life in the UK test or relevent qualification

Post by moufeed » Sun Nov 02, 2014 2:11 am

Please help if you can
I brought my wife over from morocco nearly 6 years ago, my wife has Indefinate leave to remain which she has had for about 4 years and would now like to apply for citizenship, the only issue I'm coming across is the life in the UK test I wanted to check if her qualifications that where submitted and accepted when she applied for her Indefinate can be used for her citizenship application as I've been advised by some that they can be used and others have advised that she nay need to sit the life in the UK test as the law changed in 2013.
My wife has confirmation of achieving a certificate in ESOL skills for life Entry Level 3 which was delivered within a citizenship context by a registered qualified teacher and used materials delivered from "The citizenship for ESOL Learners" pack produced for the Home Office by NIACE and LLU+
My wife also has the following qualifications also awarded by The City & guilds of London institute

02 March 2011
City & Guilds Entry level 3 ESOL Skills for Life speaking and listening (South Birmingham College)
22 Sept 2011

Entry level 3 Adult literacy, speaking and listening
Adult literacy, Reading Entry level 3
Adult literacy, Writing entry level 3 (South Birmingham college)

02 Sept 2013
City & Guilds Functional English and Writing Entry level 2
Functional English speaking, Listening and communication at entry level 2
Functional skills qualification in English at entry 2 (Birmingham Metropolitan College)
If you can be so kind to help answer my question which is are these good enough to apply for citizenship or would she also need to sit the Life in the uk test aswell.

She will need to sit life in the UK. The law changed from October 2013. You could have applied before then as she clearly qualified .

I am applying for British nationality and have somehow lost my life in the UK test notification letter and do not even have a copy of it or the test number. I sat for life in the UK test in March 2013.

I got my ILR in October 2013 and I sent life in the UK test notification letter with ILR application. I presume they might have a record of it.

I have a Master’ degree from UK University, which I will send with my application.

Will it be sufficient if I state in the cover letter that my life in the UK test notification letter is lost and that it was sent to Home Office with my application for ILR in June 2013. Please advise.

Thank you very much in advance

Victor
