Hi. Yes as I didn't have enough work experience then hairdressing was removed of the list. That was 2012. So we now want to try again

Hi all, advice needed. I'm a hairdresser and I run my own salon. I'm looking at the 190 visa and just starting again on this journey. Any advice?? I've ran it for three years and been hairdressing since 2009. Do you think I'd pass all the relevant tests we would be moving out as a family and leaving our eldest at university help please

If you can that would be fantastic...I feel I need any help available. I'm trying to save cash by doing it alone. Who news to sign it then?? Thankyou x

Thanks for your advice,I really appreciate it. It's so hard sometime to know what to do. The top and bottom of it is that my quals are recognised but I don't have 3 yrs post quals! It's so difficult. I was unsure on how to do the stat dec...so I just wrote out my whole job and what I do on a daily basis. This level 3 and time is so annoying x it would be great if there's another hairdresser out there that's done it and can advise me x

Well after my TRA outcome I one have to wait till oct 2013 before I can reapply as I need more time post qualifications. Gutted but at least it wasn't a no.

Got mine today.....gutted again!!! L 7.5 R 8.5 W 8.5 S 8.5 We need all 8s and I'm so annoyed that I've missed out on .5 of a mark!!

Hi all, I'm in need of help!! Just got my letter back today stating the reasons why,I have been working as a hairdresser for just three years. Qualified level 2 15 yrs ago and then qualified level three in oct 2010,this is not long enough apparently??they also say I haven't given enough evidence of my self employment from the last 2 1/2 yrs. Also my statutory declaration isn't correct. Am I correct in reading that I have to pay again to get it reviewed?? Any advice would be greatly received :arghh:

Im so sorry for you....it's so frustrating. Try not to be too disappointed. Xx

Thanks. I've tried and no results at the mo...I'll try agin tomorrow x

Is anyone hoping to get their results tomorrow??? I'm hoping I'll be able to get my results online tomorrow from Warwickshire college. Fingers crossed!!!

Thanks so much everyone,I'm sure it's worth it but it does make you think a little....I suppose that's why it's made so difficult to get there. I'll keep you all posted on the outcome x

Phoned them at some ungodly hour this morning to be told that the letter has been sent and I'll just have to wait.....more torture!!! Im Also getting Ielts results on fri!!!! This is not good for the stress levels....please tell me it's all worth it or should we give up now???

Thanks for the advice ,I'll give them a call tomorrow. It's hairdressing...I was so gutted yesterday. Never mind,until I know the full reason I'll stay positive. If its meant to be,I'll get there!!

Thanks Millie (

I've just checked online and I've been unsuccessful in my assessment. I'm gutted but I'm going to wait to see what the letter says. Has anyone got any experience of the same?? If so whats the next step?? My OH says to not be too upset and wait for a reason....I'm going to try but it's hard when it's ur future plans on hold ( I knew I should've got that wine earlier!!

Thanks alien1975....just tried to log on for the first time and it won't load....slightly frustrated now!!

Congratulations...they received mine on the 5/5/12. I haven't heard anything yet...how did you receive your results??? I'm getting excited and nervous.

Did my Ielts for a second time today...hope it's the last!! All went well I think so I've got things crossed. Good luck to others waiting on results Can anyone shed any light on new procedures for hairdressers??? Still awaiting skill assessment

hi,no I'm taking it in rugby!!

Hi,I'm sitting my second test on the 30th...on my first I got 8.5writing,8.5 listening,8 speaking and 6.5 reading. Needless to say I'm gutted at the reading but I did find it hard. I've practised a little for the next one but not much. Fingers crossed for us all. Good luck

hi,I've just been reading on the immi website about the new Skillselect visa process......can anyone tell me any more info please? Im a hairdresser with over 6 yrs experience and I'm hoping to be able to make the move but I've missed the July deadline so this next phase is my only option. Thanks

Can anyone tell me how much it's cost them to make the move,were a family of five looking to move in the near future. I'm going to do all the applications myself to save some cash!! I would really appreciate some feedback on whole visa process costs and how much you took over to help you get settled?? Oh and flight costs too! Not asking too much....am I???? Thanks in advance :biggrin:

Hi all, Can anyone tell me how and how long it takes for TRA to acknowledge reciept of documents?? I sent mine off over a month ago and not heard anything??feeling slightly impatient!!

Me too,although I actually didn't think it was that hard so next time I'll fly it.....I hope!!!! Next one available is the 9th June going to ok it now

Oh balls....I got so excited then so disappointed best get booking another one then gutted. I was under the illusion I needed an overall 8!!! Pooh pooh!
