Hi All,
The following is my case. Applied in November 2011 and received AOR in Feb 2012. Not sure, whether my case has to comply with old or new rules. I see a definite priority for our case, if it is assessed with NEW rules, since, the principal applicant in my case is my wife who has Computer Science engineering and has worked for close to 12 years now. So, if assessed with new rules, the following could be the points we get
1. Principal Applicant AOT => 12
2. Education => 10
3. Experience => 08
4. Age (if we consider today)=> 14
5. IELTS (7.5/7.5/7.5/7.5) => 5
6. Spouse Education (Engineering) => 03
7. Age (if we consider today) => 02
8. Children (2 under 12) => 08
The total for this comes to 62 and considering the Financial Status point it will be 63.
I am not consider Spouse AOT (since though i am in Computer field for the past 15 years i am a Instrumentation engineer by education). Also, not considering my French (TEFAQ result for spouse - A2 in listening and A1 in speaking). My wife, has not done any french courses.
There is a GOOD chance to get a clearance only if we are considered in the new rules. And i hope that it will be always to the advantage of the applicant. I HOPE... I HOPE.. :-(
Thanks, AMR2011
