Citizenship English test reqirement

Post by aaaaaa123 » Mon Apr 18, 2016 4:58 pm

Hi, My hubby applied for ILR in oct/nov 2014. His English test was done by Pearson's ESOL 3

My question is because this was accepted while applying for ILR will it also be accepted for Citizenship. I am a bit confused because I am aware only IELTS and Trinity college test are accepted but while reading the AN_ Booklet I came across this.

If you met the requirement to have sufficient knowledge of language and life in the UK when
you applied for settlement by having a B1 level test you do not have to demonstrate it
again. (People who applied for settlement on or after 28 October 2013 needed to have had
a B1 level qualification.)
Application submitted and forwad to ISB OC - 05/01/12
Refused 25/04/12
Appeal lodged 08/05/12

Q8)so ESOL is no longer accepted fro citizenship.

Q8a) He did meet the language and LITUK requirements in 2014 which were accepted at that time when applying for ILR.

I'm still a bit confused because of Q8 so does he have to take a new test?

Did you miss reading Q2? Or only read Q8 and nothing else?
