Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / September 2007

Hi everyone, we've just started the migration process and already I'
pretty downhearted. Initially we were encouraged by the fact that m
husband's trade (roof tiler and slater) is in demand, and assumed tha
would make the process quicker and easier for us, but I'm confuse
already.

We've sent off our application to the TRA (sent 13th Sept) and althoug
the website says 10 working days, from reading all your posts it look
as if it's much longer than that. Is this correct?

Has anyone applied for and STNI visa for WA? How long did it take?

And do I have to make an entirely separate application as a spouse?

I'm considering getting an agent because there is so much informatio
out there, it's blowing my mind! One minute I think I know what we nee
to do, the next minute I read something that conflicts - AARRRGGGH! W
just want to get there as soon as possible!

Would be grateful for any shared experiences relating to the abov
questions!

Thanks,

Christin
