JohnAli Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Hi Guys I have been reading your posts over the last few weeks and they have given me hope and made me realise lots of people are in the same boat.

Val Tibenham Posted May 30, 2012 Share Posted May 30, 2012 Amazing job with the table Tina - probably much more exciting to do than your dissertation - those things are soul destroying :rolleyes: Although no one in my family are going via TRA assessment (do have 1 doing vetassess) I do read the threads just to keep up with everyone's progress. It does seem like there are more negative assessments coming through at the moment and it does make you wonder whether they are getting overwhelmed with the volume of applications, are trying to process asap and in the process are not really giving each application the proper amount of time it needs to assess it fully and accurately - just my thoughts :unsure: Wishing every one good luck with their applications, appeals and reapplications - don't give up on the dream :smile: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnAli Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 PSWebb Hi our agent applied for our WA state sponsorship yesterday according to their website it's 5 days processing time so hopefully that is right we get and we are off to Perth / Mandurah area or where ever the jobs are. After reading a lot of these post we were very worried about our TRA application, we can only the praises of our agent, who told us yesterday they have not heard from TRA for people who applied before us, I can only presume that either our assessor worked quickly or they must all have their specialities and there are not a lot of electronics trade workers to asses - we have not come across any so far. Good luck with your appeal . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mdmx33 Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Your application has been assessed as SUCCESSFUL for the occupation GASFITTER 334114 following the assessment process. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaffanZimbo Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 4 weeks later and we have a mound of additional paperwork for our resubmission. Fingers crossed it will be couriered today to our agent in Melbourne. J ust have to pop to the bank to collect 3 years work of original bank statements (we use online only banking) - they said they would be ready today (whoever thought of opting for the greeen paperless system would come back to bite us in a big way!!). Really stressful having to ask those we had work references from for the original submission to sign new very long versions... W e have 3 years worth of invoices, timesheets, a letter from our accountants proving income and providing a reference, references from the 2 agencies used in the last 3 years, references from 2 supervisors from the 2 jobs worked in the last 3 years (the company will not provide references as OH is a contractor...). Luckily I have an in-house solicitor at my place of work who has certified 75+ pages of documents for free saving us an absolute fortune. Fingers, toes and all other appendages crossed that our resubmission will be succesful!!!! Will update with the new submission date to TRA when our agent confirm this to us (hopefully next week!).:yes: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carajg Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Hi mdmx33 Congratulations! We are also waiting for the outcome of our assessment for gasfitter, did you do an apprenticeship?

family of five Posted May 31, 2012 Share Posted May 31, 2012 Tina, thank you for the doing the table - it is really useful!!still not heard anything and i'm really starting to panic that ours will be unsuccessful too hoping we hear back really soon, getting impatient now! thanks for everyone's updates, its good to see where we are all at! Your application has been assessed as SUCCESSFUL for the occupation GASFITTER 334114 following the assessment process. Dani5 maybe the fact they are taking a bit longer is a good thing, the quicker the processing time seems to result in more unsuccessfull. mdmx33 well done!!!!

I'll update on here once we hear back! Hoping it is something minor that can be rectified so you can either appeal or re-apply. Last night I did a search back on posts and there seemed to be quite a few who needed to re-apply so don't give up hope. If there's a Will there's a Way. Good Luck.

Guest Illumanati2 Posted June 1, 2012 Share Posted June 1, 2012 Hello everyone. Just about to send off my evidence, bit worried as to all of these unsuccesful apps. I was wondering as this is a forum, can people help everyone else going through the process by putting down as much information as to what they included in their application, example, pay slips, certificates ( what level) etc etc. Im sure this will help other applications to make sure that they have enough information in. I will include mine: I currently have the following included in my evidence pack: 1. Work history statement- this so far is 7 pages long explaning what jobs I have done in my line of work, gone into as much detail as possible starting at day 1 and finishing at present. 2. Tool list - This is around 3 pages long listing all the tools I have used and a brief explanation of what that tool is used for. 3. Typical work day - I have explained in detail what a general day is like, explaining how I undertake my job, how I use tools etc etc. This is about 3 pages long 4. Materials list- a list of all materials I use. 2 pages 5. NVQ 2 and NVQ 3 portfolio evidence- this is a copy of my 2 NVQ portfoilios. these are about 20 pages each- double sided. 6. 3 xself employment stat decs. I no longer have paperwork for these periods of self employment and I have made a stat dec to cover these periods. 7. Passport copy and C.V 8. About 10 pages of additional photographic evidence of my work. 9. Certificates, I have enclosed 2 trade certificates- NVQ 2 and a NVQ Level 3, I have also enclosed other related certificates..about 8 in total. 10. Work references- this is from my self employed periods hence backing up my stat dec. 11. Employer references- This covers the periods I was employed 12. Invoices, payslips, p60's- I have lost a lot of these due to relocation and house moves. I have enclosed as many as I can and I have about 20-25 a4 sheets of evidence. 13. NVQ level's Criteria- this is from the net explaining the units achieved in your qualification- this is a good reference to th OZ units- comparable? Hope this helps those looking to put together an application. Im sure I have missed something. If anyone can help others ad can provide samples if they have already achieved successful application that would be great as soon as I have been given the YES or No from TRA I shall provide my samples to the forum. thanks and good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
