Were you able to get the tapes.
I use to get the recordings, but recently ETS are saying Home Office Permission is required. However Home Office has refused to give consent.
I am surprised ETS was able to give you firm confirmation that a proxy was used. They have refused to even give me that confirmation.
Hi Obie, thanks for your response, HO said that ETC confirmation was enough for them, and they said that they do not hold the tapes and they are satisfied with that that deception was used and that we will not get the tapes. I believe the wording was the same for all TOEIC users - they have used voice detection software, used independent experts blah blah blah - satisfied that proxy was used.
I would hope a British wife and child would be enough, but sadly this doesn't seem to be the case, we have put a request for expedited hearing due to death of father but i highly doubt we will get it, and even if we do and we win HO will still apply to appeal on some made up error of law. Timescale is still looking like 12-18 months more.
