Hi docmd,docmd said:Thanks a lot for your valuable reply.
Does it mean I should be okay if I can submit all documents before 1st Sep (Wed). (Just an assumed target date.....!!!)
Your docs should reach by 1st September so that they have 2 days (assuming) to enter your application onto their system.
Once it is entered then that is "LOCK IN "date for your application. After that it depends on the VO to open your documents at any time and even though your IELTS validity will be over but it still is valid because of the LOCK IN date.
Hope that makes sense.
