I applied for ILR in January 2014 and today got my documents back. Letter states I have failed to provide any evidence that you have acquired the requisite English Language qualification, and you have not sought an exemption from KOL. However they have granted me a further period of discretionary leave to remain for another 3 years. My dilemma is when can i apply for ILR again ? Do i have to wait till 28days before this discretionary leave to remain expires or can I apply as soon as I got my English test done?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks all.

Was this a SET(M) application?

yes it is and I've been here since 2001 (was a student before)

Then re-apply when you satisfy the requirements including B1 English and LIUK.

Thank you for your help Amber. Does it have to be B1?

Yes, for settlement.

It does state that you did not apply for exemption -

• Nationals of majority English speaking countries (Annex A).
• Those who have obtained a degree taught in English.

If either apply you are exempt from the B1 but not the LIUK requirement.

I am confused to how to apply for exemption? As I am a Malaysian Passport holder and I have only got Foundation degree in Retail Management.
