Hi,
We have abit of a situation and wondered if anyone can help. We are about to apply for our TRA through an agent, and was wondering if it comes back ok how long will it be valid until you have to put in main application. We have asked our agent and they say just continue although that may be a biased opinion as they will recieve our money quicker. The thing is i am 3 months pregnant with second child and we are still very indecisive and scared about the whole move thing, so thought if we did the first bit we could wait till the baby arrives before continuing when we are 100% sure and have been on a trip there. Any advice would be appreciated or people who have been in same position.

The TRA assessment does not expire.

havent they just announced that there will be more visa available to skilled workmen?
and i thought the tra had an expiry date ... something like 2 years?
perhaps youd be better asking in the immigration forum

I have just received my TRA back and it expires in 2 years, this is as a Radiographer. It may be that different skills assessments have different rules and it may be worth checking with the appropriate assessor
