英国签证与移民局英语语言测试最新信息

从2014年4月5日起,英国签证处将不再与美国教育考试服务中心续签安全英语语言测试(SELT)许可,由此,托业和托福考试成绩将不可用以申请英国签证。

目前英国签证处承认6个安全英语语言测试(SELT)分别是:

1.雅思考试IELTS
2.博思考试Business Language Testing Service (BULATS)
3.剑桥英语语言考试Cambridge English Language Assessment
4.伦敦城市协会的IESOL考试 City & Guilds International
5.培生PTE考试Pearson Test of English
6.伦敦三一学院语言考试Trinity College London

关于已经进行了托福考试、并希望申请英国签证的学生,签证要求如下:

1)在4月6日以前进行的托福考试成绩,并且已经在4月6日前递交了签证申请,在申请中仍将被认可;

2)在4月6日以后(含4月6日当天)进行的托福考试成绩,并已经递交了签证申请,签证处将联系申请者进行面谈,以确保其具备赴英留学的语言水平;

3)在4月6日以后(含4月6日当天)进行的托福考试成绩,并尚未递交签证申请,申请者需要重新进行签证处认可的语言考试,并在申请时递交签证处认可的语言考试成绩。

热点问题回答:

1)已经递交签证的学生可以撤回签证申请吗?

回答:可以,申请者可以要求撤回签证申请,但已经递交的签证申请费用将不会被退还。

2)已经递交的申请会有延迟吗?

回答:之前用托福成绩递交的签证申请有可能被延迟,因为签证处需要审核他们的语言水平资格。签证处会通知所有这样的申请者。

我们一如既往地欢迎真正的学生赴英留学,也将继续为中国学生提供全方位的支持。

如有未尽事宜,有待英国签证与移民局进一步的通知。

We’re writing to update you that ETS is no longer a Secure English Language Testing provider since Apr.5th

There are currently 6 other test providers recognized by UKVI in China. Please check the following link for more details.

1.IELTS

2.Business Language Testing Service (BULATS)

3.Cambridge English Language Assessment

4.City & Guilds International

5.Pearson Test of English

6.Trinity College London

UKVI is changing the rules to remove ETS from a list of accepted provides. UKVI will not accept ETS tests as part of applications made after the date the rules change. Depending on the applicant’s circumstances UKVI suggested:

1) Those who took TOEFL before Apr 6, and have already submitted visa applications will NOT be affected.

2) Those who took TOEFL after Apr 6 (including Apr 6), and have already submitted visa applications will be contacted for interview given no fraud is involved in TOEFL.

3) Those who took TOEFL after Apr 6 (including Apr 6), but have not submitted visa applications should be advised to take a different language test provided by approved providers.

Frequently asked questions:

1)Will this lead to delays for customers?

Customers previously reliant on a test administered by ETS may have their applications delayed while we make checks on their applications. We will write to all customers whose application is delayed beyond our usual service response standards.

2)Can applicants withdraw their application for an extension of leave?

Yes, applicants can withdraw their application. Their application fee will not be refunded and we will provide them with their passport at the port they chose to leave the UK from.

We continue to welcome genuine students to study in the UK and provide full support to Chinese students as we always do.

Any further unresolved issues will be clarified by the UKVI in the very near future.
