Hi there,
After 5 year of Tier 2 (General) VISA, I (as main applicant) and my wife (as dependant) submitted ILR application a month ago. I did a stupid mistake and submitted a coloured printout of "IELTS-B1 (life skills) English test Certificate" for my wife's ILR application. Now, when I realised it, I have already received HO confirmation for the application receiving and my Case ID number.
My problem is do I need to send her original "IELTS-B1 (life skills) English test Certificate" to HO? And, if yes, where to submit it?

Please help!
Many thanks,
Gaurav

The same address you sent your application but note with the case number and a letter what's happened.

Hi cyclina1,
Thanks for your reply.
Furthermore, could you please also advise, if HO really need original IELTS certificate, as they might check on the IELTS website using Ref certificate number; as they didn't specifically asked for the original certificate for dependent's English language test certificate (only ref number needed to fill in the online form).
Sorry! I am just worried if I send original certificate now, it may lost somewhere in the office! (as some people reported on this website that the document they sent afterwards was lost and untraceable).
Best regards,
Gaurav

For tests taken on or after 6 April 2015, applicants do not need to supply any evidence of the English language test - instead they must provide a unique reference number (URN). The URN is in the following format:
XXX/123456/123456/123456789 which consists of the:
o first 3 letters of the SELT provider’s name

o date of test

o test centre number 

o candidate number

This refers to NATURALISATION applications.

For ILR, the ORIGINAL documents must be sent as the ILR forms clearly state.

Hi all,
Thanks for your reply. Indeed, I have applied for ILR, so I think I should send Original IELTS-B1 Certificate.
