English language evidence and PBS is no more available

[freemind76]

Hi,

I was granted ILR last March 2015. For the proof of English language, I gave printouts of PBS calculator last time and it worked.

For British Citizenship, the guidance notes say I can supply the printouts of PBS calculator but it is no more possible as PBS calculator is not active on home office website.

One of the options in the form is I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013;

Question: Do I need to provide any proof for English language? If yes, what is it?

Other options in the form as as below.

In form following options are available

i. UK NARIC has confirmed that the qualification was taught or researched in English; or
ii. the qualification was taught or researched in the UK or a majority English speaking country (other than Canada);
Or
I am a national of a majority English speaking country;
Or
I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013;
Or
I wish to claim exemption on the basis of my age, physical or mental condition (physical

That link doesn't give any clear answer am afraid.

If I tick on met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October , do I need to provide any proof?
If yes, what it could be?

Here's a recent problem another member had.

In this case the OP has obtained ILR after 28th Oct 2013. Isn't just ticking the option "I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013" and not provide any proof enough?

The other post that Vinny mentioned where OP has mentioned that they had the ILR for many years (maybe before Oct 2013?).

Anybody please?

If you tick you met the requirement etc, HO can still ask you for proof. Many members have reported ticking the same box and still being asked to submit evidence after application has been submitted.

Okay...

Finally, called home office today.

For everybody's benefit, PBS printouts are no more an option even if you were awarded ILR after 2013.

You have to have either statement of compatibility or b1 level certificate.
