I have a bachelors degree from Pakistan and UK NARIC Statement of Comparability. On the English letter, they have mentioned the below statement. Will this be okay for naturalisation application. Please advice. Thanks.

Level Of English : The level of English language for the above degree course does not meet the requirements of CERF level C1.

Additional Information : Although it is confirmed that English is the medium of instruction in the teaching and examination system of the department providing this award. It unfortunately has not been possible to confirm that the necessary English language requirements for CERF Level C1 are met upon completion.

On the AN form, They are only asking for

I am in the process for apllying for citizenship and now I am stuck with this stupid letter stating exactly the same, though I have passed my IELTS in 2006 but they don't wants expired one, really annoying :(

It will be really helpful if you were successful in any way.....

You can use your expired IELTS for naturalistion.

3. What if your website says my qualification expires after 2 years?
The expiry dates on the SELT list in Appendix O, do not apply to citizenship applications.
For Settlement applications, we will accept Level B1 qualification on the SELT list or an
ESOL qualification on the OFQUAL register at Entry level 3 that has passed the expiry
date, if: The qualification has previously been accepted by us in connection with another
immigration application, e.g. for entry clearance, or (if it is being presented for the first
time) that is was taken in the UK, and is on the OFQUAL register.
