Applied on 28th May 2019. CO contacted today and asked for a list of documents including Functional English for primary as well as secondary applicant. Primary applicant in my case is same as 489. Should I go for  English language certification again by PTE, IELTS or TOFEL or others or shall I reply back explaining I have PTE done in 2015 and I am an MBA from India. Pls guide.

Pte in 2015 is too old....easy way is get document from ur college that u have done 4 year degree and all instructions were in english

Congratulations KJV,

Could you tell me how old your baby was at time of medical? What medical they do eg. blood test or x rays?

Hi ...

My son is 2 yrs old. He was checked by nurse weight and height only. Then doctor just ask some standard question as  per e- medical form. Then he examined him. Very straight forward medical.

I believe no blood test or X-ray for toddlers.

Hi
I applied in July 2018. How can I find a list of required documents at that time?

Now, immigration asks for Functional English proof, but as I remember, this item was not in the list of required documents.

Hello everyone Please answer my queries below, as i am confused 

1. So what you guys think Uni certificates are working as a proof of functional English? 

2. If my last PTE test has validity at the time of 887 lodgement will it work ( I will apply soon). I had overall 7 and its valid for 3 years I guess.  

3. I had provided Uni transcript+ medium of instruction for my wife at the time of 489 (CO asked for functional English evidence) and got the grant with that. For 887 should I submit the same?? 

Thanks everyone

Hi,

I submit my 887 application at the end of this month. On the checklist / steps on the IMMI website it mentions Police Checks. Need some advise on the following questions:

1 - Do I need to re-do the one I got over 2 years ago from the UK?

2 - Do I wait until I'm asked for these by my case officer as it may take a year before a case officer gets in touch and the ones I get done now may not be valid?

Kind regards,

Dave

Update AFP  this afternoon now the wait begins again!!!

When you upload new documents - does it give the CO assigned a notification of some sort that you have provided new docs? 

You need to press the botton at bottom off attracted documents list to let them know you have uploaded new requested documents

Guys, I am coming back to the race.

Some information.

My result is L9 R9 W6.5 S8 O8

It is enough but I am furious with the way they treat migrants.

It looks like they thought that I needed 7 so they cut my writing by 0.5 points to make me come back.

This bloody approach took 3 years on my life on a regional visa because I was short of 0.5 when I was moving to Australia:-((((((((((((

All about money.

I did not want to wait for 189 with 60pts...it is costing me 3 yrs as well

btw, CO asked for my son passport which Im unable to provide due to covid19...any ideas if I can be granted PR. CO Brooke contact on 19 May 2020.

Applied 1 Dec 2018

[meetpatel1055]
