa expert agent over doing everything themselves. These are some of the most common. 

The first step in immigrating is applying for a visa or permit to travel or move somewhere else permanently. Depending on where you want to go, this could be through work or marriage or even other reasons like visiting family members living abroad. Once this initial application has been processed and approved by the place you intend to move (or visit) to, you need to proceed with your immigration. 

When you apply for immigration anywhere in the world, it is required that you submit all the necessary documents that prove who you are and why you want to move there. These can include identity cards, birth certificates, marriage licences (if applicable), education certificates (for children), employment records if already working somewhere, financial information about your family members living in the country or region where you wish to move etc. You also may have to take an English test if moving to a predominantly English speaking country like Australia, for example. 

These documents usually require notarized copies to be submitted when it comes time for processing by officials abroad. If any of these originals are lost or go missing, you may need to write to the originating country or organization for copies. Due to backlogs and other administrative issues, this could take upwards of 6 months to a year (or even more). If your application is approved, you can only move forward with another one for the final approval stage. 

A reputable immigration consultant will go through all these steps for you, including notarizing your documents at their office. They also make sure everything is in order before submitting it so that there are no delays or lost documents during processing. In addition, since this agent has experience dealing with immigration processes on behalf of clients, they will know exactly what needs to be done and when specific documentation is required from you and how long it takes each step of the way. 

If you are using an immigration agent to handle your application, you shouldn't share any of these documents with anyone else except for them. This is because many countries have strict laws about sharing certain types of information before official processing has begun. If someone finds out what documents or visas you have applied for, they may try to take advantage of this and get included in your application process somehow (by offering fake documentation etc.). For this reason, only, it is advised that all copies of certificates like birth certificates etc., be given to immigration agents to make copies for their files instead. 

Another valuable thing immigration consultants can offer their clients counselling, especially if one is immigrating due to difficult circumstances like political upheaval or war. Since they have dealt with many immigration processes abroad, the agent understands what questions to ask and how to best advise their clients through these difficult times. During the counselling session, the agent will try and assess your situation and tell you your chances of moving or visiting somewhere else and possible solutions to any problems you may be having if it is not possible for you to go where you wish at this time. 

The last reason people hire an immigration agent is to help their clients with almost everything involved in the application process. Lawyers only deal with legal aspects of your case and leave out important information that may affect your chances of moving or visiting somewhere else and the personal circumstances surrounding the reasons why you want to proceed, etc. Therefore, an intelligent and experienced agent will know exactly what needs to be done and when, taking care of every aspect themselves, so all you have to worry about is getting them all your documents and signing the documents they give you.
