Ooh best of luck, we're doing it without an agent too

The TRA can be really daunting but I've had loads of help off this site. Just hope we pass it now :scared:

What's your skill?

We're now thinking of saving on agents fees and we have a few complications with our application, but thanks to BE and other internet sites we have some idea of what to do and who to and where to ask if we get stuck....and if we hit any major snags we know we can then get an agent in

We did it without an egent from start to end and saved ourselves thousands of pounds, we failed our first attemp at the TRA, so we decided to retry and after typing up 6 pages of A4 on things about my job we passed and have now completed every thing else and recieved our visa in the passports last week. Try it on your own, just be carefull, tripple check everything you have done and wrote!! Go for it, Pete
