    Has anyone taken the ielts test with a middle name?

    I am confused if i need to include my wifes middle name. On the application it says first name then a new line for last name.

    So i put first and last name in and on the checking page it says please check that first, middle and last name. Now since there is no.option for middle name i am confused if i need to add this after the first name?

    Thanks.for that, small details could be costly.

    I read it takes 13 days to get the results, is that right?

    Last year when I took it I got mine after 8 working days. Not sure if they changed now.

    I just checked with IDP the test result is available after 7 days of taking the test. If you live away from Cebu or Manila the delivery might affect it so might take longer than 7 days.

    8 working days would be 12 days as test falls before a weekend. I guess that means its not.worth her waiting in manila for two weeks to see if we can get a quick interview with the spouse visa application. More money on.flights back to manila

    Staying for 2 weeks in Manila would maybe cost as much as the flights back and forth. It's such a shame living far away from these centres. Not very convenient for some. Especially applicants from Mindanao.

    Thats where my wife lives, so she cant really ferry it being pregnant.

    Thats pretty much my thought that its about the same cost, she wants her mother to help her as she doesnt want to be alone in manila.
    I guess she will have to go back, too many variables like the fact that she has to do the spit test for the tb as she is pregnant

    Oh that must be hard for her.

    I brought my sister with me when I took the TB test and English test in Manila coz I'm afraid to be alone in Manila. Flights are expensive from Mindanao too so more cost for my fiance that time.

    I dont know what to put on the ielts, if i put her first name and middle name they could say first name is not spelt same the passport. If i leave out middle name they could say its not same as passport. This form is not designed for filipino passports.

    Did you put ur middle name on the ielts?

    I told you already you can put the middle name in the first name. I just checked my English test certificate my middle name is with the First Name so don't worry about it. You will see that again when you fill in the application forms they don't ask for middle name so always put it after the First Name.

    @richey Only 7 calendar days for Life Skills tests. The 13 days are for the longer tests like the academic one.

    If you won't put her middle name after her given name ( even though her given name doesn't include her middle name in her passport) they will ask her to make an authorization letter to change it. That's what I did because my husband didn't include my middle name.
