Re: March TRA Applicants
That's what I used on my agents advice, got there no problem, if needbe it can be tracked down by giving the oz postal authorities the royal mail number.

I'm a Hairdresser, applying under 136 MODL. I've owned my own Salon for the last 8 years, had 1 previously many years ago also, had to do the usual, getting Ref from clients & suppliers & do a Stat Dec. My agent was really pleased with all the info i gathered, he said to expect a reply within 4 weeks! That's up next week, It's great the other's around my date have had pos results, if i don't here by next week (what with Easter) then i'll start worrying i think!!! I've always been impatient ha ha.
