Expired language test

[londonsummer]

I have received information that I need to re-take the B1 language test since my Trinity College test expired. However, when I read the home office website it states that I can use an expired test

Applying for citizenship

You can use a B1 level qualification that’s run out if you’re applying for citizenship and it was accepted when you settled in the UK.

It does not matter if the B1 level test you took is not on the current list of recognised tests. You do not need to take another test.

I am European and have successfully applied for IRL with the Trinity test, does this not meet the requirement above? I am confused.

English test is NOT a requirement for EU citizens applying for ILR or Settled Status. If you are an EU citizen, then it is unlikely you applied for ILR under the UK immigration rules.

does this not meet the requirement above? I am confused.

You need to take a test that is on the current HO list of tests and approved test providers.

An expired test can only be used if it was used in a previous UK Immigration application, so this does not apply to you and even if you submitted your now expired test with your PR application, it would have been disregarded completely as it was not required.

Thanks a lot for this quick reply.
