HI- I am not a MI family- we are a NY family- but I wanted to let you know that we used a big agency outside of NY- one of the ones you mentioned and it was just fine- no problems at all. If you are organized and live near the city- it is even easier. My husband works in NYC so he was able to walk every paper in for us. Most agencies will allow you to fax or e mail copies of your paperwork befor you certify them all- so that you know everything is correct and in good order.

If you want more info as to the agency we used- feel free to pm me. I am very happy.
