The
visa application of an Indian woman was rejected by authorities in the United
Kingdom because her English-language proficiency is much higher than required
by the immigration department.
Alexandria
Rintoul in a Facebook post claimed she passed an advanced version of the
International English Language Testing System, but the visa requirement is for
a much easier exam.
According
to what a Home Office spokeswoman told the BBC, some applicants for visas to
settle in the UK need to pass an English language test at an approved centre
that is specified in the immigration rules.
She
said, “Mrs Rintoul failed to do this and also failed to submit the necessary
supporting evidence for her application. It is open to her to reapply under the
Priority Visa Service.”
Her
application was denied on these grounds and she was asked to pass requisite
English exam. “As evidence of this, you have provided your IELTS certificate. However, it is noted that this certificate is not an IELTS certificate
acceptable for UKV,” said the rejection letter sent by the immigration
department.
In
her post, Rintoul said the immigration department also shared their doubts over
her English as she was coming from a country which is not listed in the
majority English-speaking countries.
