British naturalisation: English language requirement

Hello,

I wish to apply for British naturalisation.

I have my indefinite leave to remain, and I have passed life in the Uk test. I am currently in second year of my university degree course in London. I wanted to know that if a status letter from my university is enough to prove my English language skills as I still haven't received my degree or are there any more documents required for this?

Regards

I would say no. Only a degree proves that you have met the English requirement.
Do you have IELTS or something similar? Even the expired one will do as long you have used it before.

Thanks for the reply. I do not have ielts as well but prior to my university degree, I have completed Btec level 3 Extended Diploma at a Uk college. Will this work as a proof?

Regards

I don't know is the simple answer.
Maybe someone else knows or you can probably call HO and ask them instead.
If I have to guess, I would say no but I honestly don't know.

Only a bachelors, masters or a PhD degree from a university is acceptable as proof of english language
