Changes in IELTs requirement for ILR

Post by idnoble » Wed Jan 10, 2018 10:19 pm

Hi experts,

I was just filling my SETO form and I got the the where they are asking for SELT unique electronic reference number. I confidently pulled out my 2012 IELTs result taken in Saudi Arabia out and couldn't find any such thing.
Then the search began and I realised there have been some changes to what IELTs you can take but I'm still confused.

Can someone please tell me if I can still use this my IELTs result? I'm applying for ILR based on 5 years on Tier2 general visa.
Please don't tell me I have to take another test as I was hoping to apply in person in one month from now

You have to book another exam, I'm afraid. I've booked mine for 3 February, £162.50 down the drain.

You need to sit a SELT exam as non-SELT ones appear not to be accepted anymore even if used previously
