About me: OK, so my Engrandish sucks rite?
OK, remember how my case officer for the permanent resident requirement me to do an English test? I wrote an appeal, which was rejected, stating reasons of policy.
I then found a clause on the immigration website that states:
"...Any waiver of the test is at the DISCRETION OF YOUR CASE OFFICER."SECOND letter of appeal!
Response... short and sweet:
Crap la... that means I have to drive all the way to Seoul (5 hours away) on a Saturday for a stupid test that I aced 9 years ago, and pay another ~ USD$180.00. I mean, how in the world does your English language deteriorate with time anyway?

man, you got some bad luck with this english test thing. first the IELTS for australia, and now this... it kinda sucks man.
guess u have no choice then..
wish u luck :P
I think a TOEFL qualification, once you get it, is only good for 8 years. My sister took hers 5 years ago and in 3 years, her English will be considered 'unqualified' hahaha.
Stupid tests are expensive and a lot of hassle to take. So I don't want to take mine until I abso-freaking-lutely have to.
Fergus/Smash: I'll try and register today and see what goes. Bummer...
Laynie: 8 years?? And yes, it's USD$180 for ONE test. It is kinda painful :(
I've come to the conclusion that the immigration department of every country tries to make as much red tape as possible for every conceivable event/situation.
Good luck.
Wow you got Honors and they asked you to do an IELTS? Must be difficult to get into Australia nowadays. It is a wonderful country to live in though. Good luck with your application.
