Need Input Re English Test Requirement

Post by adeelishaq786 » Mon Oct 05, 2020 1:48 am

Hi,
Did B1 Grade 5 from Trinity back in 2016 and was refused ILR. Later went for Private / Family life, and were granted 10 Year Parent route (7 year chid).

Now looking forward to switch from 10 year route to 5 year route, so would like to know if I can still utilize B1 test or do I need to do A1 first and then A2 after 2.5 years?

Please confirm, Many Thanks in advance.

No, if it has expired.
32D.
If an applicant applying for limited leave to enter or remain under Part 8 or Appendix FM submits an English language test certificate or result and the Home Office has already accepted it as part of a successful previous partner or parent application (but not where the application was refused, even if on grounds other than the English language requirement), the decision-maker will accept that certificate or result as valid if it is:
....
fails.

Do another B1 test.

As its previous use was not successful, it can not be reused.
If you are confident enough, go for B1 as this saves you time and cost down the line.
