I thought this might be of interest to anyone who may still be reading this thread. I have tried many times to get a direct answer from UK VAC as to whether the ELSA test result (A1) is accepted for the Visa application in regards to settlemnt here in UK.
The closest I got was this reply today in answer to my question :
Is the E L S A test accepted by the Home Office at this moment and up to July 17, 2011 or even afterwards , as proof of the required standard when applying for the Settlement Visa to the UK .? My wife paid for and took the E L S A test.
Best regards and thankyou for your patience and attention , !
Dear Mr ********,
Greetings from UK VAC!
The Theodolite exam is valid for 2 years. Thus, we will still accept the test result of your wife even if you will be applying beyond 17 July 2011.
Sincerely,
