Hello...I gave my test yesterday. Got 17/20. My Webcam stopped right after the test started (first question was on the screen). So, it asked me sign in again. I did so and it went all well after that. Anyone experienced that? Will it be an issue for my test while they review? Please let me know. Update: I got my test marked as Completed in the tracker. I did not give second test.

My supervisor has over stayed her work visa by almost a year. Says because she applied for an extension she won't get deported even though that extension won't likely be approved for another year.
