Hi,

My wife will apply for ILR soon but I am confused about the English Requirement. Does she need to pass a test? She studied English in an English school around 2 years ago and has got a certificate from the school and the level is upper intermediate (B2) and the requirement is intermediate only (B1)

But when I check the UKBA website, it gives an impression that she needs to pass a test (Like Cambridge exams etc)

Please help, many thanks.

Many thanks i noticed that her english school is on the list of British Council accredited schools

Does this mean that the certificate she has got is valid?

Hi

My wife did not take any tests as shown on the link.

She went to an English school for 10 months (in 2011) and upon completion of the studies they gave her a certificate showing her level. Obviously she took tests within the school.

This school is accredited by British council. (Accreditation UK as on UKBA website)

http://www.britishcouncil.org/accreditation-az-list.htm

So I am assuming the certificate is valid? Or she has to take new exams as in your link?
