There are few other conditions that you can check to get around English requirements.

Immigration and citizenship Website

Well, it says on website that you might have to:

"You might have to pay an extra fee for any applicant aged 18 years or older who has less than functional English. This charge is called the second instalment. We will tell you when to pay the second instalment."

Does anybody know what it depends on? Does immi always ask for second installment if secondary applicant have not attached IELTS/PET results?

Cheers,

For the secondary applicant, it’s extremely easy to prove functional English
Study in an English medium school or college will just get you through
You really need to read the list of all the evidences that you can can provide and choose the one which is the easiest
If you actually can’t, and can’t pass the English tests , then you have no other option but to pay for VAC 2

Hello Helicase, You can check my previous post about my visa application but regarding PCC , I had to prepare PCC from a country where I lived for 3 yrs and it was 5 years ago. I prepared PCC from local station the same week I left that country and I have not returned since then. When I uploaded this PCC, I wrote a cover letter explaining my abovementioned condition to officer. I guess they have accepted this PCC because I have been asked for other documents (s56 RFI) and PCC from that country was not the document they asked for. Hope this helps. Good luck friends..

Hello!
Has anyone recently applied for visa with the PCC from China? My partner and I have a problem getting ours since there is a lockdown and we don't know how long it will take..

Invitation for GTI was sent two weeks ago, since then we started the application, cleared our English tests, attached some documents etc but didn't completed the application because we don't have a fresh PCC from China, where we lived 6y ago for less then two years. We do have the old PCC but don't know if AU will accept those..

Should we wait untill we get the new PCC (which will take for who knows how long) or applied the old one with the cover letter? Has anyone else had this same situation?
thanks

Hello, thank you so much! We will also try with the old one and a cover letter. Your case was really helpful and we are now a bit more relaxed. In worst case scenario, if they ask for a new one, we will reach for it and wait as long as it takes.. Good luck, to you too! And all the others!

hey, I also did the same. Supplied the additional documents as per s56 request on 23/3/2022. Now, the waiting game. I have seen in previous few posts stating the timeline between visa lodgment to grant is from 2 days to 6 plus months. So, yeah, the best way is to forget about it. Sorry for not being that helpful but we share the same story. Fingers crossed for all.

By the way which type of additional documents were requested in your case?

Evidence of ability to obtain future employment at the FWHIT of 158K. How about you? What was your request?

Just a consent form for PCC.

GTI EOI is purely assessed based on candidate's qualification, achievements and contribution they can make to Australia, relationship status is irrelevant during EOI. You can include your fiancee in your IMMI application, provided your fiancee fits into the de facto partner's description, there's no problem with this.


It means you need to lodge your application on IMMI and pay the application fee, only then you will get a letter from the visa processing team to apply for Hong Kong police clearance certificate.


If you can get PCC that doesn't require a letter from the Department of Home Affairs, you should submit in your application now rather than later. If you don't, you are likely to get a s56 requesting you to provide it. Generally I advise people to submit all necessary documents in the initial application to avoid s56 and any delay in application process.

Regarding health check: after you lodge your application on IMMI and pay the application fee, you will be provided a list of the examinations you need to do and HAP ID, which you need for making health examination appointment. So don't worry about this now during the application.

Thanks a lot for your insightful suggestions.

Hi guys. I recently got s56 for Form 80 for my non-migrating husband. In that form there includes "Proposed travel or further stay details" and "Address(es) in Australia". He is not applying for this visa, he was included as "non-migrating member of the family uni". What should we fill in form 80 in those section?

It will depend upon the evidence that you have provided to support functional english criteria.

For my wife, I used the information from the university website that mentioned english as the medium of instruction. There were issues in arranging the certificate from the university and they were not co-operating. It seems that this worked as they did not raise the point around it in s56. As a back up, she appeared for the Toefl iBT and cleared the test.

It’s extremely hard for anyone to predict
The thumb rule is that the stronger your application, the quicker is the grant
Highly qualified and sought after applicants, get their grants in matter of days also

Does Medical exam need to be conducted before the GTI visa application is lodged? I see in the visa application, there is a question: “ have you taken medical exam in last 12 months”….

Any info around it appreciated.

That option is for whom had lodged visa application in last 12month.For medical exam is automatic triggered, if they are refused and resubmit their application they don't need the exam again.
Most applicants don't have taken. You should take it after lodge and have got a HAP id.
