How would one demonstrate that he/she is capable of performing the duties? Education alone is not sufficient to prove this, applicant should show the previous employer reference letters, contracts and this can only be done if one has at-least a year of experience obviously more is better.
Be mindful that the decision is solely the discretion of the VO and the goal is to prove the VO that you are capable of performing duties. Just be practical her for one minute and think that would hire anyone who has zero experience in the felid
I had an applicant came to me few months ago and his visa was denied because the VO thought the applicant has not enough experience to demonstrate that she is capable of performing the duties.
Now, when there is no work experience requirement written in the guidelines, why does VO denied her application on the bases of lack of experience? was the VO wrong? No he was not wrong, applicant was refused right after the interview.
