Ray of hope - FSW - 1

[Pyruvate1]

even if they invite 3900 fsw every two weeks, processing time will take more than 6 months. in any case, no one is expecting any fsw candidate to land in.

Exactly my point. I just hope next draw is FST or all program

 

[Issygn]

I ve thought about this in every possible way... and all the angle points towards unfairness to fsw candidates.... but I guess there’s nothing we can do... their country.. their rules.. I just kinda feel bad for putting so much effort in this...

Well..... you shouldn’t that bad buddy. We don’t know what they intend doing at the moment but it’s a good thing that they have conducted a draw at the moment and we hope they continue.

it’s all surprises these days and why not. We might see a surprise that might favor you too so get yourself together and see what happens next.

So 2,000 additions above 470+, shouldnt this be like a pent up demand wherein people have fast tracked submission of their profiles after the FSW draw came on 8th July and everyone expected a similar outcome today. This should ideally slow down right?

	19th July	6th July	Addition/(Reduction)
601-1200	383	360	23
501-600	183	652	-469
491-500	148	483	-335
481-490	347	1,600	-1,253
471-480	4,720	4,561	159
461-470	8,527	7,468	1,059
Total of 460 Above	14,308	15,124
Total of 470 Above	5,781 (A)	7,656
Less : ITA's issued on 8th July		3,900
Total Above 470 less ITAs issued		3,756 (C)
Addition in 470 Above (A-C) post previous draw	2,025

Is learning French too difficult for a complete beginner? How much time will it take approximately to study well enough to get a decent score in TEF or TCF? Can anybody share their experience?

I doubt so. there are some things you just can’t rush fast enough in 2 weeks, so the rate of inflow of high scoring candidates should be normal

Attention anyone interested on learning French!
I have used this app, and has helped tremendously, do the Premium so you can have a study plan that can allow you to grow up to a B2 level:

I guess there was a small jump, but with this draw, should put off some of those people until there another FSW draw

Thanks a lot! Were you a beginner? How much time did it take you to get to B2?

Took one beginner class before, but the app starts you from 0, and you can even do a test to see where you stand. As far as B2, the least it can take is around 6 months, but you have to get the premium (7 usd month aprox). That link I sent allows you to have 30 days for free, so you can check it out!
It really has been great help!

I have duolingo as well, but I feel is more for casual learning. I combine both of them, free Duolingo and Premium Busuu

No. 2,000 per fortnight was the indicated trend for more than a month now. Those who were speculating pool entry to be much less than that and saying the score would crash to the lower 460s was just misleading people. I hope people don't sit still waiting for those imaginary days and instead try to increase their score.

 

[le_sirop_derable]

2000 new applicants above 470 and by next 2 weeks it will be 4000...
Oh my god.....
No crs score is safe for fsw now!
Was never expecting this....!!!

If I would bet on anything, H1-B holders fleeing America are the bulk of it.

And did you appear for a French Test then?

Waiting for the test center to open again in my city. Once it open, I'll would likely take it if I haven't got an ITA yet with my 478
