Ive joined the TRA waiting game!
Just recieved an email from our agent to say our TRA was sent on the 14th March!
Must amit to feeling a bit nervous, its a weird feeling having your life so to speak in someone else's hands!
Our agent said to expect an answer in about 4 weeks time!
We have applied on my partner's skills an an engineer, just hope we have enclosed enough information.

Re: Ive joined the TRA waiting game!
Hi Elaine.
Were using this agent www.michaelsinglawyers.com.au we met them at the London expo last year and was impressed with them so decided to give them a go...so far so good!
Good luck for your TRA results, we should be recieving the news around the same time as each other.

Re: Ive joined the TRA waiting game!
Hi there,
Just sent off ours to the lawyer today... really anticipating his reply - i dont think I enclosed all the information, I am hoping he will fill in the gaps. My OH is a Fitter Machinist and half of his ex employers from Zimbabwe have closed down. Anyway good luck to you all.
Regards Alex

Re: Ive joined the TRA waiting game!
Hi Elaine,
We would like to settle in Perth as it is child friendly and my sister is already a PR. Its our family goal to get us all together again in one place or country. My best friend Chinelle has just immigrated, my cousin Jeremy will be doing so in August and my brother is going on sponsorship hopefully in six months or so. Then eventually my parents can come in and there we will all sit pretty in Perth.
a mouth full.... where are you going to settle?

Re: Ive joined the TRA waiting game!
We have traveled quite a bit over OZ from Melbourne, Adalide, Brisbaine, The Gold Coast, Sydney, and Cairns, we drove from Brisbaine up to Cairns 2 years ago so saw plenty of places on the way, we havent been to Perth but would consider living there as it looks lovely, my cousin is moving to Perth in a few months time, her husbants family are all out there.
We have sort of planned to live in Brisbaine as we love the city and the GC but are willing to go where the work is, we wouldnt want to live in Melbourne or Adalide though as we didnt like those cities it just didnt have that OZ spark for us.

Hi Karen
Did you go through an agent? What visa class are you going on? Where do you plan to settle and what line of work?
