LOL Would you mind giving any reason for that ? ETS was an approved qualification till 1st July 2014.whoever has done or was involved in doing the ETS english test shall be sent back home.
Number of factors or one of those could be involvedthe only question posed to these people shall be. 'why did you do a toeic test when you could have done ielts?
If you have spare time then please go ahead and do that. Do not forget to post the survey results hereit takes the same time and it is worldwide accepted. why take a test (toeic) which no one knows of?
go on the street and ask people about ets toeic and ielts. one will know which is better.
Not everyone who actually sit for the test. But the management who did not bother to record and upload the original candidate's voice but a pre recorded voice.from what was seen on tv and read on the forums, everyone involved in this KNEW that they are cheating the system.
Leave it to UKVI. They already doing this so you shudnt be bothered at all. Just pray for your own application that is still pending with UKVI. (Wish you good luck, I even wish you dont be a victim of that SCRUTINY )Because of these students who are originally Economic Migrants rather than Genuine Students; must be sent back home on the first flight so that genuine students do not come under scrutiny.
Totally disagree, after this scam the only change is to interview students that I believe should be the 1st step towards admission.because of this scam, admissions process has gone tough, immigration matters have gone more complex, everything is just getting more complex day by day.
I assure you these complex immigration matters are not because of this matter. It is same since 2004 at least.a student is involved in more immigration matters rather than study which is only because of these things.
Totally agree. Not only who took the test but those who arranged or helped arranging those fake tests.there should have been a hardline taken on this. home office is still doing less in terms of removing those involved.
approved qualification does not mean that it was monitored by the HO 24/7. ETS failed to monitor the malpractices and discrepancies (which is a duty as a test provider), therefore as a result the ETS was withdrawn from the Approved list.searoze wrote:LOL Would you mind giving any reason for that ?

according to the initial reports 50,000 results were questionable. i wonder how many more there would be if proper search is done.searoze wrote: "On 10 June 2014 a change to the Immigration Rules and Nationality Regulations to remove
ETS from the approved list of English language test suppliers was laid before Parliament.
This will come into effect on 1 July 2014".
Please see here
If you say "who ever done or was involved in deception shall be sent back home" seems fair to me
available dates and centres? please do your research i would say. follow this link and you would know that IELTS has 48 exams a year and 4 tests every month. results in 2 weeks (even on the internet, a service which TOEIC did not have)searoze wrote:Number of factors or one of those could be involvedaaliya1986 wrote: the only question posed to these people shall be.

Available dates and centres
Fee
Passport as ID (one cannot sit for IELTS with out a valid passport).
i have done my research and know the results. if you want to do yours, please do so to know the truth. and stop saying that it was accepted by the UKVI that is why people did it. are people not responsible to find out about the test before doing it? just like buying a product without knowing about it. or on a contrary buying a product by paying a premium because they know it is a GUARANTEED passsearoze wrote:If you have spare time then please go ahead and do that.

So Simple, It was accepted by the UKVI (before 1st July 2014) so no point to argue " Why take test TOEIC "
not everyone? do you really think so that who cheated did not know that they paid money (£500, BBC Panorama) to GET passed?searoze wrote:Not everyone who actually sit for the test.

i am not concerned about my application. i am not an economic migrant but a genuine student who does not even work.searoze wrote:Leave it to UKVI.

universities always took/take interview from students before admission/cas issuance.searoze wrote:Totally disagree, after this scam the only change is to interview students that I believe should be the 1st step towards admission.aaliya1986 wrote: because of this scam, admissions process has gone tough, immigration matters have gone more complex, everything is just getting more complex day by day.
since 2004? are you serious that immigration has been tough since 2004? please check ONS statistics for immigration, you will know the immigration levels. and compare the RULES for immigration of now and 2004. you will see how difficult has it gone.searoze wrote:I assure you these complex immigration matters are not because of this matter.

I have applied for my naturalization on 27/5/2014, still waiting for decision to be cleared as at 30/12/2014. I have been in UK as a overseas student since 2002. During extension of my visa in March 2012 my application was supported by TOIEC and ESOL.
I also used those certificates for my ILR application. My naturalization was supported only by ESOL because TOIEC got expired after 2 years. Now I came to know that TOIEC under investigation by HO since June 2014 onward. So far I have not received anything from HO apart from acknowledgment letter.
I would be very grateful if someone reply me who has the same experience.
Thanks

Hello AlObie wrote:Unfortunately UKBA are targeting both past and present beneficiary of ETS.
They are claiming they used deception in a previous application and hence face an automatic ban.
That is my major concern.
They can simply ask all this people to re take their exam again, but rather than that, they are simply refusing , rounding up and detaining people.

In other words, two years after you take your test, your score will be deleted from the official ETS database, and ETS will not send you another report of your score. If you still have a copy of your original score, you can ask the university whether they will accept it, but most universities will not accept a copy from you; .

You are right. After 2 years ETS does not retain u data. Im in same situation. Bt i haven't applied yet. I planinng to apply april 2015 with IELTS.
My certificate was expired mid of 2014.. When he did his toiec? Was it after October 2011?
i deception is proved in any of the previous immigration extensions then the chances are very slim or near to impossible to get the ILR because of the case of deception.K4 wrote:Hi everyone
People who have applied ILR (10 years long residency) had previous history with toeic what are the chances? Any news on th matter?
