How long does the B1 certiface takes to arrive ?

Dear all

Applied for citizenship on 7th Sep. I received an email from CW stating that I haven't provided an acceptable English language qualification. I provided my ESOL E3 certificate which was accepted when I got my ILR in 2015 (gov.uk states that I will be accepted if it was accepted for settlement). However just to make sure everything is ok, I already booked my B1 GESE 5 exam for tomorrow . CW replied that it would be absolutely fine to scan and send the provisional result. However I am still not convinced that they will approve my application as I will have passed the exam after the application.

Has anyone got any idea ? What would happen to my application ? Will they refuse it or approve it ?

If Case Worker has given you the option to give provision result it looks like they are looking to approve.

Passed the test with 2As yeyyyyy happy days. Scanned and Forwarded it to the CW by email. Also sent it in the post to make sure CW sees the original copy himself.

Fingers crossed , hopefully will be all okay.

E-mail the certificate copy as well once available, just to be on the safe side.

Spoken to Trinity college , the certiface will be delivered to CW directly by guaranteed delivery.

However the deadline is the 10th , hopefully it should arrive by then but if it arrives on the 11th , will it cause a problem. Already mentioned that in the email and kindly asked for 1 or 2 days extension just in case anything goes wrong with the post.

Please give ideas guys.

Dear All

HO office requested an acceptable English language qualification which was provided with the application. It was an ESOL entry 3 certiface which was accepted when I got settled in the Uk 2015. Relying on the gov.uk It says regardless of the test being on the recogsnied test list , it will be accepted when naturalising. However it seems like they are not happy with my certiface. Anyway I took my B1 GESE GRADE 5 test on 2nd October and posted the provisional result to my CW directly. The original certificate will also be sent out to my CW directly however it is not processed yet as per my phone conversation to Trinity college advisor today.

The deadline is the 10th. However if certificate arrives on the 11th , will my application be refused? I already wrote a cover letter to my CW stating that it will arrive by 10th the latest.(sent it with the provisional result).

Please give some ideas....
