IELTS query

[Pariket]

Hi all, we submitted our ITA on 28/08/2013.. My wife is a principal applicant. As my graduation ceremony was due, I provided my qualification certificate on 26/09/2013. Now we are waiting for CO to be assigned to our case. As we have claimed 20 points for my (partner's) qualification, we have provided IELTS certificate. This certificate will expire on 17/11/2013. So I am wondering, If final decision would not come till then, do I need to re-appear in IELTS or will the old result be considered?

The certificate has to be less than two years old at the time it is submitted. As long as it was in date when your ITA was lodged, that is all right.
