Tier 2 General English Language skills

[xor83]

Today I got email from UK Immigration to provide "English Language skills" Level B1 withing 10 days. I contacted local IELTS centers and they told me that it will take around 1 month to get certificate. Will it be okay to send details to UK immigration after 10 days as they requested in email? Will this create any issues?

Please advice

The English requirement and approved tests is clearly stated on ukvi's website. Did you miss it or submit a test that is not accepted or not an approved test?

My uk employer and VFS both told me that I don't need English test and today I got this email.

It is the applicants responsibility to ensure they meet the requirements and submit all the supporting documents. It always has been the applicants responsibility. If you are from India as your flag suggests, you are also not from an English test exempt country.

Your employer is not an immigration expert or agent. Why would they tell you that you don't need to submit something when it is clearly stated in the guidance and the immigration rules.

VFS is only a third party agent.

You need to do an approved test from an approved test provider, as per the list in the link below. I would strongly suggest you do NOT do the academic tests for a tier 2 visa.

I know I made a mistake but will they going to reject if I not able to submit the documents within 10 days?. Any wild guess?

[CR001]

If you cannot submit the evidence within 10 days, you will need to ask for an extension to the time otherwise the visa will be refused.

If you are from India please check languagecert they will provide result in 2 days.

Useful to state that it must be a test done at a set centre and not the online test, which is not accepted for UK visas.
