Hello all hope you are well,

My wife gained her B1 when she done her spouse extension.

She got her certificate dated 17/02/23.

As this is the certificate that is also required for ILR, the idea was to submit the same certificate.

Her Visa runs out in October 2025, are we able to use the one she gained 17/02/23? Or does she need to re take the test?

Many Thanks

She can reuse the same for ILR.

Thank you Zimba

Just for clarity, the certificate was obtained from Trinity College London.

The reason I mentioned that is, it mentioned they only have a 2 year validity for UK immigration.

Many Thanks

Indefinite leave applications
The English language test must have been taken no more than 2 years before the
date of application. However, tests that have been taken more than 2 years ago and
have since expired can still be accepted where both of the following apply.

The qualification:

• is from one of the providers on the current SELT list
• has previously been accepted by us as part of another immigration application, such as for entry clearance

A qualification that is not from one of the providers on the current SELT list, is not acceptable even if previously accepted by us as part of another application

Hello all, hope you are well.

I would like to get myself prepared for the IRL application for my wife and just wanted to know if the below documents I am looking to submit are correct and if I am missing anything?

Wifes Residence Permit Card
Wifes Confirmation of Visa application payment
Wifes Declarations from application
Wifes Copy of photograph page of Passport
Wifes B1 Language Certificate (Use in last application spouse extension. certificate date 02/2023)
Wifes Life in the UK certificate
Wifes Cohabitation Documents (Does this need to be a minimum amount of different sources? I believe the Spouse extension was 3 different sources. Also how many should be submitted with a date gap of how long between each?)
My (Husbands) 6 Months bank statements
My (Husbands) Contract of Employment from when I started working at current Employer Feb 2022
My (Husbands) Driving licence
My (Husbands) 6 Months Payslips
My (Husbands) Confirmation from employer of my employment and that payslips are authentic
Marriage Certificate
My (Husbands) Title Deeds of property I own and we live in


Many Thanks

It seems you have it all covered. Not sure what is the point of sending a driving licence

Thanks Zimba

Just a quick question around Cohabitation Documents

Last time I sent, Council Tax, Water Bill, Energy Bill, Joint Banks Statement.

Is there a minimum amount of sources that I need to submit? I read somewhere 6?

Also Is there a recommended amount of documents i need to submit and the gap between each e.g 1 document 4 months apart from the last 2.5 years?

Thank You
