Dear Arti, I am not a professional, just trying to help as much as possible. Perhaps another board member will offer more detailed advice than I can.

That's the way I understand it, tinux, but "passing from one level to another" surely means passing all modules in the level. She would not have to pass Reading level 1, level 2 and level 3 but she would have to pass Reading level 1, Writing level 1, Speaking level 1 and Listening level 1.

The landing card that he showed me has had the "For Official Use" section completed, and it is clear from the handwriting and the use of codes that it wasn't the student doing it himself. He aslo has a Form IS81 - Notice to a Person REquired to Submit to Further Examination, stating that h...
From which country did your student fly in from? The only conceivable way in which your student could have possibly entered the country via Heathrow without being stamped is if he flew in from the Republic of Ireland. The UK considers flights from Ireland to be domestic flights and thus all arrival...
