I've looked at your refusal letter. The Department refused your visa because they weren't satisfied with your English language requirement.

तर मैले IELTS दिएको थिएँ र स्कोर पनि राम्रो थियो। उनीहरूले किन अस्वीकार गरे?

Lawyer

English

They said your test was taken more than three years ago, which is outside the validity period. You have twenty-eight days from the refusal date to lodge an appeal with the AAT.

Yes, you can submit new evidence including a recent English test result. The AAT will reconsider the whole application fresh, not just the refusal reason.
