How long has it been? In other BON websites, it takes up to 1-2 weeks before a response.

Good luck to you.

first week of january then i tried again on the 3rd week..

Maybe you should consider other states or wait a little bit more for more updates for Illinois. I heard that rumor also that they are already considering the IELTS.

This also happened about 1/2 yr ago when on june-july there were already reports of scrapping the CGFNS exem req't but formal/official announcements

were only made after the dealine of the CGFNS certification for Nov. so everybody already applied for CGFNS certification when it formally came out.

Good thing is the fee for the CES will be waived for those who applied for the certification.

m considering arizona but dont have an idea about the place AND dont have a relatives der...

thanx lawrence. ur a great help.:saint:

I am sure Suzanne has a competent response, but from what I know you dont need the English test for any BON. You need it for VCS and immigration purposes. I am taking IELTS coz TOEFL has 2 parts with the speaking test and I had TOEFL 4 years ago. It was long test and seems much more difficult than IELTS. This is just my opinion. Will tell you for sure after my exam on 11th of march :sofahider

Just wait for Suzanne's response to be sure.
