i sent my application off to the tra about 3 weeks ago and i've heard nothing no e-mail nothing.is this normal? does it take longer than 3 weeks? its just that it said on the tra website that if your trade was on the modl it tries to process your applicaton in 10 days.

if anyone is currently appling can you let me know how your gettig on.

thanks

The TRA has been undergoing changes lately, I would hazard a guess that they are currently doing their best and you should be patient.

From previous posts you're looking at around 4 - 8 weeks including postage time.

MAybe they are trying to wheedle out all the applications using pathway D so they can return them straight away or maybe they got snowed under with applications before the changes on the 1st Sept. I think the process takes awhile though but hopefully someone who has been through it will let you know.

Hi we did tra ourselves, self employed, sent on 16th of August DHL Courier, arrived in oz on the 21st of August signed for. Haven't heard anything yet. Been told by others you get acknowledged by a letter from tra! unless you have agent then they send u email. This is usually sent two weeks after your tra in and then usually you get a result after a month. Due to loads of people sending their tras in all at once as some skills now been assessed by vetassses, joiners, plumbers etc,
there is probably a backlog.

Our TRA took 6 weeks to arrive and that is on MODL.

We received no email. Just an acknowledgement that it had been received and then the letter saying we had passed.

My TRA application, 136 SIR non-MODL was sent on 10th August and received on the 14th. My agent received a letter saying I had failed mine on 5th September so only 3 weeks to process.

The changes affect any applications that they haven't processed yet.
