Tra Refused
We are way gutted today, our whole dream of a new life for our family has just fallen apart.
We are with Go Matilda so its not as if we did it alone.
apparently there was not enough detail in the evidence we provided.
(vehicle painter - 136 MODL)
The problem is i only did 1 weeks training and then the last 7 years i have learnt in house and from true experience in my own business as i am self employed so i can't get references from employers.

We know exactly how you feel, we were in exactly the same position as you two months ago! BUT today we have just received a positive assesment from TRA on our second attempt, we were refused for the same reasons as you and have the same circumstances as you, just different occupation, hubby also running own business with no references. We asked 30 customers to give references of which 20 actually did it, we sent these and we were thrilled to get approval today.
So don't give up, spend some time and gather more info and i'm sure you'll be feeling like we are in few months time, just look on it as small hiccup.
All the Best.

can you not get statments from people you have done jobs for . to prove that you have done the things you need to do for your job as evidence?
i did fail first time. on my own then. then did decide to go with an agent.but they told me if i had a good chance or not. they looked at what i had and told me if i had a chance or not . are they apart of MARA?I i am useing VISA BUREAU. have a look on there web sight. it does feel bad when you get that letter from the TRA saying not enought evidence provided. i had it and was well pissed .
cheer up you got your family.
all the best

Anyway we passed the second time, did the main part ourselves and we are moving next month to Brisbane. So dont give up you will get there!! Pete
I have had an email from Alan Collett from Go Matilda which was nice of him and another email from Shaun Rowland as well saying Don't Panic just yet. So tommorrow is another day and all that so here we go again.
OZ is our dream and i am not going to give up without a damn good go.

GM did us absolutely no favours whatsoever and wouldn't recommend them to anyone (yeah, I know, loads of peeps out there thinks they're the canine's gonads
)... it's worth and email or phone call to him.Good luck in whatever you decide, I'm sure it'll come right for you.

We had 3 visas failed.
1st family sponsor, they let us down at last minute, too old.
Then we where going to Perth and points went up.
Then sponsored in Perth by a company, they lost a contract, so that failed.
Then we found a sponsor here in Bunbury, my hubby did pass Tra 1st time, but we did not need that to get sponsored here. Try regional sponsor, we rang 1 st company in white pages and they said YES.
2 months later we arrived and have been here 19 months.
There where times when we could have given up, but stuck in there.
We love it here.
