pommi1 Posted May 29, 2015 Report Share Posted May 29, 2015 hi everyone I've just submitted my trades skills assessment for my 189 visa here in oz and curious if anyone knows the processing times or if you can get it fast tracked? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pommi1 Posted June 4, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 4, 2015 Hi susanbro, Im a pipe fitter by trade but I'm over here in oz on a 457 visa and they have me down as a metal fabricator so thats what I've had to do my skills assessment. I think my assessing body is TRA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its TRA then you have a full 60 working days i.e 12 weeks before it comes back. As you can see from my signature they kept to that time. As far as I'm aware unless there is a job offer there that could be used to help speed it up but other than that. no. We tried and they sent us info from FAQ's in response, they just copy and pasted them lol xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pommi1 Posted June 5, 2015 Author Report Share Posted June 5, 2015 60 days? will that depend on if you applying within australia or not? I've put a fast track letter in so ill see where that gets me and ill just keep phoning them. I spoke to them 3 times last week so they should know who i am by now.

susanbro Posted June 9, 2015 Report Share Posted June 9, 2015 I think it's 60 days regardless of where you are but I couldn't be sure. Good luck xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck with your IELTS. We've managed to get sponsorship in the meantime and submitted a week ago - fingers crossed we hear soon. I see you're in Fremantle, we're thinking of heading there, what's it like? xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knowing our luck this will happen at the one time lol xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
