You should complain or else you can submit your uni transcript .Its not as per legislation for primary applicant to provide functional English proof. I am in same situation I had lodged complaint waiting for their response .

How did you lodge a complaint?

[AshDi]

I was also contacted yesterday requesting Functional English for both primary applicant and secondary applicant. I attached an IELTS result sheet valid at the time of the lodging my 887 application. Secondary applicant's IELTS was within the 12 months by the time of lodging. Will they accept my IELTS results though it's got expired now?.

Applied on 7 May 2019.

Thank you.

JUST FOR DEPENDANTS

Proof of functional English

 

Provide proof that all dependent applicants aged 18 years and older, who did not pay the second instalment of the visa application charge at provisional stage, have at least functional English.

Call them and also write them. The more you push them the better.

Team, 

Correct me if I am wrong ? Have you seen a trend if an applicant keeps updating all the recent documents (after submitting 887 and more than required) within the waiting period, he/she gets direct grant ?

Hi everyone,

silent follower for this topic for a while and today is my first time actually registered the account to share my journey.

one applicant only

applied 23/12/2018

all relevant documents uploaded 30/12/2018

acknowledgment of receiving my application and documents 3/1/2019 from Michael (Adelaide office)

first non-automatic contact from CO Marea(Adelaide office) asking for updating AFP (the previous one expired during the waiting) 1/5/2020

new AFP uploaded 12/5/2020

complaint sent to GFU and received a mediocre reply two days later 22/5/2020

direct grant from Kylie (Adelaide office) 28/5/2020

 

Somehow I am finally feeling relieved but yet not that excited as I used to imagine, I guess the long waiting has surely diminished some of the joy and surprises, which should always be there when you have your visa granted. However, I would still say 'stay calm and keep faith'. Thanks for being part of the journey.

I did same as in most of the previous cases CO are asking for further proof of stay & work in regional area.Now it’s a trend where everyone is attaching there functional English proof as an primary applicant .

I think the functional english is not requested by case officer for those who applied 489 onshore, having passports from certain countries such as England, New Zealand, etc and if already provided the academic transcript from university when applying for 489.

I also feels so...Actually if we keep updating the documents, as and when CO picks up the file, requirement for asking further document ceases to exists and thus direct grant.

Thank you.

This is the issue actually which I think is impacting all...

You have provided a certificate which is actually not required and that too expired one....
