my husband is the primary applicant and he has lodged our
application papers (BN 136) to DIMIA.....we did not claim for spouse
points as he reached 120 points (we assumed he would be able to get
the 6 band on ietls)

if in case he did not pass 6 on ielts, and got only 5..
is it possible to claim for the spouse points even if our papers have
been acknowledged but not yet assessed..

Hi Desperate,

Depends a bit on how you filled out the form 47SK, and how long ago you
lodged the application, but in some cases you can file a skills
assessment for the spouse after application and get away with it.

Cheers,

Hi Desperate,

No, can't comment without knowing what you put in your form 47SK and I
don't think you need to discuss it with the whole world on this
newsgroup either :-(
