IELTS for Spouse Visa Pakistan to UK

[klite12]

Hi,

My wife has got her test booked for the IELTS Life Skills A1 in Pakistan at the British Council. Does the IELTS need to be (UKVI) or does the basic IELTS Life Skills A1 suffice?

I'll copy paste what it shows on the page of her account on the British Council site -

Module:IELTS Life Skills A1
Date:25 May 2017
Fee:20,550.00 PKR
Country:Pakistan
Test Location Details
Location:Islamabad
Venue Name:Embassy Lodge LS/UKVI

Would this be accepted by the Home Office? Or does it need to have the (UKVI) bit? I'm quite confused.

Hi Klite,

it must be the IELTS for UKVI see page 2 of FAQ below from gov.uk

Test centres in Islamabad can be found on page 10 of the following approved list from gov.uk. Your centre would appear to be there

Hope that clears it up for you.

Good Luck
