As others have said - try and stay positive. Get as much info as you can about why they have come to that decision and then you will be able to appeal, or reapply. Don't give up - you've worked so hard for your dream and you'll get there. All the best.

Gutted for you mate...chin up

Gee that is rubbish!

Hope you can get a successful appeal.

Thankyou for that, its something to do with my RAF write up, i do make the points.

Hi Nev

Dont give up. There is always a way, Really sorry to hear your news. But I would not take it as a sign. When we started on the roller coaster we were told by a migration agent (a so called expert) that we could not get in. As it happens I did the whole thing myself and...well....the rest they say is history.

I really feel for you mate, but keep going.

All the best. G n T

Thank you all for you messages of support and encouragement, it does help. I will be appealing because this is not a whim, this is for real, we all want this my ten year old included so much that it hurts, i suppose thats why it was such a shock to get the call this morning, i suppose i always knew there was a possibilty of refusal but it doesnt make it any easier. I will kepp you informed of further outcome.


Thanks again.

Nev.

I am so sorry to hear you have been refused your TRA results and you must be feeling like the bottom has fallen out of your world at the moment

But you know what mate, this is just one hurdle amongst many that are going to be testing your resolve. Half of the battle re emigrating, is having the balls to get through each and every obstacle that's put in your place. Jeez.....if you ask people how the emigrating process went for them I bet the majority will tell you they felt like they'd run the grand national with three legs broken

As everyone has said so far, don't give up or give in. You haven't exhausted the process yet mate and if you're really serious about this...then bloody fight it all the way cos it'll be all the more sweeter for having fought for it!

Good luck and all the best

Shit mate ..just what you don't want to hear!! All I can say is put your appeal in and find out what more they want from you.Stay possitive and get the TRA stuff out again and add more detail. Dont give up yet mate ..your not the first person to fail the TRA first time, I know its all a pain in the arse but its got to be worth it in the long run.

Lots of good advice from people in here Just wanted to say 'Keep positive and appeal' If you make the points then surely you can re-word something in your application and re-submit.

Good Luck!

Sorry to hear that Nev....

Have a few days to get your head straight...and then get that appeal in.
Don't give up.

Don't know if you have done this - but might be worth putting this in the Aus Immigration forum ...couple of agents reguarly go in there, and have been very helpful to people.

Really feel for you and your family, Nev. Ditto to all the above - this is not the end of the road by a long stretch, so don't even think about giving up and get that appeal in.

Nicky

Thanks caroline i will do that.

Nev.

i have heard quite a few get refussed first time but when they apply again with further evidence they pass

Hi there, so sorry for you, we went through a lot to get here, 1 st visa was family sponsor they letus down,too old and scared.
Then the points went up , so we could not go to Perth, then got sponsor in Perth but they lost a big contract so that fell through.
BUT we never gave up.
We rang round gas/plumbing firms in WA south west and got a sponsor.
We had to come regional for 2 years, but we love it here, some things are meant to be.
Could you get a sponsor.
NEVER give up you will get here.
Good luck!
Denise

Keep your chin up, and go for the appeal.Best of Luck xxx
