50 weeks or so, unless you're on the MODL in which case you will be fast tracked.

I've never done a spelling criticism on this site before but why can no one on this forum spell independent?

I dared to criticise someone's punctuation (or rather lack of) once and the knives came out in force. But I've noticed that few people can spell the word 'definite' either. And as for the they're/there/their confusion that reigns - I wonder if they teach the difference in schools anymore.

Hi John

For Fast Track they have quoted 3 months and for normal they have quoted 6 months.

It does appear to be taking the full 3 months at the moment for fast tracked according to people's timeline's.

You should hear very soon now.

Did you get an aknowledgement yet.

Regards

Springo

You should have fast tracked !

Apparently it is taking the full 13 -16 weeks at present due to high numbers of applicants. Plus new financial yr started in May/June, and coupled with new regional skills visa looming !!


Hang in there

Plus i always thought it was INDEPENDANT

I'm confused - can I ask a few questions?

What is fast track and does it apply to TRA or just the VISA Application?

I thought the 50 week wait was the Visa Application not the TRA - am I right?

Probably really stupid questions - sorry!!

Oh - any whilst I'm in questioning mode - hubby wants to know what the firefly exclusion zone is (read it on a map I think!)?

Fast track only applies to the TRA.

50 weeks is for the Visa application.

Hope this helps
