Can't answer your question as I'm doing a spouse visa, but didn't want you to think you were being ignored!
Someone will be along in a minute with a proper answer...

Re: Tra
ours has been in about 13 weeks now and we are still awaiting the response. i think 13 - 16 is about average for priority. i understand that non priority are taking the full 6 months.
you may be better looking on the immigration forum for tra info, there are quite a few people waiting at the moment.
we heard today that they have been in touch with one of my hubby's former employers, so fingers crossed we will hear soon.
Good Luck

Well, you've done right coming to this forum. You'll get lots of help here, as well as having a bit of a laugh like the rest of us. Everyone was in your position once, so they'll be around to help if they can.

from what i have read the tra is the worst hurdle, it does take yonks to prepare for. have you done a statutory declaration? if you have not sent it already the immigration forum is good to shout out for help from people who have same trade etc. and have been through the process.
if you have posted it, don't even go there. the waiting is bad enough without fretting that you 'only sent 7 pages and someone else sent 18'and a photo of themselves working!!!!!!
beleive me, i know.

Believe me.....you will have aload of `new mates` on here.
I now class some of them as some of my very best pals. We often meet for a drink and chin wag, I had never even heard of these people until I came on this site.

You pay $300 for normal or $500 for priority processing.
