Hi I Moved To Uk In 2012 And Have Received Settled Status In 2019 As 18 Year Old I Have Certificate

Posted on May 26, 2020

Hi. I moved to UK in 2012 and have received a settled status in 2019 as a 18 year old. I have a certificate in English which I did in 2019 FCE C1-Cambridge English which does not expire, but it is no longer on the list of exams which are approved.However, on the government website its states:"Some recognised test qualifications only last for 2 years. You can still use a B1 level qualification that you took more than 2 years ago in 2 situations.You can use a B1 level qualification that’s run out if you’re applying for citizenship and it was accepted when you settled in the UK.It does not matter if the B1 level test you took is not on the current list of recognised tests. You do not need to take another test." Do you think I need to do another exams?Thank you,

Public Answer

Thanks for the enquiry. When you did the Settled Status application, there was no need to show that you have passed the English Test and now for the citizenship application you would need to show that you have passed it. In your situation, yes, you must take the test.We suggest that you phone our office on 0203 959 9123 to book an initial meeting to discuss your matter.

Hans is incredible - look nowhere else !! My parents experience has been sensational . They have asked me to leave this review on their behalf . They had a very difficult case and were concerned about their future and Hans assisted them with a positive outcome which we thought could take years to resolve . From start to finish he and his colleagues had a one to one zoom call with us and then provided their advice and next steps . The best thing about Hans is he is always in contact , even in the evenings but this isn’t the only reason why he’s amazing , it is how articulate and how much care and thought they have put into the case that they managed to secure success . Hans you’re an asset to the firm and keep going and changing peoples’ lives . We couldn’t have done it without you . Anyone seeking advice and comfort , this firm , especially Hans has such an incredible reputation and will not let you down . Thank you Case Workers: Hans Sok Appadu
