Hi Qorax and Biju
Firstly I would like to thank you for all the hard work you have putin and i trust you guys need recognition from CIC for doing such a great Job.Heads off to you.I am a very silent member and have read some of your post.It gives every one a great confidence and keep up the good work.
Another question for you..I have applied under FSW on 11th Jan 2010 in Dubai and my status went In process this Feb 2011.Below post in CIC website gives me an impression that if the status is in Process it means all is well in your file and process has started.However i read so many post and they say process starts only when they mention we start processing your application on so and so date...Please clarify as i have bit confusion with my education points......In addition please may I ask how many point they award for 10+2 and three year diploma in Hotel Management from National Council of HM in India ( it is a Course with Practicals , full time diploma )
Thanks
