Lexx Posted February 8, 2016 Share Just a Quick Question? are the IELTS Compulsory? Because I've got a friend that is busy with his application and he said that the IELTS isn't necessary or Compulsory? But i'm reading here now that people study hard for it? Is he missing something?

I believe its a way of scoring extra points if you don't have enough points... not sure if its compulsory tho might depend on the type of visa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
intern Posted February 8, 2016 Share So today is my last official day at work. It also happens to be the day I get an email from my immigration agent saying that my medical records were referred for further assessment, thus adding 6-10 weeks to the immigration process. I phoned the doctor's office to see why. They said all tests and bloods were fine. TB x-ray was also fine, BUT the radiologist noted some of my 'titanium upgrades' which I have accumulated over the years. It seems that INZ are quite particular about such things and even though the doctor said they weren't an issue, they just want to come to the same conclusion themselves. So... luckily the workload at our firm is huge, and I have been asked to stay on as a consultant/contractor until I leave. Also lucky is that my NZ employer had a similar issue when he applied for his permanent residence (he is originally from the UK), so he is completely understanding that I won't be there in time for my start date. Public service here tends to overestimate turnaround times so they can beat the expectations of customers. So if something can be expected to take a week, it usually happens in 2 or 3 days - that way, you're happy and their SLA is well met.

Not a fan of fishing. Love swimming and Crawlies of the sea, Diving, Snorkeling all Great! Fishing ranks at the bottom of my list. Hows the whole spear fishing thing there maybe one could try that rather? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
