Sent it off in May and got it back fastracked about 7 weeks later. Good Luck. :) |

Never did he have anyone visit him to watch what he does, he just had to write it all out in detail then along with all the references etc., he sent them off (a pile of paperwork) to our agent who then forwarded it all to the TRA in Australia! how long have you been a carpet fitter? are you not using an agent? regards rach :confused: |
To my knowledge they don't hot foot it over here to watch you work!!!:D
I did mine 2 years ago, and as a self employed person it was tricky, but not too much of a problem. You can download the forms from here www.immi.gov.au and they basically tell you, step by step, what to include and how much info they require etc. Good luck with it all.:) |

Re: tra stories please
Originally posted by matthewsavin can anyone tell me some tra stories please and costs thanks Im a self employed electrician and because of that i had to send alot more info than if i was employed i sent in all my accounts, letters from customers,wholesalers, certificates etc there were 100s of sheets all of which had to be signed by a solicitor I also paid a bit extra to have mine fast tracked because my 35th birthday was looming and 5 points lost $500 dollars for the assessment plus the agents fees which i cant remember at the moment but thier help was much appreciated i heard back really quickly about 10 days cheers mark |
Hi Matt,
We too have gone with OE. They said to us too that there might be the possibility of having to have the Aussie guy come over to assess my fellas work too, but we have been passed to Tony Coates ( based at Cork, Ireland ) as he is a specialist in recognition of prior learning and he sorted it out for us. We have also had a guy in Perth, Au, to help us with getting the TRA references and form drafted etc. This has all been inclusive of OE's fees. Wait and see what they say before you panic too much. We thought " oh my god " it's going to cost us a packet ontop of OE's fees but it's been fine. |
