Hi Modokaba,
The previous reply and info from College Girl is correct. I am a Registered Migration Agent and am amazed at how people get ripped off by unscrupulous agents. You may be eligible for a refund of your fee if there is a certain document they didn't send you relating to your service fee. Also, check your contract about what the fee included. It should state somewhere that the service and contract that you paid for ENDS when the first stage visa as been decided upon. If it doesn't specify when the service ends, then there may also be redress. Finally, for anyone else out there, its always worth checking and 'shopping around' if using an Agent (and always check that they are registered by the MARA). $2,000 for the second stage is rather high! I charge $2,300 for the whole process. Cheers - Phil (Superior Migration Consultancy) Melbourne.
