It's PPR guys....I am so happy right now, after lonnnng wait period. I am a silent reader in this great platform but do come here once in a while to drop some comments.

I feel I should update my timeline :

AOR: June 30th, 2017

Medical passed : July 20th, 2017

BG NA and IP1: July 21st, 2017

IP2: August 9, 2017

Ordered GCMS sometimes late September and realised they are conducting security screening for me.

January 22, 2018 : sent an email to the prime minister and minister of immigration complaining about long waiting period.

PPR : January 23,2018

I wouldn't know whether the mail I sent was a coincidence or not, but I give all praise to Almighty Allah.

207 days post AOR!

I wish everyone else waiting for this good news a speedy PPR.

mrssam:

I thought the process is to write IELTS first. Can we do ECA before IELTS? Any pros and cons?

It has been stated before but i just want to reinforce this for Lawyers..please don't shy away from using IQAS.

The IQAS processing time of 12 weeks is just an estimate and doesnt take that long.
I got my ECA yesterday and my application was sent via courier on 20/10/2017
IQAS acknowledged receipt on 30/11/2017 (12 weeks count starts from this date)
I got anxious after seeing @Ethelia post and sent them a mail on 12/1/2018 (Thank you for that @Ethelia)
ECA received on 22/1/2018 (Approx 7 weeks after)

The two are both important and the order doesn't matter. However, one might delay more than the other and you need to know how long they are valid for. ECAs are valid for 5 years while IELTS is valid for two.

So if you do IELTS first, and your ECA takes a long time to come out (some have done theirs for one year), it reduces the time for the validity of your IELTS.

So it is one's choice really. I am of the opinion that ECA should be done first since it takes longer in this our Nigeria. Both can be done concurrently as well i.e starting your ECA while you book for your IELTS say against Feb/March to give time for preparation. Both could just come in at the same time

mrstender:

mrssam:


Thank you very much. This is very helpful. Do we need to get a passport first to get the ECA done? Cos hubb doesnt have a passport yet and we need to priotize in order of need.

Yewwygraceful:
Ethelia, quote the date you were called to Bar, that is when you are eligible to practice as a Lawyer not when you had LL.B.

Raconteur14:

Okay. Thanks!

International passports are not needed for ECAs. However it is needed for IELTS. All the best. Go to page 0 for a lot of helpful information. You can ask case specific questions here and people will attend to it.

I got the above bolded message from IQAS yesterday.
Has anyone received this kind of message from IQAS & how long did it take before you received your completed assessment from them?
Please the ECA you received on 22/01/18 is it the soft copy through email or the hard copy through currier?
