Hi pantaiema,

My TOEFL score is less than 2 years old.

Chances are bleak, but I am hoping against hope for a positive review.

Thanks for your wishes.

Cheers!

Dear CD~

am claiming 35 points for my masters degree also confirmed by NARIC... i need to know whether i can

send only my Master Degree Award Certificate??

or

Both, my Masters Degree Cert and my Bachelors?

a dilemma to me cos I dont actually hold a Bachelores degree, instead i hold a Government Diploma and i was exceptionally accepted for my masters because of my work.

J,

I sumitted my PG degree (only)and that was accepted (points awarded: 35).

I think you too should not create any complexities for the case-worker by mentioning any details about your UG studies. keep it simple, just send the PG Degree.

All the best!

Oh thanks CD~

Just read one post where someone sent Bachelors and Masters and his case was turned down due to bachelors being not relevant. hence this confusion.

am worrying too much as day nears.
you received your docs yet?

Hey J,

I understand. The plan should be to submit just the appropriate documents asked for. Guidelines speifically ask for Masters Degree ONLY.

No news about m documents yet, I am nervous now. Its raining cats and dogs in Mumbai. I just pray that I get my documents intact.

Cheers!

yeah CD roger that, but nervousness and panicky nature tends to overlook the clearly mentioned facts...

I know its pouring real bad in Bombay, I join you in your pray for your docs to be in tact.

best luck with yor review!!!

Papers have finally come.

The reason for refusal is as follows:

"Your TOEFL comprises of three sections: Reading, listening, writing. For it to be equivalent to IELTS, we would require an additional SPEAKING section testing."

So I don't stand a chance in the review as well. I think I should better write IELTS.

I wonder what are the options for vocally dumb (mute) Higly Skilled individual???

All,
I would advise getting a letter as advised in guidance than appearing for a toefl and tse..

TOEFL alone is not sufficient.. TSE is also required.

DD & J,

Have you received your HSMP approvals?

I'm the one having problems with the master's degree not being accepted for 35 points. (I only sent the master's degree when I applied for HSMP. I have no idea how they determined my bachelor degree was not in the same subject!?)

I'm trying to have my master's assessed by NARIC, but I'm not sure if it will successful since I just received an e-mail from them asking for a faxed copy of my bachelor's degree. (BTW, my bachelor's is in Geology and the master's is in Information Systems.)

If you or anyone on this forum has any suggestions, I'm all ears...

Thanks!!
