What's the reason for not going with agencies?

I have been periodically checking for available dates for karnada for the past month or so. Nothing is available. The system is realy bad and I don't have the time to check for available dates every time 5 mins for hours together.

Thanks
Clare

Well, there is no guarantee that they would enter correct data.
I had seen one case, where the visa was rejected as the agent did not put correct data in DS156 and in addition to that he re-labeled DS156 column’s heading to match the answer what he wrote.
More details…

There may rarely be any agents who are honest, don't mislead, don't write wrong information and do everything correctly.

However, most of the agents mislead, put wrong information in the papers, misguide you. Their goal is to just take your money and get as many customers as possible irrespective of whether they can provide any realistic help or not.

Therefore, it is best to avoid such agents as most of them have no qualifications or recognition.
