Hi dear members and moderators, hope all well!
I am applying ILR for my wife using new services. (decision in 24 hours)
she has passed her GESE GRADE 5 B1 test today and got a provisional result, I am just wandering she can use this result for her ILR application or she has to wait for the certificate in the post?
your kind suggestion and any comments highly appreciated.

Hi, thanks, dear Vinnay!
I just read the guidance said you don't need to provide a certificate just provide URN. However, I filled online application which asked to provide the certificate.
please, could you clarify what should I do from your experience?
many thanks again
