Ielts minimum testing standard is B1 and this suffices for spouse visa.

do you have to get a B1 in all modules or just in speaking and listening?

You do the digging sir. I am sure you have clearly read what the requirement is. I am only going to tell you from where you have read what is required.

Hi mate

My wife in Bangladesh has just received her results for the ielts exam:

Reading 1.0
Listening 4.0
Writing 5.5
Speaking 6.0

And the total mark was 4.0

I believe that she only requires 4.0 or above for listening and speaking for the uk spouse visa. I have seen this in the guidance notes FAQ on the home offices website.

However I received a lot of conflicting information. I called up the ielts information office here in London and they have advised that 4.0 as a minimum is required for all subjects for a uk spouse visa.

Can someone please advise whether the above score is sufficient for my wife to apply for a uk spouse visa.

Thank you in advance,

Amber
