Help with Chen application from Aus. - good migration agent?

Post by splanky » Wed Jul 03, 2013 2:37 am

Hello,

I'm an Australian, but my six-year-old daughter had Dutch citizenship through her father. I am her primary carer, and she has lived with me since she was born.

I'd like to spend some time living and working in the UK. Research I have done online indicates that my daughter and I have the right to do this under the ruling of the Chen case.

As I've only just got her passport after 10 months of frustration, I am keen to move on with the immigration process as soon as possible. But I continue to be frustrated! I first contacted the Named OISC advisors office in Australia. They contacted their UK office who told me I had no right to reside in the UK and had never heard of the Chen case. Obviously I don't want to go with a migration agent who has never applied under that ruling before! 1st Contact Australia, other local migration agent I found that deals in UK visas, had never heard of Chen and told me up front they don't deal in EEA-route applications.

Then I did some more googling and found some UK law firms that have dealt in Chen cases. I emailed Rennaissance Chambers last week, and they have not repsonded to my email.

Where do I go from here? Can anyone recommend a law firm or migration agent who has expertise in this area _and_ will deal with me in a timely manner? Are there other options I should be looking at? I want to get moving on this!

Regards,
Kylie
