Please advice

This is the current list for approved tests & test centres. She should check whether her test in on the list for A1 level. B1 level English + Life in the UK won't be required until she applies for ILR in 2.5 years time.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.
