Hello, Just wondering if anyone knew the answer to that question.

Which is the easiest English test approved and at what level approved by UKBA for Fiance Visa?

[newlight1]

Ohh and with the IELTS test with general test, how do the results come back? ie
for example;

Listening 4.5
Speaking 4.5
Reading 3.5
Writing 5.0

I have heard they only take into account the reading and writing? is that true?

[Victoria]

No, it's only speaking and listening.

[newlight1]

Thanks, so for example if someone got these scores

Listening 4.0
Speaking 4.0
Reading 3.0
Writing 3.0

This would be acceptable by UKBA?

[Victoria]

Yes.

[newlight1]

Thanks, Do you know anywhere that states that 4.0 of IELTS is only required for speaking and listening as looking on their link

http://www.ukba.home...glish-tests.pdf

on the 10th page down, it says


Listening – 4.0
Speaking – 4.0
Reading – 4.0
Writing – 4.0

If you would like further assistance with an application then you need to contact me for a consultation.  The information I have given is clearly stated on the UKBA website.

I think you should either take the advice given, which is correct, or go and carefully read the correct guidance - there is no reason for advisors to spend time finding proof that the advice given is correct.

Thanks, just trying to get the most expeienced help that I can thats all.

I have been told that basically Immigration advisers go in this level

OISC Level 1
OISC Level 2
OISC Level 3
Immigration Solicitors
Immigration Barristers

With OISC level being the most inexperieced and Barristers being the most experienced.

Not true at all.  Please read this thread:

A solcitor or barrister who are newly qualified clearly won't be as experienced as an OISC advisor who has been qualified for 10 years.  Equally, an OISC advisor may be very experienced at level 1 or 2 but has never become level 3 qualified because he doesn't intend to represent at appeals and therefore doesn't need to be.
