You would be covered by S3C/D during your appeal if your initial application was made in-time, prior to your former visa expiry date. Meaning you would now have the same immigration status as you did prior to your visa expiry. So the question is, what visa did you have? Was it a Tier 1 General visa?

OP, in response to your subsequent PM, the question raised here is not about your husband's immigration status; it's about your current immigration status. What is your current immigration status in the UK?

Please see the information posted below:
http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas ... -language/

It also contains a link to the UKBA approved English language tests, which you can use to verify whether your husbands current qualification meets the requirement:

OP, if responding to this, please do so under this topic rather than via PM, to maintain context and continuity of your topic and to also enable others to respond if they can do so.
