Thanks for the response. But does it mean the overall Band has no affect on the scoring? I no of someone who had an overall band of 6.5(meaning he had a couple of 5.5's,6.0 and 7.5 speaking) and was able to claimed 16 points. Got his Visa November 2010
oh dear for visa achieving no need to get 16 points in language, you have to get total 67 in various sector, such as education, job experience, language, adaptability, job arrangement, age, and so on.
