IELTS points

[msaleemb]

Hi friends,

I got 12 points in IELTS [L=7 (2), R=7.5(4), W=6.5(4) & S=6(2)] and my total points are 63 and I am short of 4 points. Is it possible to appeal immigration officer to consider my case?

No use. Unless you have 67 it is a no-game.

Dear Friends,
I have again taken the IETLS test and the result is;
L=7.5, R=7.5, W=7, S=7 and overall band is 7.5.
I have two questions.
1. Should I have to submit original test report to embassy?
2. Immigration officer had given me 3 months to submit the test report i.e.  September 22, 2009, but I am almost 2 months late. Do they accept it or not?

2. Immigration officer had given me 3 months to submit the test report i.e.  September 22, 2009, but I am almost 2 months late. Do they accept it or not? was september 22 the deadline for you to submit the test results? or did they requested you on september 22 to give the ielts?

September 22, 2009 was the deadline to submit the IELTS test report.

Hi Akram,

I am also from Pakistan. I got 7.5 in my third attempt. In first test, I got 6.5 and then 7.0.
You are saying that your total points are 70, it's a good news as for immigration required points are 67.

thanks

below is my points estimate:

Education 20 ( 1 Bsc diploma, 17yr study)

English 12 (Listening 7, Speaking 7, Writing 6, Reading 6.5)

Experience 21 ( 10+ yrs)

Age 10 ( 36 y/o)

Adaptability 4 (spouse got 3 yr diploma, 15 yr study)

My agent told me to resit the English test as it is not high enough. could you tell why

Hi,

My entire Education was in English and I am working in US for past 5 years. Should I write a letter to immigration explaining my career details or should I appear for IELTS. If yes, then can anyone give me the details as from where I have to give the test and the details?

Hi Meena,

Welcome to forum, you didn't mention about your country of origin, lets simplified it, If you are not born in a country where English is native language you have to take the English equivalent (IELTS). If you were born in US you will not need to take any test to prove your English, although u can include a covering letter stating this and fact US educated - just to make sure!

But If English is not you first language you definitely have to do IELTS it doesn't matter if you need the points or not .If u been living in US for 18 years , having Green Card holder done some courses in UK and USA and still have to pass the test.

But for French u need to take the test must, TEF test cost 120 pounds at the Alliance Francaise but make it confirm here in US.
In US IELTS fees is 185$, u can look details at http://www.abroadeducation.com.np/test-preparation/ielts/test-centers.php?Nation=USA
Hope this works., All the best.
Cheers!

Hi,
General ofcourse for Immigration, though their are plenty of websites on the net, but i found following 3 very helpful to get the touch;
http://www.docstoc.com/search/ielts-sample-test/
http://www.aippg.com/ielts/ielts-downloads.htm
http://elc.polyu.edu.hk/ielts/  (The best)
But i will recomend you to buy the Cambridge IELTS preparation books, they are really helpful and CDs are of great help for Listening indeed. As u are in US, IELTS will be a piece of cake and above sites will be helpful but do some practice before appearing, I myself being very much confident, but the IELTS result really astonished me. Any way all the best!

Cheers!
