Can my A1 and A2 English be used for ILR

Post by sarrial » Sun Aug 29, 2021 6:16 pm

Hi

I came to the UK as spouse of British citizen in 2016 when I passed A1 English test. I applied for extension in 2018 and passed A2 English test.

Do I need to take another test (B1) for ILR or my previous A1 or A2 certificates can be used?

Thank you

You need the B1 test for ilr.

A1 and A2 will not be accepted

Thank you appreciate prompt response.

It is weird that one has to prove English 3 times until ILR. Hope B1 is accepted for citizenship later on.

You could have done B1 in 2016 and used it for all applications.

B1 is used for citizenship too.
