ILR English language requirement

[ajd]

Hello immigrants!

I am planning to apply for ILR in next month under Tier1 General route. The query I have is on behalf of my dependent.

My wife (my dependent) has this qualification from City & Guilds -
Functional Skills qualification in English at Level 1 - 500/9319/8
This is listed on Ofqual register (http://register.ofqual.gov.uk/)

I have attached the certificate for your quick and complete reference.

Can you please let us know if this is sufficient to prove her knowledge of English for settling?

[CR001]

When did she take this English test?

The official approved list and the transitional list till November 2015 below :

Thanks for the response.

Well, this was not a test of English for settlement (ILR), but a 1 year weekly evening course done for some other career aspirations. She passed this course in summer July 2014.

The Gov.uk website at https://www.gov.uk/english-language/app ... ifications says -
3. Approved English language qualifications
You can prove your knowledge of English by having an English level B1, B2, C1 or C2 level qualification that’s one of the following:

an ESOL qualification at Entry 3 or higher (eg Level 1 or 2) on the Ofqual register taken in England, Wales or Northern Ireland
an ESOL qualification at Scottish Qualifications Framework levels 4, 5 or 6 awarded by the Scottish Qualifications Authority (SQA) and taken in Scotland
on one of the Home Office’s lists of recognised English tests and qualifications - look at the newer list if you’re applying on or after 6 April 2015

Please suggest.
