Hi All,

I am preparing to apply for naturalization in 3 months time, I wonder if any one knows "When applying for naturalization,expired IELTS certificate is enough to prove English proficiency ?? "

I passed my IELTS in 2010 (band 6.5) whilst applying for my Tier 1 General visa. I applied for Tier 1 visa and it went successive.

I am thinking to attach same IELTS result with my naturalization application,but don't know if it will be acceptable or not ???????


Regards,

From my experience it will work. See FAQ's on this forum

I am also in similar situation. But bit worried that some NCS people may insist on latest english certificate from approved test centres or a Naric certificate for the degree. Be aware that PBS calculator is no longer in use from 6 April (Hope some admin will update this in the faq).

If you want to be completely safe , You can apply for a naric certification for your degree. It will cost £££. For my own case , I am still undecided on doing that.

My citizenship was approved In March 2016 (applied in Dec 2015). I have provided the IELTS certificate which I did in 2007. I have used the same IELTS certificate for my initial Tier 1 application, then ILR and now citizenship.
Hope that will be helpful
