Hi All
I will be applying for my wife's British Citizenship soon. She has used the English B1 Certificate for her ILR application. My query is that, can we use an expired B1 certificate for Citizenship application if the same was used for ILR?
Thanks..

If the B1 certificate was used in support of the ILR application then it can be used for naturalisation. You just select the appropriate box under English requirement.

Thank you for your response. Just want to reiterate, can it still be used if it has expired while submitting the citizenship application?

Settled = your ILR
