torrentkid Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi All I have a question regarding proving the functional English for my mother (dependent). She wrote her IELTS exam on the 15th of March 2014, last month and due to some technical issues they have postponed the results to the 18th of April 2014. * Can I now lodge the visa by paying the fees and update the CO that she has functional English via form1022 ? * Can you please explain this excerpt from the immi.gov.au website? Does it mean that the test date should be within 12 months or the results ? It says: To prove that you have functional English you must provide evidence of one of the following: an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) test result with an average band score of at least 4.5 for the four test components (speaking, reading, listening and writing). Your test must have been completed within 12 months of visa application lodgement or can be completed during visa application processing.

xlornax Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) Does it matter if it means test or results? Edited April 2, 2014 by xlornax Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentkid Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Err.. Actually No. Now this could sound naive. That's because I was wondering if it means that you should GET the result before lodging the visa because, if you know, for the primary applicant it is a prerequisite that they clear the IELTS before lodging the visa. I didn't want to make a mistake at this point and lose money for 1+3 dependents. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xlornax Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 It says 'during' also in that quote...so I read it as meaning you can do it after..dont u think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
torrentkid Posted April 2, 2014 Author Share Posted April 2, 2014 Ahh Yes. I get it. Can you help me with the form# I should be filling up after I get the results to upload on to the site ? Btw, I was able to save the application by including the IELTS test date without mentioning the result. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
