leafmould Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 hi guys my wife just got the online results for the toefl test, ok thankfully but the score page doesn't really look like a certificate, the border agency asks for a test certificate. i called toefl in usa and they post out the results but it takes 4/5 weeks! and they say they don't provide a cert either, only a list of scores, probably same as online. we don't want to wait another month to apply. The question is does anyone know if the printout will be ok? i guess we can explain and if thats all they provide i assume it should be ok but i never assume stuff about them folks cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellboy86 Posted May 5, 2011 Share Posted May 5, 2011 My wife took her test I'n a college I'n the uk and certificate was provided to her on the day. As tou need the certificate to apply for indefinite leave to remain. The addresses for the test centres I'n the uk are on the ukba website I'm not sure if we are speaking about the same test as I know also that there were changes happening to some tests, good luck.

bangkockney Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 (edited) Official TOEFL score report is needed. Should only take 2 weeks normally. Edited May 6, 2011 by bangkockney Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafmould Posted May 6, 2011 Author Share Posted May 6, 2011 thanks bellboy but different thing, she's only doing for the settlement not the ILR yet, so not in the UK. that sounds good bangkockney, seems the printed online report will do, yes we got that in 12 days but ETS website says for the posted report- "Allow 7 – 10 days for mail delivery in the United States and more than four weeks for other areas. We recommend that you take the test two to three months before your earliest application deadline." ! i don't like the way TOEFL was done, she could only use the ฿3 pencil provided to take notes and if it broke during the 15 seconds allowed listening you could only put your hand up and wait to be given another, she also couldnt hear the passages easily because of other folk nattering away very close, not so good, seems the smaller operations that have been closed down may have been better!

bellboy86 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 I don't think it's a requirement to do the test the English test is for individuals who are applying for indefinite leave to enter or remain, however double check I may be wrong best one to ask is 7by7 good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted May 6, 2011 Share Posted May 6, 2011 Bellboy, Leafmould is asking about the New English language requirement for visa applicants coming to join partners in the UK, which came into effect on 29th November last. This must be satisfied before submitting the initial visa application, and evidence of this must be submitted with the application. The test for ILR/ILE is Knowledge of language and life in the UK. This can only be taken in the UK. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shaney24 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 Hi there! Could I ask what kind of scores your wife got. My husband has juts received his. 4/30 for listening and 15/30 for speaking. Is this enough to satisfy the A1 level? Can't find any info about this online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7by7 Posted August 26, 2011 Share Posted August 26, 2011 There are various approved test providers and they all appear to have different pass marks etc. Where did your husband take his test? Who was the test provider? Did he receive a certificate of any sort, and if so what does that say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
