Today the Home Office (the former UK Border Agency) have made some more amendments to the list of approved English language tests for applications made under Tiers 1, 2 and 4 of the points-based system and for spouse or partner applications.

This new version further changes the amendments made to Appendix O of the Immigration Rules in July 2013, setting out the documents that can be used as evidence by applicants seeking to demonstrate knowledge in English language. Only tests from providers on this list will be accepted as sufficient evidence of knowledge of English language. The new list is effective 18 October 2013:
