piccolo Posted February 15, 2012 Report Share Posted February 15, 2012 Has anyone submitted a TRA assessment recently? I'm just trying to get an idea of how long they're taking at the moment. We'll be sending ours off on Friday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixroxy Posted February 19, 2012 Report Share Posted February 19, 2012 Has anyone submitted a TRA assessment recently? I'm just trying to get an idea of how long they're taking at the moment. We'll be sending ours off on Friday. Hi, My understanding is, at the moment TRA applications are taking up to and possibly over 4 months to process . I sent mine mid January and received confirmation it was recieved dated 3rd Feb. I'm now basically thinking i wont hear anything else till at least the end of May! I really hope they get their asses in gear over there! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piccolo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 oh my god you're joking?!! Jesus I thought it was 2 months, we'll never get to Oz at this rate! We'll have no money left! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phoenixroxy Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 no, im not joking i'm afraid, theres a thread over on poms in oz, there are people who submitted their application in october and are still waiting............

Guest cazmayo Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi was reading it was about 3 months??? Its says on their website upto 60 days,but I read somewhere they have lost alot of staff?? Hopefully they will get positions filled fast and start clearing this huge backlog. Kind Regards Cazmayo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
piccolo Posted February 20, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 God we were really hoping to be out in Oz by July/Aug but we can't apply for our 176 til the TRA comes back. Can't seem to get a 457 either. It's all a catch 22 eh? My redundancy money was to finance the move but it looks like I might have to live off it instead until we get a visa!!

Guest davidomz Posted February 20, 2012 Report Share Posted February 20, 2012 Hi. We sent ours off beginning Feb and received confirmation letter with our TRA number today,date on letter was 15th Feb. Letter states usual approx processing time is within 60 working days but the possibility of influx of applications there could be delays but check news updates on their site. Someone on poms in oz called them re their application and told delays due to staff shortages and only at Oct 11 applicants. Obviously I'm hoping for average turn around as we still have state sponsor to do before lodging our 176 GSM visa and hopefully before 1st July when things change. Not going to get our hopes up as know we can't rush them and I believe if its for you it won't go by you. Fingers crossed though as we want to get out there asap as construction industry dying here in our area and hubby will be lucky to have job in summer! Good luck everyone.
