Is our agent dragging their heels?
Hi, we sent out TRA application to our agent on the 5th November. They assessed our application and said all was in order except that they recommended another stat dec, which we did and sent to them, they received that by 30th November. It's been another 10 days and they haven't sent it onto TRA yet. Is it me or is this taking along time? Surely once they received the stat dec it was just a matter of putting it in an envelope and sending it all on?!

Yes, I think they're taking their time, can't see why they didnt post it as soon as they received the paperwork!
I'd chase them up if I were you, after all it's your money they're taking!!!!

Just curious to compare costs...

Re: Is our agent dragging their heels?
Just send them a polite e-mail to ask what the situation is.
We all want our skills assessment results back ASAP as we are all a little impatient, but we must understand that our agents have other clients too.
I would prefer my agent to take a few extra days to check that my info is correct that i am sending in rather than rushing it thru without checking.
Just trying to see both sides.

My agent took 12 days from receiving my info, to sending it to the TRA.
Hope that helps

Re: Is our agent dragging their heels?
It does seem a long time if they've just got to check one stat dec though...
I wouldnt worry too much as I think TRA are closed for a week or so over Xmas so it won't make a huge difference but I'd def chase them up.

Re: Is our agent dragging their heels?
Yes definatly closed for a week. Another week to add on.
Mind you, as they have got such a back log, they should be working over the xmas/new year break
