Stage 1
1

Hi All,

I have a quote from an immigration lawyer who can help with Stage 1 filing. Their fee is 6k+VAT excluding govt fee and comes to about £8k just for stage 1. It sounds a bit steep.

I’d like to ask:

  1. anyone who worked with consultants for their GTV, how has the experience been?
  2. How much did they pay?
  3. Can anyone recommend agency/lawfirm they’ve personally used and had an exceptional experience…

Thank you

I think you should read the evidence that others who got endorsed have shared and the tech nation guide in detail. Your evidence looks like a lot of internal document and it doesn’t prove how you led the growth of any organisation and that you have been recognised as a leading or potential talent in the digital technology sector.
