Re: IELTS Test

Re: how do open a bank account in oz without being a PR

When I was travelling I walked in to ANZ and opened an account on the spot. They delivered the cards to the branch for me and that was that. I still have the account now (savings account so I...

Re: Certified documents or Colour copies

If the colour copies are good enough then obviously they won't know they were not originals and you would not have to certify them. But I have to ask, if you have colour copies then I would assume...

Re: Help - so confused, too many options!

Thank you all,

I think that this has cleared things up in my mind. No one seemed to suggest it was going to make any difference to the application or that it was a stupid idea. Just need to get...

Re: Help - so confused, too many options!

I have thought about this, but it costs over £600 and takes 14 weeks to get it sorted. As she already has an EU passport it just doesn't seem worth it. Lets just hope I can get a 7 on all sections...

Re: Surname issues

Thanks, I will look in to that one, hadn't thought about trying that route, but anything that means I don't have to resubmit all those forms has got to be worth it.
