For me mate ... I started this 2 years ago in Feb...but dont panic...theres been allot of changes to the system since July 1st 2004 and things move allot quicker now regarding the actual application... Im assumming you havent done the Tra yet then....That takes a few months...and that hasnt changed...just the application part as it were... I did leave a few months inbetween TRA pass and the application I must confess...I could have done it a bit quicker...I left a few months to go back for a second visit before shelling out the £800 fee...I recon it can now be done inside a year start to finish...application taking about 6 months of that...TRA and flim flamming about gathering info the other 6 months...this is a very rough estimation and every case is different mind...

hoops

thanks we haven`t done tra yet it will probably be done mid feb, you say 6 months for that and another 6 months for the application part

do you have a house to sell ? when are you doing that it seems people do it at the same time as the meds does this sound about right, i take it meds are done about 9 months from the tra ?
