Immigration Forum / Australia and NZ / June 2006IELTS Test for dependent
Hi, A quick question about the IELTS. Does my dad (69), who is coming as a dependant, need to do the English Test? If so, it is a bummer, as he is dyslexic, can write but no one can read what he writes and CANNOT spell English. He has lived and worked with English since 1959. Originally from Germany, now in South Africa. Fritz > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Fritz Hi: Everyone in your application over 18 who cannot prove the required English level (functional level) needs to pay the 2nd installment. I think there are no exceptions in this matter if you're not a passport holder of a native English speaking country. One of my friend's mom who was 70 paid for it when they were granted their visa. sush-jpn > Hi, > [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > > Fritz depends on the CO, if you can provide school and work certifications that the official language is english....the CO may waive the IELTS for your dependent..... the 2nd installment is available but it is cheaper to take your chances with the IELTS Thanks for the info, but excuse ignorance, what is the 2nd installment? and how much is it? >> Hi, >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > the 2nd installment is available but it is cheaper to take your chances > with the IELTS > Thanks for the info, but excuse ignorance, what is the 2nd > installment? and [quoted text clipped - 22 lines] > > -- > > Posted via http://britishexpats.com Hallo Fritz, Keine Sorge. Wenn Dein Vater nur ein Durchschnitt von 4,5 kriegt, alles wird in Ordnung sein. But of course as you've evidently lived in South Africa for a long time, possibly you don't speak German :-). An average of 4.5 is enough on the IELTS test, and if his oral expression and comprehension is ok, then it shouldn't be a problem to reach 4.5. If he doesn't get to 4.5 then you'll have to pay the second instalment, which for applications lodged in the last 12 months is A$2690.
