The VO says you can't use equity or property to claim POF which is true. What kind of mutual funds is this? You need to read your mutual funds letter again and see the conditions. Perhaps the equity is the issue. Also did you use property for POF?

See, liquidate the cash before the end of today if possible, transfer to a savings account, print out the bank statement and raise a CSE appealing the decision before the end of this week. You need to act fast. The VO wants to be sure you can access your funds. Prove to him/her you have unfettered access to that money. Your case will be reopened and you will get PPR.

At this stage, questioning why the VO disapprove mutual funds is irrelevant. Damage control is important, infact tell the VO if he/she wants to see raw cash, you will kuku parcel it as proof to touch and feel it Going forward as a lesson to us all, if you have invested your funds in any kind of investible funds and VO has doubts you can access it, please liquidate and show your raw cash in a savings/current account.

Paragraph 7 also caught my eye, the VO evaluates eligibility from the time you get ITA as well as post-AOR.

I recommend Michel Thomas "Learning French". It will help you get a good grasp very quickly and will boost your confidence. (Start from "Foundation", then go through Advanced, then Language builder, then finally the Vocabulary course) You can finish everything in weeks.

Then I recommend taking a look at www.Frenchpod101.com It has classes from Absolute Beginner to Advanced. They offer everything in their library fo free for 7 days (Tip: download what you can within this period)

There is no curriculum for the TEF well because it only measures your level at the time of testing.

Tldr; I'm also awaiting results o. I took the Oct 10 exam at Port Harcourt.

I didn't really think I was ready for the exam but as I hadn't taken any french exam since secondary school and AF Lagos was dulling me with their Nov date, I decided to just do it. Bad as e bad I'll rewrite it in Lagos if I don't get the desired scores. Here is my experience:

Speaking: for part 1, I was shown an ad describing a park (like an amusement park or something...can't remember exactly) and was asked to call for more information and for part 2, I was shown another ad for a service that rents electric cars (same as @Bellerin's apparently) to convince a friend to use it.

I was given 15 mins to prepare for both parts. For the first part, I feel I asked a reasonable number of questions and the examiner seemed to understand me (even though I think they were both extremely lenient). For the second part, the examiner had lots of objections but I just kept giving reasons to convince her. I repeated a lot of statements but oh well...on verra.

I honestly can't rate my french because yours truly was on auto-pilot...told myself before going in that as long as I don't freeze I'd be ok...I even started speaking English towards the end of the second part though I corrected myself.
Before the exam this was the section I dreaded the most but it went by easier than expected...I SPOKE AND UNDERSTOOD FRENCH O!...under exam condition for that matter

Listening: was exactly the same format as the books and the prepmyfuture app...no surprises really except that I found it a bit difficult to concentrate...

Reading: the passages were too difficult...too many strange words...nothing like the passages I came across while practising...When time was up I hadn't even read two of the passages...I was able to answer all other questions though...whether the answers were correct remains to be seen...don't know how people were passing this exam in the era of negative marking

Writing: the article to complete was about an incident with a bouillon van which resulted in a rain of money from a bridge and for the letter the headline was social media creates more distance than it connects...I write as my power reach. When preparing though, I made sure I had the introduction and conclusion of the letter at the tips of my fingers. For the body I just made sure I used the logical connectors ....it's in God's hands now.

Whatever the result, I'm glad I took the exam. If I need to retake it, I'll be better prepared.
