IELTS and Graduate visa, Pleassssse help
 

hello to everyone

I need a piece of advice. In IELTS I have scored 7 all together but couldn’t achieved the desired score in each module. I need at least 5 in each. Instead I got 8, 4.5:eek:, 7, 8.5

I am about to apply for my graduate visa, I’am not sure whether I am eligible to apply with this score. I have tried to book for tests but couldn’t get the dates available till April. My student visa is running out on 15th of March.

Please advice me what I do. Is there any bridging visa thingy for graduate visa? so mean while I could give exam and than apply for it.

Thanks to all
Nim

How many points do you have without the test?

Re: IELTS and Graduate visa, Pleassssse help
 

I guess at least 6 in each module is required .. and you have 4.5 in one .. so I think you may have to repeat your IELTS..

*** Its my personal view, please consult with someone else ***

Only if the points are needed, assuming you are a british passport holder that is.

well for sure I am reapplying for test but the problem is availability of dates.
pumpkin luckily this visa hasn't any point system; its for OZ students who fulfill the requirement of 2 years to gain extra experience to qualify for PR.

I' am from European country that means IELTS test a must for me well I didn't gave enough to my reading section and this holiday season delaying me further.
Thanks anyways and marry Christmas to every one.

Dear Nimra,

No that score is insufficient for most general skilled migration applications and I would suggest you obtain urgent professional advice about doing your IELTS in Darwin or Auckland if closer centres are booked out.

Cheers,

If you hold the passport from one of the countires then you don't need the IELTS .....

United Kingdom (UK)
Canada
New Zealand
United States of America (USA)
Republic of Ireland.

If you want to get extra points then do IELTS

Please confirm above comments from some one else too

Not to be funny, but why do you need those comments confirmed? That info is on the immigration website, just follow the link you posted.

I was wondering my question is quite misinterpreted. I am not asking for IELTS score for any point system!. I am only concerning here for bridging visa and my graduate visa issue which I think is quite evident from my question, and I haven't posted any link it was from other other member who replied me!!!


Mr. George Lombard,

Thanks for your response I am doing my best to get test dates, mean while I called today to immigration and was told before my visa expires I can apply for tourist visa (which is work restricted) and give my IELTS exam in April's first available date and then I could straight away apply for my graduate visa. For some reasons tourist visa is a Big NO NO for me. I would certainly prefer to seek a professional advice at this stage, feeling like at the verge of loosing whole hard work, wonderful achieved results in my course studies. I am in a profession I need 5 in all components.

Thanks
Nim
