TRA Referral
After waiting 12 weeks fast track for our TRA we have been contacted by our Agent to say that the TRA are now referring it to another committee!!!
Anyone out there had the same problem?? We can only assume it is because of Grahams South African qualifications, mind you what that has to do with it we dont know as there are many other SA out there!!(Graham is a qualified industrial electrician served apprenticeship and industrial board of mining recognised all over the world and been working in the UK for the same company for 7 years and has worked his way up to a supervisor ).
Any ideas anyone - our agents reckons we've just been unlucky and been randomly picked for further investigation????
Bad luck seems to be following us these last few weeks!! As Lynn and Di on this site will understand.
Someone say a nice little prayer for us.
We have now been told that they will be looking at our case 21 October!!!! Everyone keep your fingers crossed this is worse than waiiting for the visa and we haven't even got that far yet.

Re: TRA Referral
Maybe we should contact the SA community in Duncraig to see if they had any problems!!
Have a wonderful week in Wild Wales, make sure the kids make use of the "entertainment facilities". Don't forget my shaggin sheep postcard!
