congrats tabs179!! i am so happy for you...
hi guys,
i have some questions regarding our cic application..
1.) my wife's ielts result already expired but when we applied for mpnp it was still valid. now that we're nominated, my question is, can my wife still use the same ielts result in applying to cic or does she need to take another ielts exam?
2.) we plan to pay the fees online. is it recommended to pay the fees ahead of time? or should we pay it closer to the day we submit our application?
thanks in advance guys... god bless...
Thanks noypi. I cannot answer no.1 question because I never did IELTS, let's wait for others to answer this for no. 2 here is my piece of advice. It is your choice, whatever is the most convenient and less stressful for you.
In my case, I paid both the visa processing and the RPRF online. Because of the following reasons: (1) Most of my savings are in a UK bank account, and if I pay separately, I will be charged twice, paying one time is cheaper and (2) when you pay your RPRF later, they accept only bank draft and I have no idea how to pay that, which will cause me extra stress to find out how these things work and I really don't like to deal with banks (particularly in the Philippines), which comes to (3) I might also need to transfer money to Philippines from UK and therefore yet another stress for me and additional cost.
So, if you are like me, then you would rather pay both at one time. And I hope that paying both will also quicken the process of my application (even for only a week or two LoL).
