ILR Set LR - English Language - Application not asking B1 test certificate

[kraviraj82]

Hi,

Please help with the query.
I am applying ILR Set LR for my wife and she has completed her engineering in India which was taught in English. She recently passed B1 English - Graded Examination in Spoken English with distinction from Trinity College London.

Query - In Set LR application, the document declaration is not asking to upload B1 English language test certificate to prove English instead asking to upload ECCIS letter as below. Please advise how to address this issue.

Ecctis letter that confirms the qualification meets or exceeds the recognised standard of a Bachelor's or Masters degree or PhD in the UK AND confirm the level of English to which the degree was taught or researched.

Thanks
Ravi

She may satisfy the English language requirements in several different ways.

If she is relying on her foreign degree, then 2.2(a) requires

iv) the applicant has obtained an academic qualification (not a professional or vocational qualification) which is deemed by Ecctis to meet the recognised standard of a Bachelor’s or Master’s degree or PhD in the UK, and

• (1) provides the specified documentary evidence to show he has the qualification, and
• (2) Ecctis has confirmed that the qualification was taught or researched in English; or

Or, if she has recently passed a B1 approved test, then she may satisfy 2.2

(c) the on line verification system operated by an approved English language test provider, as published on the UK Visas and Immigration pages of Gov.uk, confirms that the applicant has passed an English language test in speaking and listening, at a minimum level B1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, which is approved by the Secretary of State, and taken at a test centre approved by the Secretary of State as a Secure English Language Test Centre no more than two years before the date of application.

The online form was probably confused on what evidence she was relying on. Even though the document declaration is not asking her to upload a B1 English language test certificate, I don’t think that it prevents her from referring to and uploading it?

It’s really her choice on how she wants to prove that she satisfies the English language requirements.
