Do you have any idea about second installment in this link

The 1st instalment ($270) of the Visa Application Charge must be paid at the time of application.

The 2nd instalment ($4,110) of the Visa Application Charge for dependents aged 18 years or over with less than functional English must be paid before the visa is granted.

Thank you very much Janaka.
My friend lives in aus with his wife. if so, does he need to pay 2nd installment for his wife.

If she has functional English means
Evidence of an International English Language Testing System (IELTS) score of at least an average 4.5 for the four test components (speaking, reading, listening and writing)
Or she has paid second instalment when she come to Australia with current visa
Then no need to pay

Very clear. thanks a lot janaka. Bohoma Isthuthi....

Hi all just a general question for all those you did not submit their medicals with their applications? how many were asked to redo medicals and if you did, did they say why?

Reason I am asking is some people dont get asked to be rechecked? some do I did see the out of the country for more than 3 months reason but for some reason it doesn't make sense unless they give it as a reason when requesting medicals? what purpose does it serve? do they count each time you where out of the country together or must it be 12weeks in one go?

I would prefer not to redo the medicals due to the costs...

Some people may get asked to redo medicals because of the countries they have visited, or because of issues which were noted on the original. All kinds of reasons. If you get asked to redo a medical you can ask your CO why, but if they insist then you will have to do it, they will not accept "costs too much" as an excuse.

Hi All

Any updates on your status seems to be quite for every one
