So how did you plan to satisfy the English language requirement?
No.
I don't think it would help, unfortunately.

Hey! Thank you for doing this, I literally registered just now and could not figure out how to create a post separately
Applying for a skilled worker visa.
I don't think it would help, unfortunately.
When did you pass the test and was it a SELT?
The guidelines are pretty strict. Have a read: https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... accessible
I was hoping you'd done it around the time of application, as tests are usually valid for 2 years; I guess reusing your previous one isn't an option then.
I would absolutely encourage you to try your best to either submit what you have or get an extension on the deadline, but there's no guarantee of success.If the degree is from a non-majority English country or from Canada you must check on the Visa and Nationality statement from Ecctis (formerly UK NARIC), which the applicant provides as evidence with their application
I knew I cannot use this, as my IELTS certificate is expired in 2021, but at the time of application to the uni, it was valid.
I already started the application with ECCTIS and will go with the fast track, however during the application, it seems like it is the service for those who already completed their degree. I am still enrolled at the university (I finished the courses and I writing my thesis), but not graduated yet. The certificate that I have from my uni states that I am enrolled and my course is taught in English, + I have my transcript. Will this be sufficient for Ecctis? This is very confusing, is ECCTIS only for those who have a degree?
Thank you, yes they came back with a rejection about my application due to my degree not yet been awarded, and I just found out that they also deduct 25GBP from the money I requested a refund. So annoying.To use ecctis, you must have graduated and passed your degree.

Anyway, I took the English test and got my results. I sent the results by email to decision-making centre. Does anyone have any idea how long it will take now to process my visa application? I hope it is not another 3 weeks.Off Topic
Visa application is still okay, I was able to take the test and send the results to UKVI within the 10 days timeframe. I meant Ecctis rejected me due to my degree not being awarded.

How long normally it takes to review now since I sent the additional document to UKVI? Any idea? No hard and fast rule on this, sooner rather than later hopefully. Do update when you get your decision.
My visa is approved!No hard and fast rule on this, sooner rather than later hopefully. Do update when you get your decision.

Timeline:
- Applied for visa on 11 July
Biometrics 17th July
The additional document was requested: 31st July (I was given 10 working days to send the document)
The additional document was sent to UKVI: on 8th August
'The decision has been made email' from TLS 16th August (I didn't know the status yet, I was on the edge
the longest day of my life)
The UKVI sent an email about the status on 17th August and also got my passport delivered the same day.
So happy!! Flying next week! I thought the timeline would be helpful for others as I found this forum very helpful!
