Hi,

Assuming that I get 7 band score in IELTS, I've got 135 points (incl MODL) for subclass 175.

Will I be elegible if I get IELTS band score between 6 and 7 ?

Hi passionite,
If you have 135 points then IELTS 6.0 is enough to compete for the race!
Don't worry. For such confusion please read DIAC website!!

Well, I'm sorry if my previous message is confusing.

I'm currently having 110 points and going to attempt for IELTS.

Am I elegible if I get less than 7 band score, which will give me only 15 and totally 125?

For 175 you only require 120 points!

Thank you for the replies.

However, I've read in some thread that for 175 main applicant necessarily has to get 7 band or higher even though he has enough points..

Any clues..?

I take you are not from Britain, Ireland, New Zealand, Canada or the US. If so, you will need 6 in each component of the test (and cannot apply until you have successfully undertaken the test). It is explained here - http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/gener...ty-english.htm.

Just Copying from DIAC Website:
-------------------------------
A higher level of English is required for certain occupations where it forms part of the skills assessment. You can find out if your occupation requires a higher level of English by contacting the assessing authority for your nominated occupation. Contact details for assessing bodies are available at the end of the Skilled Occupation List.

175 VISA sub class only needs 120 points....

Anybody got assessed from ACS (C++ with MODL) and got IELTS less than 7 band score and done with visa?

Quick question - do your ILETS scores expire? Or can I register to take the test now and apply for the visa whenever without worrying?

Hello Nicola,
For the purpose of migration an IELTS test needs to have been done with 24 months of lodging your visa application.

2 years no doubt....if expires, you need to re-sit.

For secondary applicants it's even 12 months, check:

Assessing authorities such as engineers australia require 2 years as well
