English Requirement for ILR

Asking for my friend:

She is due to apply for ILR via Set M. She entered the UK with a Tier 2 Gen Visa in 2015 and later switched her visa to Spouse (FLR M).

She used an IELTS academic cert (equivalent to B1 level) to prove her English knowledge for her Tier 2 Visa, which she has then successfully used for her spouse visa application and extension.

Now the online SET(M) form is asking for an SELT unique electronic reference number which is not given to the tests taken before 2015.

There are only 3 options for this question:

1) IELTS UKVI
- must select between SELT consortium or Trinity College London and unique SELT number needs to be entered

2) DEGREE IN ENGLISH LANGUAGE PROOF

3) NONE

How does she proceed with this?
Thanks!

Applications made on or after 12 November 2015 for naturalisation and on or after 19 November 2015 for ILR
For naturalisation applications made on or after 12 November 2015 and ILR applications made on or after 19 November 2015, the only tests that are acceptable are qualifications covering speaking and listening at B1 or above from the Secure English Language Test (SELT) list published on the Home Office pages of GOV.UK.

No other tests are acceptable and the test must be taken at an approved test centre.

Indefinite leave applications
The English language test must have been taken no more than 2 years before the date of application. However, tests that have been taken more than 2 years ago and have since expired can still be accepted where both of the following apply. The qualification:
• is from one of the providers on the current SELT list
• has previously been accepted by us as part of another immigration application,

such as for entry clearance
A qualification that is not from one of the providers on the current SELT list, is not acceptable even if previously accepted by us as part of another application

What date exactly did she get FLR M visa?
