gazsmith Posted May 9, 2011 Share Posted May 9, 2011 Hi, I am wondering if any of the other bricklayers who were in London with me to do there practical assessment on April 11th have heard anything officially as yet? I have logged into VETASSESS which shows i was successful on the practical but have no evidence to send to WA until they officially send me something by email or post!!! Time is running out for us guys and am hoping i simply have not been skipped in some kind of clerical error!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the same boat, did my carpentry on the 11th April and still haven't received my letter. Spoke to my agent today and they say it's because of the Easter break etc it's taking longer than usual!

gazsmith Posted May 10, 2011 Author Share Posted May 10, 2011 July deadline to me is that after the 1st July British residents will have to take the english test if you do not have the required points as trades seem to be getting downgraded slightly!

gazsmith Posted May 11, 2011 Author Share Posted May 11, 2011 Thanks for the request Sharon, Think i remember Alan, Did you travel down with another couple? Remember him Saying he was from York as my Brother is in Scarborough!, Sent in my State sponsorship application today just hope they turn it round in the 4wk turnaround ive been advised they work to, Are you any closer to lodging your visa?

thepallis Posted May 12, 2011 Share Posted May 12, 2011 You probably will remember him, he is very seldom forgotten once met. lol. :biggrin: We met up with another couple from Newcastle who I had been chatting to on here. Mandi & Darren. We sent in SS on 3/5/11 so not that much in front of yourself, probably hear at the same time. The waiting is the worst part of this whole process, at least you have the wedding to take your mind off it for a couple of days. I'm just addicted to this damn computer at moment checking e-mails. Once again have a great wedding and honeymoon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
