Hi all,
Just like to say fab site, learning more than my one new thing a day.

We are 4 Maxine, Mark, and 2 Girlies.
Mark - chef
Me - many things !!
Girlies - fun

Just starting out and finding the TRA foms hell. Loads of former employers gone , having to send rest a finished product to sign. How in depth do you have to be? Have any Chefs out there got any advice too? Hope to be of use myself one day.

thanks Maxine

Hi there Maxine and family
BIG welcome to PiO
Cant help with the chef bit but with the TRA bit, you have to be very indepth including listing all tools used right down to different sorts of spoons etc! Am sure someone else will advise further. All l can say is 'Over the Top' where the TRA are concerned is good!
Also ensure all dates of employment tie up with any gaps explained (i.e. unemployed, went travelling).
Very best of luck

Hi guys and welcome to poms,The tra is probably the hardest bit of the visa and does seem to take ages to organise,but it also probably the most important ,,keep at it and youll get there,post away with any questions or queries and someone will be able to help you out ..

Hi and welcome. From what other pio's have said the tra is the hardest and you need to be in depth and state the obvious.
