Hi,
Please advise , in case partner's points are not claimed then 5.0 band is required for Partner in SMC.... In case ITA is received then upon submission time, we need to submit test result....
OR
We can have option that we select ESOL tuition and pay as per our band score.... When do we need to submit IELTS for Partner.... My concern is submission time , same within 4 months after ITA or later....
below i found on NZ website :
"The cost of your family’s ESOL tuition will depend on how well they can speak English. If your partner and children (aged 16 and over) speak some English, they can take an English language test to find out what their level of English is - test results must be no more than 2 years old at the time your application is lodged. We’ll use the test scores to decide the level of the tuition they will need. The higher their test score, the less you will need to pay for their tuition."
