Her listening and reading marks are too poor,i guess she has to sit again. If your agent gives u 100% guarantee that her IELTS will do then he is telling this only for his business purpose.

Below is IELTS Test Score equivalncy chart which states against what score of yours you will get how many points:

Language: English

Listening / Reading / Writing / Speaking :You get following points
7.5 to 9.0 Bands / 6.5 to 9.0 Bands / 6.5 to 9.0 Bands / 6.5 to 9.0 Bands : 4
5.5 to 7.0 Bands / 5.0 to 6.0 Bands / 5.5 to 6.0 Bands / 5.5 to 6.0 Bands : 2
4.5 to 5.0 Bands / 3.5 to 4.5 Bands / 4.0 to 5.0 Bands / 4.0 to 4.0 Bands : 1
Less than 4.5 / Less than 4.5 / Less than 4.5 / Less than 4.5 : 0

Assume your IELTS score for Listening is 4, Reading is 5.5, Writing is 5 and Speaking is 8, so you get score of 0+2+1+4 = 7

Hope above is clear to you... Wish you all the best.

Hello Seniors and Experts in this forum,

I would like to ask these few things;

1. Do we need to have passport for each members of our family even if they are not accompanying? My mother will not be accompanying me, however she will have problem getting passport due to discrepancies in name and right now it takes 3 months to get passport in Philippines cuz we are transitioning to a new electronic passport. My mom will probably take 1 month correcting her name and 3 months getting passport----I am 95% ready with my docs and ready to submit to CIO.........but if I will wait for my mom's passport, I maybe lodging next year. I'm worried of the quota and I want to lodge as fast.

2. Is it okay if my settlement fund will be half cash and half asset? Can any third party assess my property's value, like a private assessment company?

Your insights will be highly appreciated.

You only send to CIO, they will assess and forward to Visa office. (if it is the first time, later you need to send only to visa office )

Hi

Your post has a ambiguous wording..
what you meant to say was that we need to send the docs only 1 time and too only to the CIO and not to the VO as per the new process after June 26 2010

I don't think so. I think it has to be only post-secondary, i.e., tertiary diplomas and transcripts. I am not sure, I may have sent in a copy of my secondary certificate because it indicates English first language.

Hi Maaties,

I have a question about applying before June 26th. My docs were delivered on June 1st to CIO. My card was charged on August 8th for the amount. But yesterday I got my application back as incomplete. My NOC was 1111 so I know it is no longer in the list. Does this mean my application is done or should I resend the missing docs? I did not include a background declaration for my spouse :-\ :-[ ??? Thanks for your answer!
