[I am an EEA citizen from Hungary. I had obtained my permanent resident certificate last week from Home Office. I am a second year LLB Law student in a university in London. I was required to prove my English skills when I received my place to study law in 2013. My latest IELTS certificate is still valid until August 2015.
I would like to obtain information in terms of my status which is full time 2nd year undergraduate LLB law student, Am i still required to prove my English when a will attempt to apply for British Citizenship or the confirmation of my enrollment by the relevant institution is sufficient?
I am aware that I still required to pass Life in England exam however i am confused about how I can bring evidence of my English skills into the light sufficiently.
Best Regards
Zsigmond

Yes i have comprehensive sickness insurance as that is vital requirement from a full time student in order to obtain qualifiying permanent residency that i have by now.
Furthermoe, when i commenced my studies i had to prove B2 in order to get my place.

Why should i wait 12 months from receiving the PR ? IS that a Law which requires that ? Thank you for you answers.

You need to prove English at Level B1. The new approved list of test providers from 6th April is in the link below.

As you can only apply for citizenship after 12 months on PR (unless married to a British Citizen), you at least have time.

As you are a student, do you have comprehensive sickness insurance?
