Knight, if you are confident your application will be approved, its advisable to apply for IELTS right now in order not to waste time. Otherwise, you might delay the process by the visa office waiting for your application.
i am confident but i know my fortune as well which shows the back at the elevent hour. 2nd dates are not available right now i have to wait till feb or march.
Well, the only update I have at my end is, I received my IELTS score today and I got total band of 8. Hopefully I should get all 16 points for language.
How did you came to know that your application is received and signed by my Leo Burns...Did you send by courier? coz I send by speed mail since 17, Nov...I am worried if they gonna send it to me by email already by AOR, I know its different cases...
Yes, I sent the application by courier where I asked courier for signature requirement of receiver. So, when I track online for to see the delivery of application in the courier website, I saw signed as receiver as LEO BURNS.
If you have written email address on the application, CIO will sent your AOR in your email address, so that you don't have bother about mail.
JCU, if I understood you correctly, you sent your application to CIO on November 17 and you did not mention your email address on the envelope but, you mentioned it in the application right? If thats what it is then, you won't receive your AOR atleast until January 15 and it may take upto Jan 31, 2010. With regards to the email ID, you don't have to mention this on the envelope. What you did is right. As long as you mention your email address in the application, you should receive email with regards to the AOR. Hope this helps.
