TRA - how long did I take to hear a yes or no
How long did it take the TRA to notify you with their answer once they received your application?

No worries, we were expecting a really long wait, it was great when we got the letter within a few weeks, let us know how you go on.
All the best.

Damn! The Agent can't find our original TRA form so now we've got to sign and resend a copy - another couple of days added on to the wait
