Alnaibii Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Hi, All points are frozen at the Date of Invitation. IELTS is valid for 3 years. If you do not receive an invitation by the time they expire, you need to re-sit IELTS and apply for new assessment. If you got Vic SS and Invitation to apply for visa, you do not need to worry.

Cheers Thanks a lot for resolving my query. I am waiting for my Victoria SS, its been 4 weeks so was just wondering as my ACS expires in May 2 nd. Also, one last query I had added my dependents in my EOI and Vic SS application. Now, however due to some family issues, my wife has to stay home to take care of her mother since her son cant support for at least 3 years and he is not in the country. So, my question is, is there a way I can exclude them from my 190 application ? I do want to show them as non migrating dependents if possible but not pay the visa fee for them as I am the only one who would be moving there. Please suggest.

Alnaibii Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 Yes, you can exclude them when you lodge your visa. But, except for the fees, it will be better to include them now, and make a trip to activate the visa. Later on your wife will need a Partner visa (I do not know the number), and it is a long queue for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noob Posted March 18, 2014 Author Share Posted March 18, 2014 Thanks again for response. I would however have to get there medicals and PCC done. Please suggest. Also, my kids are below 8 years old do I need PCC for them as well. Plese suggest. Also, my wife had 3 operations two for the kids and 1 for an ovarian cyst. Can that be an issue ?

Alnaibii Posted March 18, 2014 Share Posted March 18, 2014 You have to do medicals and PCC even for non migrating dependents. PCC are only for people over 18 years, I think. As for your wife, c-sections should not be a problem. The other operation, if it is healed, should not pose problems as well. You can book medicals in advance, and ask the doctor, sometimes they give advice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cuberoot Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 Don't mean to make things worse, but I believe IELTS has a 2 year validity period and not 3 years. https://www.ielts.org/institutions/institutions_faqs/test_scores.aspx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alnaibii Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 You are right, but DIBP accepts accepts 3 year old IELTS tests for migration purposes. http://www.immi.gov.au/allforms/booklets/1119.pdf page 20 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
