Mystic,
No luck so far. I just got this reply from IDP. Do you think I should opt for another IELTS or go with their suggestion and the current TRF ? As they mentioned IELTS test partners link the test results with your identification. That is my National Identity Number mentioned on my National Identity Card.
Dear Rakhshanda,
Thank you for your reply.
I do appreciate that this is frustrating. However, in order to maintain reliability of results, we must adhere to such regulations. The regulation whereby the details on the candidate TRF must be an exact match of their identification document that was used on that particular test date is in place as a safeguard for checking test taker identity.
We wish to advise that it is the responsibility of candidates to familiarise themselves with the criteria set by recognising organsiations which they expect their applicants to meet.
We recommend that you engage the services of an approved translator, who can translate your National Identity card and certify that it is a true translation of your identity card. You will then be able to submit this with your application to the relevant immigration department.
You may be interested to know that when you provide your identity information the IELTS Test Partners link that information to your IELTS test and test result on the Test Report Form. This enables you to submit your Test Report Form to Recognizing Organisations and for them to verify your result.
I am sorry we are unable to be of further assistance.
We wish you all the very best.
Kind regards,
Got a call from Local IELTS office in my city. They asked two questions.
1- Why did it took me a year to check that the spelling mistakes in my TRF.
2- Did I applied somewhere? If not, where am I planing to apply.
Answers:
1- I checked after a year because earlier I was planing to apply for Student Visa. But later I decided not to since I came to know that I am eligible for Immigration.
2- No, I am going to apply for Australian Immigration now.
Upon query, they confirmed these two questions were being inquired by IDP Australia. Hence they called and IDP also asked for the entire case again, so they have already sent all the relevant documents and will inform me if there is any reply from IDP.
Now in my opinion they should not have inquired about it since they closed the case in last email they sent me. So I could not wait to confirm it from the relevant authority and send them an email.
Dear Alison,
I am hoping you must be doing fine. I received a call today from the local AEO office in Karachi, Pakistan asking me if why did I checked my TRF after a year and where am I trying to apply, they also confirmed that IDP has asked for my data again.
I actually gave IELTS Academic because I wanted to go for a student visa earlier, but I left that option because I got to know that I can also apply for immigration and I am eligible. So does this means I have hope of getting my TRF corrected ? Since you clearly mentioned in your last email that you can not be of any further assistance.
Please confirm as this is very important and I have fingers crossed. I will be glad if you could makes changes, hence I do not have enough stamina and time to go through all of that effort again.
Regards
Rakhshanda Affan
