How can you and your family qualify to apply for Naturalisation in April 2014 if you were only granted ILR in November 2013.

You have 3 options for your wife/partner

1. You can use the PBS calculator copy, if it's awarding her points for language. (Please bear in mind, if you are applying by NCS, please confirm with your council because not all the councils accept PBS docs).
2. She can go for language exam either ESOL/IELTS
3. Apply for Language Assessment Certificate from NARIC

Hope this helps!

Wife's ILR received in December 2013

1. When Can She start applying for naturalisation?
2. Other than the Life in the UK test (Can this be submitted again after being submitted when the ILR was applied for?)

In Addition to the following points

- you can communicate in English to an acceptable degree
(Is this where the ESOL, IELTS & Naric come in)?

Or is the Life in the UK sufficient. (This was acceptable before the 28 Oct changes occurred)

Please advise

Hello

In response

1. I am a British Citizen from Birth, and my wife has been with me since 2011, and had her ILR received in December 2013
2. So this LITUK can be submitted for the AN Application

Would IELTS for General or Academic training suffice to get a B1?
Other than IELTS is there any other Institutions?
