<blockquote rel="andrew_bonn">Tanong lang po sa cost ng visa sa mga nakapag lodge na including their spouse and dependent child for visa 189. Nabasa ko po sa immigration site ung cost: http://www.immi.gov.au/Visas/Pages/189.aspx Sa akin pong pagkakaintindi at pagbabasa eto po ang cost ng visa for me, my wife and one dependent child:
Me as Principal Applicant: $3520
Wife: $1760
1 Dependent child: $880
Ang tanong ko lang po is ung nakalagay po duon na Second Instalment na may additional $4885 if my wife for example does not have functional english. Ibig sabihin po ba nuon para hindi na kami ma charge ng 2nd Instalment na $4485, kelangan mag take din ng IELTS ang aking wife? Salamat po.</blockquote>
For the fees, tama po ung sa Principal and spouse, ung dependent child ang di ko sure pero kung galing naman yan sa website eh tama po yan... 🙂
For our application, ako ung dependent, sa ngayon we only submitted palang a cert from my university stating that english was generally used as a medium of instruction to prove that I have functional english. We'll see how it goes pag nagka CO na kami. If CO would state that this will not be enough, then mag ielts ako like @TasBurrfoot since may mention naman na pwede mag ielts ang dependent habang pinoprocess ung visa. 🙂 BUT just to let you know, medyo gamble to on our part kasi shempre mas sure ka kung mag IELTS ung dependent mo. I'm hoping na maging same ang case ko like sa ibang forumers wherein sufficient na yung cert of english. hehehe.
