Hi MYRE, I'm really to hear your wife's visa was refused.

Did she take the City & Guilds IESOL speaking & listening 'spouse' test? My partner took this test last month and we are currently waiting for his results. My understanding from the test centre (in Leeds, UK) was that we will receive an email confirming his score and if he has passed, one certificate that covers both speaking and listening. I was planning on submitting both the email of results and original test certificate with our spouse visa application.

Sorry to hear that.
You need to enquire about this as a lot of people were refused due to having only being given 1 certificate from City and Guilds. You need to have one for listening and one for speaking.

Do you mean you forgot to put in an accommodation document? Or did they overlook it?

No they Have over looked the documents so guess its a waiting game now.

Any ideas what you're going to submit?

You would think people in such a role would not over look things especially considering the files have been there for 6 months!!!!

I'm worried about something crucial being overlooked in my case :/

what are you going to do in regards to the english ceritificate?

Don't be too sad, at least it isn't a complicated appeal issue- Just try have some more patience, chances are over the reasons it will get overturned.

Sorry for the late reply,

My wife has met the requirment for the English language so just puting documents confirming what the UKBA state what is required for a spouse visa application as evedience funnily its come straight from the UKBA website. Cases are over looked all the time as were humans we all make errors but the most important thing we must rember is how the Embassy can overcome the error once it surfaces,

MYRE, that's a good attitude to have. Good luck with your appeal.

May I ask which documents did your wife receive from City & Guilds to confirm she met the language requirement?

Thanks

Hi Myre. my visa got rejected for the same reason. I lodged my appeal over 5 months ago, pending review deadline date was given - 14/12/2012. Only one day to and still not heard anything yet. Please do keep us updated on any developments.

I included the following in my appeal pack:

- The UKBA reference document - English Language Test requirements PDF (available from the UKBA website). Highlighting page 12 (option 3), the acceptable City & Guild documentation.
- A copy of the UKBA Information/Guideline for partners PDF, also available from UKBA website. Highlighting on page 4, the English language requirement.
- the supporting documents from the Morely-Young Partnership Ltd - the company which my wife attended to get complete the required English tests. This included an explanation of why a test certificate is not provided when the listening section is only completed, how the English language requirement has been met by wife and also reasons for why they disagree with the decision. Also why a certificate is not issued. Probably the most important document in my appeal pack.
- Summary of why we disagree with ECO's reason for refusal.

Can anyone advise how long it took to receive certificates from City & Guilds after sitting the ESOL speaking and listening exam?

Their guide lines are 32 working days but its now been 36 working days since my partner took his exam and still no results. We have contacted them and they say they will answer within 5 working days but close on Friday for Christmas holidays until 2nd January!

We are planning on submitting our spouse application in January and I'm started to panic that the certificates won't be available in time.
