Guest andyplant Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Hi all, I've been keeping a very close eye on this thread over the last couple of months. I had my acknowledgement of application from tra on the 28th February, and got my positive skills assesed today (7/06/12) at 4:32pm. Hope everyone else still waiting gets a reply soon.

Schafer Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 I've been trying to get on the TRA online all day but not having much luck as it keeps saying server busy.. Has anyone else been having this problem..?? Very frustrating...!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Posted June 7, 2012 Share Posted June 7, 2012 Oh god, ours must be due any day!!! In going to phone TRA tonight to try and find out when they received our application, as our agent is being very unhelpful!! She posted off on the 15th march! I don't know how long it takes for them to receive it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Application was not registered untill 16th of may, Can not believe it!! Two months after it was sent off! Not happy:mad:. So the wait goes on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the wait goes on! WHAT! From mine and what others have said all have got lodges only a week or so off being posted. Are you sure your agent sent it when they said they did, I would ask your agent for proof of postage as it never takes 8 weeks for them to open their mail, I know the TRA are slow but that is ridiculous. Waht about the 01.07.12 cut off will it aaffect you? Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I think I will send her an email! She keeps reassuring us that the changes won't have a negative affect on us, so I think shes known for a while that we had no chance of making it before then!!

family of five Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 But you would have had a chance as when we spoke to the TRA if you application was in before 05.04 it would be processed before 30.06.12. If I was you I would get the referance number off your agent and ring the TRA Sunday night and ask them when it was received and lodged and I bet there is not an 8 week gap. Good luck Tina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Harriet Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 We called them last night and we were give a reference for the online tracker. Registered date is saying 16th may! Have just emailed agent to see if it was sent when she said it was! I had read on the TRA website about applications in before 5th April would be conpleated before the end of June! So have been confident we'd get a result before the 1st!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pswebb38 Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 Finally got our outcome letter from TRA this morning. Not from our agent as you might suspect but directly from the assessing officer who did my wife's application. Up until yesterday our agent still claimed she hadn't received it! Anyway, the reason for being unsuccessful is down to not enough info about daily duties. Basically they want a transcription like 'war and peace' saying what my wife does at work and a description of what the business does that she works in- it's a bakery, what do they think it does! So now the next few days or at least a week will be taken up redoing our TRA application. Undecided whether to get our agent to submit it as she is so fecking useless!

WhoooHooo Congrats to those who have passed!! PSwebb - i know what you mean, some of the agents are just not worth the money. An agent potentially sitting on papers for 8 weeks is just not on. I'm sorry I had to laugh when you said about what does a baker do! It does seem a bit **** and I totally sympathise with you, but look at this way, at least it is something relatively minor and you can bore them to death with such an indepth essay that they will be in no doubt about what a baker does and how they do it. We run our own business and no two days are the same and we are on call 24/7. I have told my OH to write like he is explaining his job to someone who has never heard of it before. I am really not looking forward to this process, but needs must. In a few months time, we will all look back on this and laugh. BTW, I was born in Gillingham.

It's one of those situations that you have to laugh at otherwise you'll go mad! So whereabouts do you live now if you originated from Gillingham?

Candygirl Posted June 8, 2012 Share Posted June 8, 2012 I would love to meet up with peeps from PIO. I feel we are going through this rollercoaster ride together and share in eachother's ups and downs. TBH, I really don't know where we will end up going. Originally, we were heading to Brisbane. Then found out the processing time for family sponsored visas was taking forever and OH's skill not on QLD SS list. So have spent months researching Perth, WA as OH's skill is on SS SOL list. Today, have read some further info about the new scheme to find that if your skills are on the new CSOL list the state have to sponsor you so OH has now said we have two options East or West. As if my head was not all over the place as it is:biggrin: I have decided not to think about it, need to get through TRA first and will then think about the next bit. I think under the new scheme, you can put in for all states. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
