Hello there pleased to meet you, I'm afraid their requirements for the English exam is a total band score of 6.0 regardless of the individual score of all categories :(

its not 6.0 my dear. its 4.0, thats the minimum requirement for IELTS by the UKBA.

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 :(

I stand to be corrected but that link you given me is an old rule me love.

Also, she is applying for a fiancee visa and the minimum requirement is 4.0 only.

Im sure we will know who is right and wrong when we get one of the experts attention in here.
