YourVisaSite has arranged this copy for searching. No lawyer or registered migration agent has reviewed it, and it does not assess eligibility or choose a form, course or provider for you.

Who lodges it

The PEV applicant lodges the undertaking, and it may also apply to a spouse or de facto partner included in the application who is unable to demonstrate the required level of English.

When it is used

It is used when a PEV applicant (or their included partner) cannot demonstrate the required English proficiency and chooses to commit to the AMEP, attaching the signed undertaking to the visa application through ImmiAccount.
