Hi Pooneh
This has been a problem at the forefront of our minds here recently
The UKBA website appears to contradict itself regarding the B1 / E3 L & S qualification
I think the level of confusion is allowing this malpractice to continue
Is anyone aware of the answers to the following?
1. Is there a shelf life on an A1 qualification for FLR?
2. Do we have to provide evidence of progression for FLR?
3. Do we have to show evidence of progression for a B1 qualification for ILR / naturalization?
4. Do they have to study for a minimum number of hours for ILR / naturalization
Many thanks
Jane

Subject: ESOL Exam for immigration purposes
Dear All,
There is an issue which i wanted to share with you and have your input about it.
Since you all may aware that people have been required to produce B1 certificate in order to apply for indefinite leave to remain or British passport. Meanwhile there are some training centres who are taking advantage of the people and the immigration system by providing the certificate without actual exam or even by attempting to release the exam content to the examinee prior the actual exam to deceive the awarding bodies and to enable the examinees to pass the exam in one go.
In my opinion there should be a responsible organisation to monitor the training centres who are producing the ESOL certificate for immigration purposes.
I would value your opinions.
Many Thanks,
Pooneh
