Applicants who already have a test certificate or result
A partner or parent applying for leave to enter or leave to remain is not required to
provide evidence of meeting the English language requirement if they have done so
as part of a successful previous application as a partner or parent. Paragraph 32D of
Appendix FM-SE provides for when this earlier test certificate or result can and
cannot be used.
This flexibility does not apply in circumstances where a test certificate or result
awarded to the applicant has been withdrawn by a provider such that it can no longer
be relied upon: in those circumstances the applicant must provide a fresh test
certificate or result from an approved provider which shows that they meet the
requirement, if they are not exempt from it.
Under paragraph 32C of Appendix FM-SE if an applicant in the partner or parent
routes submits a test certificate or result which has ceased, by the date of
application, to be:
• from an approved test provider
• in respect of an approved test
• from an approved test centre
We will not accept that certificate or result as valid, unless the decision maker does
so in accordance with paragraph 32D of Appendix FM-SE and subject to any
transitional arrangements made in respect of the test provider or test in question.
Under paragraph 32D of Appendix FM-SE if an applicant under the partner or parent
routes submits an English language test certificate or result and the Home Office has
already accepted it as part of a successful previous partner or parent application (but
not where the application was refused, even if on grounds other than the English
language requirement), the decision maker will accept that certificate or result as
valid if it is:
• from a provider which is no longer approved
• from a provider who remains approved but the test the applicant has taken with
that provider is no longer approved
• from a test centre which is no longer approved
• past its validity date (if a validity date is required under Appendix O)
