Has she got a B1 level...in English launguage test.

Q1: What are the English language requirements when applying for Naturalisation?

You will need to prove your knowledge of the English language when applying for citizenship, unless exempt.
You can prove it by having either:
- an English qualification at B1, B2, C1 or C2 level (C2 > C1 > B2 > B1), or
- a degree taught or researched in English.


Q2: Which are the Exempt categories?:

You don’t need to prove your knowledge of English if you:
1. met this requirement, on or after 28th October 2013, in order to obtain settlement (ILR or PR), or
2. are under 18, or
3. are aged 65 or over, or
4. are unable to, because of a long-term physical or mental condition (You must provide a letter from a doctor confirming your physical or mental condition)

Thanks Tamilmaran! I did read the faq before posting and could not find an answer to my concern. And No the Esol is the only document she had to prove the language requirement, she sat the Esol test to prove that when she was applying for ILR. Now she misplaced it and is wondering if she meed to resit another language test.
