In the past, you needed only to be accepted by the institution only; the consulate didn't look at your TOEFL score.

However, post-9/11, people are reporting that they need to show their TOEFL scores.

Anybody have any input??

Please post further questions here.

Hi there!

According to popular belief, TOEFL score is very important to obtain a Visa, In India atleast. Even the verbal score on the GRE.

I dont have enough knowledge about this at present, since I haven't yet had to go though all that. I am sure, there are may out there who have atleast some knowlege of those matters.

I request them to share their Knowledge and experience, so that it will benefit everyone.

My brother is going to apply for visa shortly. So, I may get to know what actually goes on there.

Hope everyone responds!

Raghuveer.

I know I am very-very late in replying to this thread. But, I saw this very late...ok....to the topic ....

In India, 213 is the minimum TOEFL score needed for visa clearance. But, sometimes, VOs make sure tht a student has 243+ ! Ive known 5 of my college-mates whose visas hav been rejected due to low TOEFL scores ! hence, my personal opinion would b : TOEFL score above 250 would b safe !

This is a very imp. query in many minds and any more comments would b of huge help to many students !!!!
