English Test!

[Terpe]

I am confused by this advice as on the list of accepted English tests, it states that a minimum level 4 is required on all four elements. I can't find information stating that only speaking and listening scores are accepted for IELTS (any pointers?)

1. Immigration rules - Part8 - Family members - 281- i- (a)ii
2. Immigration Directorate Instructions - Chapter8 - Section FM1.21 - Partners & Parents English Language Requirement.

The applicant provides an original English language test certificate in speaking and listening from an English language test provider approved by the Secretary of State for these purposes, which clearly shows the applicant's name and the qualification obtained....

There are also numerous FOI requests where UKVI clearly state their required scoring is for Speaking and Listening only and that scores for Reading and Writing are disregarded.

Hope that helps you.
