IELTS Life Skills A1 (test taken outside UK)

[1up2down]

Hi all,

Was reading through Immigration rules Appendix O: approved English language tests, according to this For tests taken outside UK on or after 6 April 2015: no document required (scores will be verified using the IELTS SELT Consortium online system using a unique reference number which should be stated on the application form).

Does this mean we just need to provide reference number not the certificate?

At this moment it takes 1 week post-test (IELTS life skills A1 for spouse visa,test taken in India) to get the result online (which will have the unique reference number) & 3 weeks to get the certificate by courier, was just wondering that I could save couple of weeks by submitting the application just using reference number.

Is my assumption correct?

Suggestion welcome.

Yes, submit the application and state the unique reference number when you are asked to provide details on how you have met the English language requirements. (part 8 on VAF4A)

also state that you have not yet received the certificate but you should print off the email confirmation for the test and put it in with your paperwork.

are you using a solicitor, let me know how long it takes to get a decision and which center you apply at
