No you wouldn't have as PBS Dependents do NOT have to meet the English requirement for a visa or visa extensions.

The latest ielts has expired. She has graduated from a medical college in karachi. What are the alternatives she can use. Shall we use the NARIC service? We only have 10 days to respond.

She needs a new B1 English test or UK NARIC Red Route, English and comparable assessment. They both cost £150. English test will probably be quicker.
