fastrack tra
hello folks
just spoke to my agent to chase up my tra which was posted 3 weeks - supposed to come back in 20 days if fastrack - apparently there has been big fires in Canberra and my application will be dealt with and i should hear something in 2-3 weeks - so much for fastracking!

We got our TRA assessment back on Saturday, only 3 weeks after posting it.
We didn't fast track it either!!!
I think a lot of it is pot luck, but I think if you've paid extra for the service you should jolly well recieve it.
Well I'm sure you'll get an apology and a refund!!!!!!!! lol
Best of luck

So it should be off this weekend. Then just dig in for the long wait!!
Hopefully you won't have to wait much longer, Btw what trade are you being assessed for?

Pudnut,
Have you put your details on www.austimeline.com? Just did a search and couldn't find you....Am interested because our application to the TRA went off 2 weeks ago - fasttracked.

As regards police checks, I think a lot of people have become unstuck with front loading.I understand that you get a year from the date of the police checks to valid your visa, so If an application has taken a long time to process, the police checks may have become invalid,or you find you only have a matter of weeks to validate!! This can all be got round, by re doing them or applying for extentions, but I would rather not have the hassle.

We have applied under my hubbys trade as a fitter, if successful we would like to settle in the Hillarys area, well that way on anyway, my brother lives in Maylands and my parents live in Peppermint Grove, so I don't mind settling there either, but Hillarys is my first choice.
