IELTS Confused (after FAQ)

[aaatech]

My wife hold IELTS Academic with 7.5 band and CEFR Level C1 valid till 13/06/2017.
It was cleared from centre in Leeds, UK. It also mention Test Report Form Number - 18digit
she is applying for ILR(as T1 G dependent).

Regarding English language requirement. Does she need to repeat IELTS?
Please advise, thanks in advance.

Looks like she will qualify and she doesn't need to take the exam again as long as she applies for her ILR before the expiry date.

thanks tckraju,

do I need to match test centre if test was taken in the UK?

[tckraju]

The above link will give you all the approved test centres.

Leeds is listed 5th and is approved.

Thanks,

I checked and test centre "Centre of English Studies (Harrogate & Leeds)" is not on approved list.
Looks like even she overqualified for this test still she will have to take IELTS Life Skills – B1.

what a waste of £150.00...

we decided to get UK NARIC letter for degree taught in English.
can we use NARIC English language assessment service instead of Visa and nationality service?
thanks.
