TRA Skills Assesment Expiration Date?

[Cookie_Monster]

Hi,
I'm new in this forum, and all the information I've recently collected from here has been extremely useful! Thanks to evreybody, 1st of all.

Now, my question is...
My husband had received a succesful TRA Skills Assessment Outcome Letter in Apr. 14, 2010 for a General Plumber 4431-11
We've started to collect all other require documentation for the main application (Visa Subclass 175) and in the middle of the process we've found out the have suspended the online applications until June 30, 2010
So, I wanted to know if this will affect the validity of the TRA SKILLS ASSESSMENT succesful approval, since we will have to wait until the ban ends.

I've looked up for this information, but did't have any luck. So I was wondering if anyone could give me a hand.

Thank you very much!!!

As of now it is applicable till June 30th but nothing can be said about DIAC. I think the assessment authorities will have to give an extension in cases wehre the same expires (I am not sure how it would work but they should work something out for those who were on a borderline and will have to bear the cost again). Wait till a fortnight, i am sure the changes expected will be out soon and things will be clearer..
