[Hiya thfc,

it's not looking good when thay can't even tell you how long it will take. :scared:

One of the immigration agents on the forum might be able to help.

how long did the tra take?
and what did you need to put in it.

thfc

After doing all the paperwork about 100 pages in all,it took about 4 months then we had to do the sponsership etc,then the medicals etc.and still waitng for the answer on the visas.

paulf

Bloody hell! 100 pages!!!!!!!

I was just going to send my ACOPS in which shows I,m qualified
all in all 2 pages..

guess i,ll think again.

I was told by my Migration agent to write as much as poss about every sort of plumbing work i had done ,what tools i use ,what materials,and how you do the jobs ,it was a nightmare to do ,and took ages,.

LOL, for certain types of work I use an instrument with a flat head, i use this to rotate spiral pins which fasten objects together,
I call it a "Screw Driver"


Suppose I could spin it out abit.

Hi THFC
great result today wasn't it
not so good for my other halfs team though - he's a liverpool fan!
hubby is a plasterer and had to write down loads about his day to day work, tools, way he worked etc. loads of info, try putting it into a normal language not 'tradesman's talk!'
can't answer you're question about how long it all takes, ages i think!
best of luck with your application

Three questions

1) Did you wait for Dima to ask you for police clearances or have you tried to front load your application.

2)Were you advised to do so by your migration agent?

3) Are you a spurs fan.

Cheers

Our Migration agent advised us for the medicals and police clearences.Which they had back in Adelaide by march 5th 2002,all in all its been going on since about May 2002,and were getting very restless now.We have put our house up for sale ,and thinking about coming out on a 3 month holiday visa and taking a chance on them issuing our visa while were out in oz,i know we have to leave oz for visa to be issued,so were take a holiday somewhere.

Sorry to hear about you application. As someone said earlier maybe one of the agents will answer your query. It seems that you have been waiting a really long time since you had your meds in March. I suggest that you contact your own agent urgently and ask them for an update.

Do you know if your agent is registered with Mara or Mia?

Who is your agent? I am new to this and about to start the immigration process and unsure whether to use an agent or not. Are they one I should avoid? I feel I need an agent for the TRA assistance due to me not having much spare time.
