IELTS is one qualification on the new list of approved tests but note that the Glasgow centre is not on the list:Tier 4 wrote:I am bit confuse about changes in language requirements for Naturalisation.
I am applying British citizenship (naturalisation) in Dec 2015,
I have IELTS (GT) taken in June 2014 in Glasgow centre with 7 Bands overall. (I used it for my ILR too)
Should that be alright meeting the Language requirements for Naturalisation?

The Gov UK website is fairly clear:Tier 4 wrote:It was Glasgow caledonian university awarded by Cambridge English Language Assessment
Besides your link is about "Applying for a UK visa: approved English language tests"
I am applying Naturalisation
got this piece of information as well:
Some qualifications on the Home Office’s list will expire after 2 years.
If you’re applying for citizenship and took the test before 6 April 2015, your qualification will still be accepted even after it’s expired.
If you’re applying to settle in the UK, your expired qualification may still be accepted as proof if it was one of the following:
previously accepted by the Home Office in connection with another immigration application, eg entry clearance
awarded in the UK and is on the Ofqual register
You need to confirm your qualification with either a certificate or by checking that your results can be viewed online.
IELTS is on the new list but Glasgow Caledonian University is not a centre on the approved list.From November 2015, you won’t be able to use ESOL qualifications as proof for settlement and citizenship applications.
If you’re applying to settle in the UK...
Well, Glasgow Caledonian can't be on the list mate, neither do Oxford, Cambridge etc etc my IELTS been awarded by “Cambridge English Language Assessment” that's what all it matters AND ITS ON APPROVED LIST.noajthan wrote: IELTS is on the new list but Glasgow Caledonian University is not a centre on the approved list.
I am not talking about transitional arrangements, Look at the bottom of the page you linked.noajthan wrote: You have quoted the transitional arrangements that only apply from April 2015 up to 5 November 2015 but you state you intend to apply in December 2015.

Everyone here will be able to only present their own interpretation of the rules / changes, that you might or might not agree to!!
So, wait till the changes are published ... and know for sure then.

Correct.Gomjaba wrote:noajthan wrote:I see the quote on the page now but it's about settling not naturalising.
Surely naturalisation = citizenship applications

So still confuse but thinking better safe than sorry and do it again in their nominated centre, as I still got 5 months to go.

(Still enclose evidence with application).
Hello, I am in the kind of same situation. Which email address you have used to get this reply? Have you done any other research regarding this. Please see my thread(its a bit messy, as mods decided to merge all of my different threads, but go to 4th page).Tier 4 wrote:
Got a reply by email as well:
Dear _______
As you have evidenced that you have met the requirements for your English language after October 2013, then you do not need to send this evidence again when applying for naturalisation.
You should tick this box on the application form
I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013;
Kind regards
