Why ask for AFP while it is valid for one year ? I applied on 29/11/2019 do you think I need to update mine ? 

It was valid, but only for my other name.

You passed the requirement, don't worry about that anymore. 

It's overall 30, not each 30. Don't rely on the immigration website, they made a stupid mistake. Refer to migration act or call the immigration, they will give you the immediate answer that overall 30 is required.

You can even read the letter from the CO, how they defined the functional English, it must be clearly written as "overall band score of at least 30, based on the four test components"

https://www.legislation.gov.au/Details/F2014L01668

"According to the migration act, the functional English for PTE is the applicant provides evidence of having achieved a Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) overall band score of at least 30, based on the four test components of speaking, reading, writing and listening in a test conducted"

@Suresh @MMM The list is wayyyyy too long to cut everyone out. Unless there's a magic button to select all and then change with one button. Unfortunately, we have to bear with it as it comes.

by referring to the legislation, it doesn't mention that the following evidence can prove a person has functional english in the homeaffair website:

https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/english-language/functional-english

Quote

you completed a degree, a higher degree, a diploma or a trade certificate in an institution in or outside Australia that required at least two years of full-time study and all instructions were in English

But from this forum I saw many of us can satisfy this requirement by uploading non-australian university transcript. I am confused about how does it work actually? .....
