For the avoidance of doubt I wondered if those more knowledgeable than me could clarify the position regarding the current english test prior to applying for ILR later this year.
My wife took the IELTS test and passed prior to applying for a fiancee visa to come to the UK and we have since got married etc, however it would appear that this certificate has a shelf life of 2 years which suggests that she will have to take the test again in order to satisfy the current requirements of the UKBA to stay here indefinately.It is not obvious to me despite reading through page after page in the UKBA website if this needs to be addressed before taking the life in the Uk test so I would be grateful if one of the learned colleagues in this forum could confirm what I suspect.
