Yes that makes sense. But I guess an agent could explain the pros and
cons to their client and let them choose rather than just saying
don't do it.
We plan to go as soon as we get the visa, getting everything ready now,
have a house to go to so its just the wait. And knowing my luck we'll be
the last to get it!
