Hello

I've just submitted my EOI and I am pretty confident i will be invited to apply for a visa - been through it before but circumstances got in the way and I couldn't go.

this time around I need to supply evidence of my defacto relationship. We have been together for two years but everything is in my name, no joint account, but di have evidence of transactions between our accounts....trump card is we have a 10 week old baby. I'm hoping this is enough to show we are in a defacto relationship!!

Anyone else been in this situation??

I just got back my IELTS scores and got 9's in reading, speaking and listening, but sadly, got only a 7.5 in writing. I needed at least 8 in all 4. I'm resitting and asking for a remark but wondered whether I can start the skills assessment process going by putting an application into AITSL with these IELTS results and then at the EOI stage submit my new IELTS score (hopefully improved to an 8). I ran out of time in the writing test so didn't get a chance to check over my work for mistakes - think this may have been due to taking a toilet break at the start - oops!

Is this possible or is the IELTS score you submit to AITSL the one you have to submit with your visa application?

I hadn't sat my IELTS test when I sent off my certificates for AITSL and I got approved.
