Yep that was before but the new rule states that and i quote
Approval criteria for English language
There are two ways in which applicants can meet and evidence the English language
requirement:
• an International English Language Test System (IELTS) test report, showing
an overall band score of six or above, which was issued no more than two
years before the date of the application; or
• an academic qualification, at Bachelors degree level that was taught in English
and is equivalent to a UK Bachelor degree. This does not need to be gained
within any set period. • Exceptionally, if the person already has an equivalent English language
certificate, we can accept this, if it is equivalent to IELTS band six. This does
not need to be gained within any set period. end quote
i just read their updated policy, too bad its getting harder every time :(
