Feb2017

Hi all Just wanted to let you know my visa is granted. Applied 11/2/17 granted: 14/6/17. No case officer no additional information request. Just a dierct grant. Thanks all for the useful information in this forum. Wishing you all get the letter quickly. Cheers

Hi all! Is this a drought? No grants for a couple of days here!

Please share and update this file: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1ApeHDAjEH60WFBNLeq14wvGzegiqGC4KD0U-OyH_w6U/edit#gid=0 It would be useful to estimate your visa issuing date. Cheers

Hi Mohammed Had they moved to a non-regional before/after applying for the PR?

No, you don not need the assessment again.

According to the immi website, you need to meet one of the criteria which are listed here: http://www.border.gov.au/about/corporate/information/faqs/how-can-i-prove-i-have-functional-english to prove your functional English. The option that suits your wife would be : A positive assessment by an Adult Migrant English Program service provider in Australia that you have functional English. It's not a certificate II, I reckon but only a letter from AMEP to the Department that certify the functional English for your wife. Cheers

Redundant immi staff from Jul 2016 or 2017?

Hi If they ask you a document which you already submitted, submit it again without any questions! It is faster. If your wife has spent her free hours in AMEP and she passed the required modules, she can ask the course provider (VET, etc.) to provide you with a letter that shows she has a functional English. This is recognisable by the immigration and no need for IELTS. Even if she has not finished the course yet, and she feels she has a functional English, she can talk with them and and ask them to asess her against the functional English and issue the letter. IELTS is valid for 2 or 3 years (not sure). If it's not expired yet you can send the IELTS certirficate to the immigration. Cheers
