hi mitali,
i got confused here. i just read one of your reply to someone. i sent my application on 23rd april. but as far as i knew i wasnt supposed to send my ielt result with the doc to cio cos they specifically mentioned that. but i did give my IELTS test later and i got a band of 7.5 which is the maximum score by far. now here u are saying that we shouldve sent the result to the CIO wat the hell is this. why so much confusion??? they had specifically mentioned on the forms stating please do not send your results to CIO... man this is crazy... one more thing...i had first sent my application on 3rd march but it was returned later cos one of my silly mistakes. then i resent the application whci hthey received on 23rd april... please clarify what do i do with my IELTS result now...
Hi Sidra,
You are fine. Dont worry.
Before 10th of April, the option available to the applicants were:
1. Have the IELTS score in hand
2. Send a detailed letter to VO to convince him that you are "Proficient in English"
Applicants sending applications After 10th April:
1. VO will not give you a chance to prove your English proficiency (ie by requesting you to take a IELTS test) in case you send your application without IELTS score. He will basically make his judgement based on what supporting docs you have sent him in addition to the Letter of English proficiency.
Now, you were NOT supposed to send IELTS result to CIO. To take the IELTS test was only meant for you so that you can get a better picture regarding how much points you could get for Language and not be surprised if VO decided to mark you less than what you had wanted incase you had just sent a "Proficiency in English" letter.
When you send your FULL docs to VO, attach your IELTS result.
You scared me for a moment as I thought I gave wrong info..
Take care.
Mitali
