IELTS used for UK Visa

Hi anne thanks for the reply yes they did put that there expecting someone coming and living with my husband i was confused cause the owner is the one paying the utility bills and council tax so we cannot produce any of them under on my hubnys name thats why i asked u. Thank u so much ann the agreement and letter from the landlord would be enough? Xxx

As long as you got the owner's agreement and the letter, I think you should be fine. Unless someone could enlighten us with this.

Just curious how long roughly to get the test results from IELTS ? and also the tuberculosis test ?

If there are no issues in the X-ray, the results will normally be out on the day of the screening. As far as I can remember, in my case, I had my TB test at 2pm, got the results at almost 5pm same day. IELTS scores can be viewed online on the 13th day since the exam and the hard copy will be sent on the 14th day.

I believe for Life skills Ielts (only implemented this year), you can get the results in 7 days as the test only has speaking and listening. The results for the academic and general ielts exam would take 2 weeks.

As for the TB screening, Anne is right, same day if there are no issues. In my case, I arrived the clinic at 8 in the morning, then got my certificate at 10AM.

I almost forgot. This IELTS Life Skills is entirely new to me. I belong to the 'old' system which is Academic-General Training Module. Thanks for clarifying that, @Dave and Aisa

thxx very much for the replys thats not to bad i guess.. were going for passport, then TB test then the IELTS.. but i think my wifes passport will take around 1mth or thereabouts..

Has anyone confirmed the results are within 7 days this is for the A1/B1 IELTS ?

Yes. It is also stated in their website.

Yeah thx just found it in there FAQ section.. i think the main thing my wife is worrying about is the TB test, she really gets a lot of chesty coughs and generally has chest problems but shes 25 so i`m hopeful its nothing to serious but i`ve heard the test centre doing other tests if other things appear..

Hi,, im about to register for the IELTS Life Skills A1/B1 UKVI, on the site it says -


" Scanned copy of your valid ID document or passport."

so im guessing this scanned copy has to be attached in the online application ??

Yes @jock_in_a_frock, the scanned copy or clear photo of your valid ID has to be attached in the application. I think you could not proceed with the registration without the attachment. Make sure to bring the ID with you on your test date.

Good luck friend. My partner is in Mindanao too, not far from Davao on the road to Digos (Gensan). Hope you get the help and advice your looking for here.

Thx guys ^^ I think were going to need it JJ
