I doubt it, but wait for the new approved list.

hi
Do you know when the approved list will be published?

Also if some one has done O levels, will that satisfy B1?

Thanks

I'm not sure I fully understood the list, take IELTS for instance, 4 levels are listed in the docs as pasted below.
Level B1 seems rather on the low side to me (4.0 across all areas), is it still the minimum requirement ?

B1
B2
C1
C2
Refer to the band scores on your test report form:
Listening – 4.0
Speaking – 4.0
Reading – 4.0
Writing – 4.0

Listening – 5.5
Speaking – 5.5
Reading – 5.5
Writing – 5.5

Listening – 7.0
Speaking – 7.0
Reading – 7.0
Writing – 7.0

Listening – 8.5
Speaking – 8.5
Reading – 8.5
Writing – 8.5

It may seem low but that is the threshold.

Thanks Amber, so just to clarify, any level that is listed on that list (the link in your previous post) would be accepted as meeting naturalisation requirement ?
Thanks

It would satisfy the B1 requirement in addition to LIUK.

That list does not make sense to me. For example, minimum grades for B1 can be WEAK, but for B2 it must be at BORDERLINE at least, which is higher than B1 anyway. Same for others.
