English language requirement with old IELTS

[Muscovite]

I am aware there were a few topics about the same already but what makes it different is this:

1) I want you to post here the confirmation that you obtained a citizenship using old IELTS (beyond its validity, i.e. more than 2 years old) as a proof of metting English language requirement. Do we have anyone who went through this yet?

OR

2) A written reply from UKBA clarifying the issue and confirming that IELTS certificates will be accepted beyond their validity.

Thanks.

evidence has been submitted from one of our providers but at a test level not specified on our list. This cannot be accepted. Only tests and test levels that are specifically included on our list are acceptable for UKBA purposes. For example, an IELTS test is received that shows a score below the B1 level specified in our list. This cannot be accepted as evidence of A1 proficiency because IELTs do not map below B1.

However, please refer to binhn8's post
