leah28 Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Hi, has anyone recently had a positive skills assessment back from TRA?If so, how long did the whole process take? Thanks Hi! My husband TRA got a positive result we just received it last month, the first stage of application ( Submission of required documents) will took 2-3 months im not sure with the exact weeks but in that time frame and if he passed the first stage you will then receive a letter from them saying that he passed,,, the second stage is iether technical interview or practical test it depends on your trade skill, once you pay it wait for your schedule ,, waiting period of 3-4weeks, my hubby is a metal fabricator his technical interview lasted 45 minutes and after 10 days we received his certificate good luck! By the he did his trade skill assessment through Vetassess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PomCop Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Let us know how you get on and how long it takes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbro Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 Will do - our stuff got submitted on the 30th Jan and not the 26th that we thought. Have emailed our agent to find out if they have received the acknowledgement email to confirm receipt by TRA as I believe the 60 day clock doesnt start until that date. Will keep you in the loop @PomCop xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 @PomCop our agent confirmed that our forms where posted 30/01 & TRA received our application on 12th Feb which means the 60 day clock starts as of the 12th Feb - very frustrating and another 2-3 weeks onto our guesstimated dates xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PomCop Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 It's the same for me and I haven't even submitted my TRA yet! I have to wait until July. Pure torture! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
susanbro Posted March 11, 2015 Author Share Posted March 11, 2015 I feel you're pain. My OH had to do the AQF 3 so he could submit to TRA, that took a few months and we thought it was just a case of submitting to TRA and getting it back in 2-3 weeks. What a shock that was when our agent said 12 weeks. Good luck with your application. make sure you have everything else sorted and in place before this gawd awful stage xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

susanbro Posted April 27, 2015 Author Share Posted April 27, 2015 Just a quick update for anyone srill awaiting the outcome from TRA - We are at week 11 now and still waiting but a friend of mines is a week in front and got an email from TRA this morning to advise they are working 2 weeks behind due to an influx in applications, so looking like a 14 week wait all in xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RamanDeep Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Hello Everyone, This is my first post. I am also with all of you in the same boat. I too sent my application to TRA on 26 March and received Ack on 9th April. I think they take 60 working days to asses an application. There was not even a single day when I have not thought about TRA. Its like counting each and every day. Really pure torture.... Hope for best for everyone who applied to TRA.. Regards...

susanbro Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Sorry hun, I have no idea whether or not you would get a visa. If you post your question as a thread of your own I'm sure someone with more knowledge will be able to help you out. Only thing I would suggest is checking your skills is on the list as the new financial year kicked off yesterday and there was additions and some removals from the list. Good luck xx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nobbi Posted July 8, 2015 Share Posted July 8, 2015 Thanks Leah, that makes me feel a bit better. He's a painter and I believe we only have the 1 stage so hopefully we get the letter soon xx Hi im also a painter. Just wondering if your partner had an nvq or whether he got assessed somehow by an australian authority. Im abit confused because I read that though dont except nvq unless they are through an apprenticeship. I have mine from being time served and then paying for it myself. Thanks for reply if any and I hope you guys are there enjoying yourselves ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
