B1 Certificate older than 2 years.
Posted: Wed Jan 03, 2018 10:01 pm
I got my B1 certificate on 20-JUL-2015, issued by Trinity College London
I am applying for the British Citizenship now. However, the certificate is now older than 2 years.
I also had the Permanent Residence Certificate, which I obtained in Nov 2016, when the B1 Certificate was still valid.
Does it mean I can still use the English Certificate? According to the HO page, I can because "You can use a B1 level qualification that’s run out if you’re applying for citizenship and it was accepted when you settled in the UK".
However, I didn't have to prove my knowledge in English to get the Permanent Residence Certificate, hence the confusion.
Please advise.
Regards.
