English Test - ILR 5 year partner route

Post by EllenK » Sat Mar 28, 2020 8:57 pm

Hi
Could you please help me with the following :-
When I applied for FLR in December 2017 I sat and passed English test at Trinity College London.
Test dated 8 November 2017 - CEFR Level A2.1
Entry level certificate in ESOL International (Speaking and Listening) (Entry 2)

Do I have to do another test prior to applying for ILR in June/July 2020 as the above will be over 2 years old?

Many thanks

The ILR has a min requirement of English proficiency at B1 or higher. A2 is lower and will not be accepted

Also note that ESOL is no longer accepted either.

You must do the IELTS B1 test.

Thank you - I appreciate your assistance.
This will then be the third English I have had to sit during my process. !!!! You would think they could set one standard and allow it to be valid for duration of visa....
