Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / November 2005Proof of wife's english
Hi all Can anybody inform me is it ok to send copies of qualified montessori teacher certificates of proof of language skills for my wife. I am not claiming any points for her so it is just for basic requirements. We are from Ireland so obviously English speaking. Thanks MK > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > MK Hi All we sent off for proof of my english was a college certificate, our agent said that was fine Hilary thanks Hilary MK > Hi all > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > MK Hi MK Native English Speakers do not need to prove any language skills and are taken to meet the requirements for the award of 20 points. A ‘native English speaker’ is a person whose first spoken language is English and the holder of a passport from the United Kingdom, Canada, New Zealand, the United States of America or the Republic of Ireland. Regards Tony > Hi MK > [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > > Tony Not always true. My wife is English and was born & bred here, as were her parents and their parents etc etc etc. but DIMIA requested proof, we think it's because of her forename (Lianna). All we sent we copies of her school and college qualifications. Hope that helps. Bill Thanks Tony that is one less thing to worry about. You are a blessing to this forum. MK > Thanks Tony that is one less thing to worry about. > > You are a blessing to this forum. > > MK Me too. Im british born and bred but still needed evidence > Me too. Im british born and bred but still needed evidence I would think that with the change in processing that all 5 regions are now processing UK cases, many case officers are used to processing non- native English applicants. It is DIMIA's own policy handbook that states that native English Speakers from the countries I mentioned do not need to evidence English skills for 20 points, let alone for Vocational or Functional English. Is always best to give what case officer requests but they are often wrong and can be challenged. Tony |
