Dear Cherrie, Thank you for contacting the UK Visas and Immigration International enquiry service. The arrangement that the Home Office had with Educational Testing Service (ETS) to provide Secure English Language Testing (SELT) ended on 5 April 2014. As a result we have suspended accepting ETS tests as evidence of English language ability from new applicants. If you wish to make an application you should read the list of providers and take a test with an alternative provider. You can check the list of English Tests approved by the Home Office and the updates in this link:.https://www.gov.uk/government/public...g-for-uk-visa- approved-english-language-tests We hope that this has answered your query. For any further details, or should you need to contact us again, please refer to our website at:.http://ukvi-international.faq-help.com/ We would like to invite you to participate in a brief survey about the service you received from us to identify strengths and opportunities for improvements..https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/UKVI-CSAT.Thank you in advance for your time.

Personally I think that was a disgraceful reply and a complete waste of time.
The new International Help Team have done nothing more than copy and paste the existing unhelpful statement issued by UKVI which was already published on the GOV website here

Sir Peter, can you suggest other ways of contacting UKVI? Phoning them and writing to them only directs me back to International Enquiry Service. Or shall I just wait on what UKVI will say about my ETS Certificate when they already assessed my documents?

Well Cherrie, being realistic you've no choice but to wait for the UKVI decision on your application. Withdrawing at this stage means you'd lose your fee payment and would still not know whether your TOEIC would have been accepted or not.

The reason to keep probing for clarity from UKVI on your question is primarily to help ease the stress level (by taking some action) and also to force UKVI to update their position.

Why not take a no-cost approach and send again to the International Enquiry Service.
Try to be more specific such as asking will your TOEIC be accepted by UKVI since you already submittted your Visa Application before UKVI issued their statement about ETS.
Tell them you want a specific answer and do not require links to UKVI webpages which you can access without the need for an International Enquiry Service.

Use as many different contact details as you can find.

Well that's what I'd do anyway.......but then I just like to see who will respond so I have yet another contact detail.

Actually I'm waiting for their reply again since they didn't answer the most important question in my mind. I sent another message to them last night. Thanks Sir Peter, maybe I need to annoy them more so they will give me a direct answer.
