Well we had an email back form go matilda 'I cannot guarantee a successful application' and 'your case is somewhat complex and difficult' Thats basically what it said. God I feel as if we've failed before we've started!

Why does he need a statement from his employer, which trades is he in.

There's been a few toolmakers on here can't you get advice from them, I'm sure they'd be willing to help

thats tough hilary and im really sorry but dont give up. pm bridiej because if it is simply a case of "title" of profession cant you just ask employer's to tweak it a little? if duties and tasks etc are the same there must be a way round it?

Re: tra
Hi Hilary
First of all, dont panic. Second time round our agent said things were dodgy as to whether we would pass as we'd already applied once under a different ASCO code.
First time round we applied as toolmaker (husband actually a CNC engineer but toolmaker seemed the best fit at the time) but our reference didnt state toolmaker so we failed!
Second time round we applied as Metal Machinist 1st Class and made sure this was on the reference - passed!
Make sure when you apply your husband's job ref states "Template Maker (also known as Toolmaker)" or words to that effect, that's what we did second time round and was all OK.
Will send you some k
