Refused
Got a phone call this morning from our agent to tell me that my TRA application has been refused. My whole world collapsed right there and then. I have been working at two jobs for the past year specifically for the visa, my 'normal' job is train driver but i have been cooking on virtually every day off so that i can qualify for the visa, now it seems that might have been a total waste of my time and effort. The agent says that we can appeal and he will speak directly to TRA immediately and get back to me by tomorrow morning but that doest stop me feeling like i have been repeatedly kicked in the stomach, I am just in a daze at the moment i dont know what to think or say. Where the hell do i go from here? is this a sign for us to just forget it or what? god i just dont know what to do.

Sorry to hear this Nev; can imagine you must feel pretty distraught. Did they give a reason for the refusal or is it simply through lack of points? Hope the appeal proves successful; how long does that process take?
Keep positive and I have fingers crossed for you. Hope all your efforts will soon be rewarded.

What an awful shock for you, I have no idea where you go from here, just wanted to say keep your self positive and see what others may advise. I will watch your post for any good news mate.
Sending you karma as I type.

At the time them saying no made us jump higher etc.
Don't give up if it is more than a whim.

Oh shit Nev. Dont give up on your dream. Appeal and see what happens. Did they give a reason for refusing it?
All the best.

I have read lots of threads where people have failed first time round so don't give up. Were just getting ready to send ours off just some certifying to do then its off
Fingers crossed for you, it might just be that you didnt supply enough info

Re: Refused
Sorry to hear your news,having gone through so many ups & downs with our visa i do sympathise with how your feeling.
But dont let it beat you,look back at the many success stories of failed TRA applications on here,how they appealled & won, it may help you to think positively again.
Also your agent would not go to the lengths he is going to if he didnt honestly think you didnt have a chance of getting your TRA.
Best of luck & keep your chin up x

Re: Refused
Yup try and stay positive, loads of people have to do it more than once and then get through, they just want even more info whether you think that's possible or not
Good luck and make sure your agent gives you the right information about what TRA said and what to do

Re: Refused
Nev I'm gutted for you.
Get that appeal in and if they still say no, get more stuff together and apply again. You can do it, I know you can

Re: Refused
ah dont worry mate, we failed first time also
just jump right back on that horse and do the whole again
appeal is a waste of time if you ask me as you cant submit more info (unless of course its a mistake on their part, but they wouldnt admit anyway!!)
simply get as much as you can re information together even the simple stuff and the same stuff you would use as if appealing - pay the price again and try again
second time lucky hey!!
good luck
