Hello guys!
First of all I wish all applicants good luck with their applications.
I am applying for 186 ENS - TRS, on the 5th of February 2017, this is when I will complete my 2nd year with my employer. Everything is ready and all the necessary documents are gathered.
I got 2 questions, first one is IELTS related. Now that the IELTS test results are valid for 3 years, I am OK until 14.07.2017 as I took my test back in July 14th 2014 and scored well above the requirement for this particular visa type.
I got 2 friends who applied for the same visa type and got it within 6 to 8 months. As far as I can see in the posts, you guys also confirm that.
1) The question is, I will apply in February the 5th, my IELTS will be ok then, however it will take say 6 to 8 months for me to get the visa (if all goes all right) and my IELTS Test result will expire while my application is in progress ( I don’t think I will get it earlier than July 14th…), so will DIAC ask me to re-sit the exam?
Or, because it was valid in the time of the application, I will be fine???
2) Does my employer have to wait 2 years as well, in order to submit the nomination?
Your replies will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
