Discuss lanmi's Federal Skilled Workers USCIS Case

Hi lanmi,
My case is similar to you, They ask me subbmmit IELTS. My question regarding submmiting IELTS test result.

Is it compulsory IELTS results must be submit by IELTS people or can I submit IELTS test results after receiving.
The reason why I am planning to submit my own, If I get good score then I want submit otherwise I don’t want submit
Please let me know thanks in advance.

Adr37,

According to the application the results will be sent to you and up to 5 institutions. I don't see why you would have to send the results to an institution (CIC). Just leave that part blank and submit a photocopy of your results if you score high. I had my results sent to CIC because I don't want any more of a delay since mail from Canada to the US can take a while. But I plan on also sending a copy of the results I receive...just in case.

Hi lanmi,
I wrote the IETLS exam on the same date as u. The result should be out on the 20th of march. I requested to have the result sent to buffalo office directly and i am planning to send in a photocopy when i get the result. Do you know if the visa office will notify us of receiving the result?

Tinay,

The CIC language test letter says "If your original test results are sent directly to us they will automatically be added to your file; please do not ask us to confirm receipt." I interpret that as no, you will not be notified when they receive the results.

hi lanmi, if u dont mind what is the reason u requested for CAIPS and have u received it?

Tangocharlie,

I requested CAIPS because I want to know if I'm being awarded the total points that I claimed. I haven't received my CAIPS yet - will post when I do.

lanmi

Hello,

Can you tell me the steps to request CAIPS and how long it takes?

Regards,

Bozo

Bozo,

I referenced these two sites when I requested CAIPS. Use these directions only if you know a Canadian who can get the info for you. CIC has 30 days to fill the request so I am expecting my notes soon.

lanmi have you got your CAIPS or IA yet?

Hi lanmi,

What information you have on your CAIPS. I had only one page, it even does not have BF' D. It seems strange to me

Did you receive IA ?

Thanks

hi Lanmi.

My file was also xferred to Detroit (June 3) and I am getting anxious, not having heard from there for almost two months. Seems processing at that office is slow compared to other local offices. Is this your sense as well?

BTW what does BF'D mean?

Ian

Bozo - Still waiting on IA but I did recieve CAPIS on 5/27/08. Glad I took the IELTS because I wouldn't have been awarded the full points that I claimed.

greenlight - The only useful information I saw was language points they're awarding me and BF'D of December 2008!

crEM - I'm hopeful that even though my BF'D isn't until December I'll still get IA before then. I have seen cases where after transfer to Detroit, IA quickly followed. Unfortunately I don't think that's the norm. Good luck, though.

lanmi- Good luck to you as well.

Thank you for your information. Hope we all receive IA soon

Dated 3/3/09, received 3/6/09: Initial Assessment, docs requested.

I applied in Nov 2007 as well. NO IA yet. May I ask what documents were requested along with IA?

Documents for work experience, W2 forms, statement of funds, and proof of family relationship.

I dont know why it took them so long in your case and mine too....

taneralpa - Have you sent in for CAIPS notes? If you know someone in Canada I would recommend doing that and it's only $5. The only good information I found by requesting it was my BF'D, but it was helpful to have an idea of the timeline. Also, try writing to them on the CIC web form. It did that and I think it "reminded" them that it was time to look at my case. Good luck. I don't know why some cases take so long to get IA.
