Hi George
Thanks again for your professional advice.
I did a 136 visa application myself, Aug 2007, And I did not include an
IELTS with it, assuming as you say they will ask for it.
I was just very nervous that I would loose my 136 application too, like I
did my 176, by not having included an IELTS.
Although I have included a letter from when I did my diploma in Elec Eng
that my tuition was in English.
Do you think I'll have a problem with my 136 on the grounds of an IELTS,
I was thinking of quickly applying for an IELTS and sending the receipt to
the department.
I now strongly recommend anyone doing an application, use an Agent like
yourself, because it is not really worth all the time, trouble and loss,
should an application be refused.
Kind regards
Johan van Tonder
