Hi,
I am planning to apply for BC in Nov. So I will have to meet the new language requirement. I've met the B1 requirement for my Tier-1 application in 2010 by submitting IELTS result. How do I prove it when I am applying for the citizenship?
Regards,
Renzo

I have the same question. Not sure if the expired IELTS test result will still be valid or not.
I read the document from
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... hip/kol-uk, which says in page 3:
If you already have a qualification at B1 level
Applicants who already have an English language qualification at B1 level or above will not be required to take another one. For example, someone who demonstrated a knowledge of English equivalent to B1 level when applying for entry clearance will not be required to take a further test in order to qualify settlement.
Can anybody have clearer thoughts on this?[/url]

This is the same topic but the one you pointed out has not covered this. I am still happy if someone can explain if we could use expired IELTS/TOEFL test results when we submit during the original entry clearance application a few years ago.
Thanks in advance![/quote]

also what if some one has done O levels from Pakistan. Will that satisfy B1?
