I bilveive what ever the new changes comes it is applicable only for new applicants

In your case i think you must have submitted the IELTS test copy along with your application in 2008 so for your wife 4.5 is enough

Is it compulsory for spouse to give IELTS ( and score above 5.0) ? or Can he/she prove English competence by some other means like by producing documents to prove that he/she working in English speaking country or completed some course in English speaking country, etc ??

u have to priduce documents that she has sutdied in an english medium school for atleast 5 years and all the subjects were in english (i am not sure if it is 5 yrs this was discussed a few days back, search and u wil get exact figure).

also, it depends on teh CO, if they are happy with the proofs, you wont have to take the ielts but if they r not satisfied, they can either ask for ielts or ask for a second installment which is basically for tuition in english language once u arrive..

Based on my exp only I told you to terminat this beggers ( W2CS) and take the case on your own but i am wondering what made you to stop that. Because Oz immigration is not rocket science, I also realized on late stage only but at right time I hope.

Anyway let us come to your case. You should have submitted IELTS copy for you and ur wife along with your application , last year. Why you are asked to provide the test result now !! Is it second time you are giving or you got married recently and your wife added in your application now ?
If you like to know the status of application or if you like to know DIAC has received your documents or not you can call them directly . But if you like to have email communication then you must have terminated your agent

Thanks all
As my wife Ielts score is 4.5 (dependent)
Dont worry ! it will work.

I didnt even submitted my spouse's IELTS proof. I just wrote letter that she studied in english language.

For secondary applicant only "FUNCTIONAL ENGLISH" is required. Which means any of ur evidence wotn work then ur CO may ask u to pay "English education charges" which is approx AU $2500 (not sure abt the exact figure).

Spouse IELTS not required at the time of application.
Sure you can add IELTS later.
At the time of Medicals & Pcc also you can add Spouse IELTS score

Thanks Hari.
Another question, can I add my spouse's skill assessment, ielts, etc information later in the application so as to claim 5 points for spouse skills ? Or is that only possible at the time of initial application ?

I totally agree with you, i too wasted 2 years and lots of money behind this beggers who are called Premiers in dubai... they are dumb nuts. i request all other aspirants if you want to apply for PR then research a bit and apply by self..

i personally applied 2nd time online.. now waiting... lets see...

best of luck

Hi,

For secondary applicant only band score of 4.5 is required in IELTS and not 5.0

5.0 has not been mentioned anywhere in DIAC site (Changes to English Language Requirements) or any other forums.

There was a change for the minimum score by the main applicant from 5.0 to 6.0 a while ago I am not sure when. May be this is where the 5.0 came from. But it is not related to the spouse score.
