TRA waits no more
Back from the holiday from hell in France to be told the Trades has been approved.
Can't believe it but yes they have finally got their act together and said my hubbie John can tile the ozzie way.
The France trip was fine until the journey home where we broke down and spent 9 and a half hours on towing lorries.
But all that is forgotten we are on the final approach.

Hi Sally
Congratulations.
We got ours yesterday and had a positive assessment.
We did have a bit of bad news with our deeming date though.
It just means that we can't apply for sponsorship until Xmas.
Well done
Graham

Re: TRA waits no more
Congratulations on getting your TRA thru. Can I ask how long it has taken. My hubbie is a painter and decorator and we sent his skills assessment off in May. Haven't heard anything yet other than an acknowledgement of receipt and a letter saying don't call us, we will contact you!!
Getting a bit anxious now as it has been a while.
Cheers.
