Hi PrinceW. When you open your e-visa account, you can find it in a link below the attachments box. Just click that link and it will redirect you to a page where you have to answer certain health questions. After that, you will be asked to print your referral letter with your HAP ID. If there is no link yet, just wait. It will soon appear there.

Thanks for the input. What is the best thing to do now aside from waiting for CO's response? Have you had any circumstane like this before?

Ssshhh

Yes, it mentions a second installment for main applicant. Holding on to that (and the other cheaper remedy of course which is to allow my dad for another ielts) Will ring CO tomorrow morning for sure! Thanks!

Well, another newbie here! Posting mainly in migration forums. Hope everyone's visa processing are smooth. Just had a setback with my visa and i am a little depressed. I know no one will care but... hah! I just need to vent! can anyone share something impossible that they've reached? a goal? A dream?

Thank you Rupert! Yes, i know. Actually a little bit upset to have overlooked that! I just comfort myself with "what's done is done" really. Hoping for a positive response from our CO. That's just what i have to do now, right?

Thank you for your advice. Really sad as we shelled out almost $9000 for the application. Still hoping that his CO will allow my dad to sit in another IELTS exam. I just remembered that he asked my dad if he has any more recent IELTS test (i hope that implies that he accepts IELTS result beyond the date of the time of application) Regarding the second installment(i attached an excerpt from immi.gov.au in a photo) , do you have any idea about this? Is it good to initiate talking about this to our CO without him advising us of that? Much appreciated x

My father is on a 457 Visa. He is eligible for a an employer-sponsored nomination scheme for permanent residency under transition scheme.He has lodged his application last September. His case officer mailed him and told him hat he needed to show another IELTS test result as the one he submitted does not require the minimum english requirement. He got 6 in all the components except for the listening. He only got 4.5 on this. It is mainly due to the fact that my dad has severe hearing loss as diagnosed. However, we weren't able to inform the test centre of this so no special adjustments was made and he took the test anyway. What's done is done. The other way to prove is to show at least 5 years in secondary or tertiary education in English medium but my dad only has 4 years of this. Otherwise, he said that we might have to withdraw our application or else, it might be refused on the basis that my dad is unable to meet the English requirement. My dad is willing to sit in another exam. We don't know yet if his CO will allow this. And we are willing to pay the second installment also if applicable (for applicants that are assessed as to not having minimum English requirements) (Is this applicable to the main applicant? Our CO didn't give us this option. Is it acceptable to ask him if we could do this?) We badly need the visa as we were main victims of the recent supertyphoon. Our little city is still recovering. Thank you for your advise.
