    @wizardofOz TOR and Certificate of English as medium of instruction. Sabi, wala daw evidence na na complete yun studies (undergrad eh), so I assumed need may diploma kahit 2-year course. Tapos dun sa checklist na binigay nun CO sken, may nakasulat:

    you have completed all years of primary education and at least three (3) years of secondary education at educational institutions in which all instruction was conducted in English.

    kaya naisip ko kuha na lang kami parehas sa grade school and high school since malapit lang dito smen yun both schools nya. bigay kami diploma (elem and high school + yun cert of english as medium of instruction).

    @lock_code2004 naisip ko din mag clarify pero dun kase sa e-mail ni CO ang sabi nya
    Please note I have assessed the evidence you have provided but it is not acceptable. You have not provided evidence that the applicant has completed her studies and has been awarded a degree as required in the last point below.
    eto yun last point:
    you hold an award (being a degree, higher degree, diploma or trade certificate) that required at least two (2) years of full-time study or training and all instruction (including instruction received in other courses for which you were allowed credit) for that award was conducted in English.
    kaya naisip ko need talaga diploma..since sya undergrad ng 4-yr course..wala diploma..TOR lang nakuha namin. while reading, nabasa ko ito dun sa points nya:
    you have completed all years of primary education and at least three (3) years of secondary education at educational institutions in which all instruction was conducted in English.
    kaya papakuhanin ko sya this week ng certificates sa grade school and high school, since nasa kanya naman diploma. sama namin sa documents nya, sana lumusot para no need mag IELTS hehehe

    sir submit mo lang ung sa high school ung diploma and request ka lang lang ng cert na nag state na english ung medium of instructiondand from what year to what year naka-enrol. kay mrs ko high school dip at cert ng eng proficiency na galing sa paaralan niya nung high school ang pinasa ko. naging ok naman. di na siguro need ung elementary.

    @raiden14 i think need padin kasi you have to declare ung totoo. at if ever hiningian ka ng form 80 where in you have to declare lahat ng employment history since birth para walang discrepancy ang application information at form 80.

    @mimic Eto yung nakalagay sa DIBP website:
    An International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test result of an average band score of at least 4.5 based on the four test components of speaking, reading, listening and writing. Your test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.

    @Cassey thanks Cassey nabasa ko nga iyan but wasn't sure how accurate.

    Kasi nung nagaapply ako ang tanong "Has the applicant undertaken an English language test within the 36 months immediately before the date of the invitation letter?" then
    "Does the applicant have at least functional English language ability?"

    So inupload ko yung IELTS ni husband nung 2014. Pero nagPTE pa rin siya kahapon kasi based sa statement na pinost mo 12 months lang ang validity ng functional English.

    Medyo contradicting yung 36 months and 12 months hehe

    @mimic

    Validity of English Tests
    Tests conducted up to 3 years prior to lodgement of an application will be accepted by the Department of Immigration.
    The only exception to this is for functional English - this requires testing to have been done at most 12 months before lodgement.

    Nabasa ko sa site ng isang agency,hehe Ngayon ko lang actually napansin na magkaiba yung sa application at yung sa functional english,hehe
