    @aiwink, para hindi na magbayad ng 2nd installment visa fee, eto po kelangan.

    You must provide one of the following:

    •your IELTS TRF Number to show you have a band score of at least four and a half (4.5) based on all four components.
    Important: If you are using an IELTS test to show functional English, it must be from a test sat no more than 12 months before making your application.
    •evidence that you have a degree, diploma or trade qualification requiring at least two years of full time study or training with all instruction conducted in English
    •evidence that you have completed at least one year of full time study in Australia towards a degree or diploma qualification with all instruction conducted in English
    •evidence that you have completed one of the following at an educational institution where all instruction was conducted in English:

    How old is your son? At the time of lodging your application, he should be less than 18 years old para hindi na sya required to show proof of functional english. Ikaw na lang.
