Just wanted know in general how many of you out there paid to have your TRA processed and are still waiting.
We paid to have it processed quicker 6 June 2003 and are still waiting. I know that the time span has now increased to up 12 weeks if you paid and up to 18 - 20 if not (so our agent said). Anyone got any useful info? I keep onto the agent, but he says there is nothing he can do anyone had similar time scale? I just wanna be able to go back to him with some hard facts.
Cheers from a fed up

We didn't pay the extra and it came back in 6 weeks. we did ours through Go Matilda.
My brother who lives in Oz did his the same time, paid the extra and his took 8 weeks to come back.

After paying for the fastrack service our TRA application came back within three weeks, although that may be because we are being sponsered by the state of Victoria.

I sent mine and my boyfriends off at the same time. His came back in 4 weeks, mine took over 3 months! And they both came back with the same result - that we hadn't given them enough info! This time we've paid for fast track and they've had them a month.
