Question:
Dear Captain Qorax,
While I was reading this thread from the start, I came across this quote from you, which worried me a lot. My total points are 68 but I scored in the ielts 5.5. Do you think my english score can get me in a problem, or the visa officer may reject my application because of it?
Replied:
Yes, that's a below borderline score... Dangerous.
CIO doesn't "assess" our case...
They just check the completeness of the application & supporting docs & see if the NOC is correct - then issue PER/NER. It is the VO who performs anything & everything thereafter.
5.5 might not necessarily cause a rejection - but makes our case very weak, which could double-up as a detrimental tweak if the IO finds other issues.
Dear friend
i am in a deep trouble. i have got my PER in November but my IELTS score is 5.5 and my overall score for immigration purpose is 67. do u think tht my application will get rejected at the VO stage. whts ur opinion.
