Hi, I hope someone can help me. I'm holding a spouse visa and enter the UK on 29 Jul 2012. As I'm come from Hong Kong so I need to get the English Qualification at first place for the visa. I'm now starting to read up the information to get my ILR application ready (though I know I can't apply for it until early of July). But I'm just wonder, do I still need to take a further test in order to qualify the settlement? I obtained IELTS C1 level two years ago and the certificate expires in April, does it matter if it is expired when I apply ILR and will HO accepts it??
I have read a document from HO regarding the changes to KoLL, it does say if someone already have a qualification at B1 level, no further test is required. I just want some reassurance that this is the case for me, otherwise I will just go and get a test again. Lastly, if this is the case, should I just attached my old test certificate to my application form or HO should have my record on file??
Many thanks!
