English language test problem!

[Dant]

Any one can help me please.

To apply a UK spouse visa I supposed to do IELTS Life Skills but by mistake I paid for IELTS general after paying, giving exam, and today received results, I was told by a friend that I suppose to do Life skills and IELTS general wouldn't work.
Both IELTS Life skills and IELTS general are under UKVI. Both have Listening and speaking test which home office require. Even IELTS general is more advanced since its involved reading and writing too.

Any advice guys does it seem like I'm gonna have to sit for an other exam which was supposedly Life Skills

Any one?

Hi Dant

A IELTS General test is acceptable, as long as you achieve a minimum score of 4.0 in the speaking and listening parts of the test. As you said it covers more elements and generally is at the CEFR Level of B1 the only thing the ECO will look at is the speaking and listening scores. They will ignore the reading and writing parts for a spouse visa

you should be ok

Please make sure it is a IELTS for UK VI General test and not just a simple IELTS general/.
