Kung may diploma ka, di na kailangan ang IELTS for secondary applicant. Ask your school to provide you certificate of graduation and the medium of instruction was conducted in English.

Yun din ginawa namin ng wife ko, kumuha lang sya Certificate of English as Medium of Instruction sa university niya. I don't think kailangan pa yun diploma niya ipasa sa DIAC unless applying for partner skills points.

hindi na kailangan ang red ribbon sa Australia. Pang middle east lang ang red ribbon.
ako nga year 2000 pa ang TOR ko gutay gutay na tapos ang Diploma ko laminated nakasabit sa wall ng bahay namin. Nang magpa certify true copy ako sa suki kong Notary Public sinabi ko na lang na di ko dala ang TOR ko kasi gutay gutay na at nakadisplay ang Diploma ko sa wall, ayun ni-notarize nya kahit walang original hehehe.
About sa visa lodging, ganun din ini-scan kong gutay-gutay ang ang original TOR hahaha. OKay lang kasi may english translation naman ang TOR ko at dated.

Yes un red ribbon, sa middle east lang yan. Wala anywhere sa guidelines ng pagprocess ng OZ visa na kailangan naka-red ribbon. Although hindi naman masama kung yun ang gusto nyo. Sa DIAC scanned lang if online application, original dapat ang i-scan mo.. or cert. true copies din.
