Another piece of correspondence regarding the IELTS`s term submission:
On 5 March 2010 the High Court of Australia handed down its decision in Berenguel v Minister for Immigration and Citizenship. The effect of this decision was to change the English Language requirement from a ‘time of lodgement’ criteria to a ‘time of decision’ criteria. This meant that if IELTS test results were submitted within 28 days of them being requested, those test results could be taken into account at the point when the application was assessed.

Dapat by the time na nag-lodge ka meron ka na IELTS result and dapat decision ready na nga. Meron pala mga nade-decline dahil sa dates sa results form and certificates based sa ibang forum.

Essentially therefore Berenguel ruling has been reversed:
David Stewart, Program Director, General Skilled Migration, DIAC
”I have been advised there are Regulation changes on 1 July, which change the definition of Competent, Proficient, etc, English. This change effectively is a reversal of the position created by the Berenguel decision, as it is will be defined in the Regulation that the English test must have been conducted in the two years immediately preceding the date of the visa application.”

In short, thou shall not lodge without IELTS and skills assessment results.
Dun sa isang forum, na refuse yung visa application nya kasi yung skills assessment result nya ay dated 3 days after lodgement. Inassume nya kasi na since nabigyan na siya ng reference number dun sa skills assessment ay pwede na siya mag lodge while waiting for the results.

laging may disclaimer ang ibang body na nasa DIAC ang last say kung approve ka o hindi.
but base sa mga nababasa ko sa forum, basta ok ka sa lahat ng docs at sakto pts mo, sure ball na yun

May iba rin po tayong mga kasama dito sa forum na hiningan ng mga ITRs nila at payslips. Ito kasi siguro yung pinakamadaling way para ma prove mo yung claim mo na work experience. And hindi na sila mag background check sa mga dati at current mong mga employers. Yung sakin kasi hindi na nagbacground check si DIAC. I asked our HR and my manager kung may nagtanong ba about me and they said wala nman daw.
