Nfronda ask ko lang bakit di nasatisfy ng cert yung english requirement? College undergrad kase partner ko.natakot ako bigla ang mahal pa naman ng 2nd installment

bluemist · October 2013

@raiden14 Hello, share ko lang yung sa experience ko ako yung secondary applicant.. Naka upload na po yung cert of medium of instruction ko from the university, nung nakgaroon po kami ng CO isa pa rin iyon ang ni require sa akin.. So nung tinignan ko sa kung anong mga docs yung pwedeng i submit, aside from the cert of medium of instruction was the diploma ko. Hindi ko siya inupload e.. So ayun, pinrovide ko din yung diploma ko and cert of medium of instruction sa email ko sa CO.. Ayun umokay naman. Siguro aside sa cert of medium instruction you need to submit ng proof up to what level yung education niya. Main requirement ang diploma (college) or transcript record (college), then support lang yung cert of medium of instruction.

As for your secondary applicant's case:
1.ielts min of 4.5 score for each modules
2. evidence of a trade, diploma or higher qualification awarded by an institution in or outside Australia which involved at least two years of full-time study and all instruction was in English

Siguro for number 2, pwede yung makakuha siya ng certificate from college kung naka atleast two full years siya ng study and cert of medium of instruction.. Or pwede din sa highschool and grade school niya kung saan siya nagtapos.

good luck..

raiden14 · October 2013

Maraming salamat bluemist we will try to submit as much docs as we have then salamat ulit

nfronda · October 2013

raiden14 · October 2013

nfronda · October 2013

@raiden14..e rerequire silang mag ielts pag wla kang ma e provide na certificate as english medium of instruction from her elementary, secondarty and college.

raiden14 · October 2013

Ah ok po. Thanks

pag maka kuha po ba ung spouse natin as secondary applicant ng certificate medium of communication, maka claim naba po tayo ng additional +5points? no need na to take IELTS or pa assist ang secondary applicant to claim the 5points?

your partner will need a positive skills assessment for you to claim partner's points..

Question po : My dependent is undergrad of less than 2 years in tertiary education.
May nakaranas na po ba dito na nagsuffice and primary at secondary certificate?
Iniisip ko po ksi na baka need na mag ielts ni partner but as much as possible di na sana.

clickbuddy2009 · November 2013

Hi @raiden14, same po ata kayo ng situation ni rara_avis. Undergrad din partner nya at less than 2years sa tertiary. Di po tinanggap ng CO kaya nagtake pa ng IELTS test hubby nya.

rara_avis · November 2013

@clickbuddy2009 - correct ko lang po, more than 2 years yung tertiary education ng husband ko.

dalawa schools nya nung college pero ang na-provide lang namin is yung last school nya pero less than 2 years kasi sya nag-stay dun so I guess yun ang reason why hindi satisfied si CO.

@raiden14 - eto yung mga requirement to prove the english ability of your spouse:
http://www.immi.gov.au/skills/skillselect/index/functional-english/

Proof that confirms a person's ability to communicate in English includes:

- an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) average score of at least 4.5 for the four test components (speaking, reading, listening and writing)
- an Occupational English Test score which is at least equivalent to an IELTS 4.5, and the test was relevant to the nominated occupation
- the applicant's first language is English and they have a current passport from the United Kingdom, United States, Canada, New Zealand or the Republic of Ireland
- a positive assessment by an Adult Migrant English Program service provider in Australia as having functional English
- evidence of a trade, diploma or higher qualification awarded by an institution in or outside Australia which involved at least two years of full-time study and all instruction was in English
- evidence of completion of at least one year of full-time or equivalent study in Australia for a diploma or higher qualification and all instruction was in English.

If I remember it correctly, a few weeks ago meron akong nabasa na at least 5 years of secondary education pero nawala na dyan sa list. I suggest i-provide nyo na lang yung primary and secondary certificate but have your partner review for IELTS para in case na hindi satisfied si CO, your partner is prepared to take the exam.

JCsantos · November 2013

we did not gamble on Certifications , I took IELTS , 6.0 ata ang average ko, sent it to Immi then all went smoothly

raiden14 · November 2013

Yea mag ielts na lang siguro si hubby.. hehe madedelay din talaga kami kasi im preggy with baby no.2

ruelcortez_BH · November 2013

question po, nakapaglodged na ako Visa application pero still waiting for my wife's IELTS exam and results, anyone tried this? Thanks

quesoboy · December 2013

Hi guys,

I'm new here and I've been going through the threads here that I feel are important. May gusto lang sana akong linawin regarding IELTS/English ability and points you can claim for that.

I read that IELTS isn't required for ACS skills assessment, pero ang pinagtataka ko lang ay: can you claim points for English kung English instruction certificate from your university ang ibibigay mo for assessment?

Kasi sa ngayon, if I follow the point system, I will need to take IELTS para makakuha ng points in order to get a passing mark kasi pag di ako nag-IELTS, di ako papasa. Kung ganun, parang required na rin ang IELTS, hindi ba?

Can anyone shed some light on this? Would appreciate it. Thanks!

Hello all,

Tatanong lang po...nag ffill-up na sana kami ng information to lodge and pay for visa BUT got stuck with this one question para sa dependent applicant...

<"Does the applicant have at least functional English language ability?" </b>yes/no

I'm tempted to say "yes" pero eto na pala ang bagong exemption list:

Functional English

- The applicant must be able to communicate in English with the Australian state or territory government or an employer without the use of an interpreter.

- The applicant must be able to provide evidence of one of the following to prove they have functional English:
An International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test result with an average band score of at least 4.5 for the four test components (speaking, reading, listening and writing). The test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.

A positive assessment by an Adult Migrant English Program service provider in Australia that the applicant has functional English.

Completed all years of primary education and at least three (3) years of secondary education in an institution in or outside Australia and all instructions were in English.

Completed at least five (5) years of secondary education in an institution in or outside of Australia and all instructions were in English.

Completed at least one (1) year of full-time study or equivalent part-time study towards a degree, a higher degree, a diploma or an associate diploma in an institution in Australia and all instructions were in English.

Completed a degree, a higher degree, a diploma or a trade certificate that required at least two (2) years of full-time study or training in an institution in or outside of Australia and all instructions were in English.

The functional level of the Australian Assessment of Communicative English Skills (ACCESS) test certified by the relevant testing body. The test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.

I'm the dependent of my husband and ang meron lang ako ngayon is certificate from my university stating that "English is generally used as a medium of instruction" (i guess yan lang ini-issue ng up na cert of english )
So basically, hindi nakalagay na "all instructions were in English" kundi "English is generally used"...patay. So ano po ba ang dapat isagot sa question for proof of functional english, YES or NO?

Tapos, pwede kaya na i-yes ko muna tapos mag IELTS nalang ako pag hiningi ni CO or di tanggapin ung certificate of english ko? hihihi medyo mahal kasi ang ielts though alam ko naman etong mga exenses na to may patutunguhan (hopefully) --- pero kung pwede sana di na mag ielts, makatipid ng konti...

thanks in advance sa input...
