I don’t ‘need’ to get an Ed but here’s the logic. If I went straight in on an O visa then extension, I’d need to put 800k in the bank for the extension, which is essentially dead money. This way I kill 2 birds with one stone. Firstly, I want to learn the language and the Ed visa forces me to attend classes, even if I’m hungover. Secondly, I get to use the 65k method straight away for the extension application as my preferred method for proof of funds.
So you judge a service based on whether a Hotmail account is used or not. The lady in question is VERY professional and provides an EXCELLENT service. The very fact she has been recommended should tell you something! No? Also, what about finding out for yourself and doing some initial due diligence. Dismissing her just because of the use of an email address is western snobbery, short sighted and very lazy. Have a nice day 😉
