**** COVID19 Life in the UK and English test centre closure **** (ONLY discuss here)

I have booked a test for early September as that is all I could get at Luton and it didn't show blue for any others indicating availability at any other centres. If I'd tried booking earlier I would likely have got an earlier test date, but I didn't. The current visa expires early August. Therefore I am asking about the process for applying without having first passed the LIUK test.

Refer to page 2 of this thread. The advise offered has been is to proceed with the application without providing LIUK details and update it before biometrics

When did you book the Test? Are you not able to book it at any available Centre in the UK?

Is anyone else facing an issue with availability for the LIUK Test? How is the situation currently?

How long is the wait before one could get an appointment?

@anub2016, You can check this yourself by registering here:

@gpm468
I see quite a few slots for mid-August at Ilford. Keep checking and slots could open up when people cancel

Many Thanks.

What other documents are required to be taken to the Test Centre other than the BRP?

Is it just the Bank Statement as the Proof of Address and does it need to be Stamped by the Bank?

You need to take the photo ID that you stated when you were registering for the test. You would have got an email from UKVI which mentions clearly the document you need to take with you. Make sure you take the very same document - it will be sufficient. In my case it was my passport but it has to be a valid document, i.e. not expired.

Thanks. Are you applying through the T2 route? I haven't registered yet, so was wondering what address proof did you use?

I thought that BRP is the preferred ID document used by the T2 applicants to book the LIUK Test.

Can you please continue your questions in the tier 2 sub forum. This topic is for ILR queries!!

Thanks for the replies. Hopefully last question. I have answered No to have you taken LIUK test and No to being exempt. I was surprised it didn't ask for more information at this point. I have got to the payment/sumbit application stage of the online application and I can't see anywhere to provide 'additional information' where I could explain the reason for these answers and confirm the test is booked for date xxxx, can anyone advise?

NO explanation is needed. Upload/provide the LIUK info later

Hi all

My Life in the UK Test was booked today in Croydon at 3:45pm and I received an email at 1pm saying that the test had been cancelled due to 'Force Majeure'.

I have booked this test months ago and the earliest next date is 21st September which is weeks away - I am worried as I have submitted my ILR application to UKVI already on 17 August.

I have the following queries:

1) Does anyone have any experiences with test cancellations out of your control? It seems unfair I have to rebook and wait another month when I did not cancel the test myself?

2) What impact does this have on my application? I take it I cannot submit any documents until I have the LIUK Pass certificate? Am I unable to book an appointment whenever I am able to without passing the test?

Any advice on the above would be greatly appreciated.

Hi

Could anyone kindly help me with the above query?

Many thanks

Did you call the helpline already? It's a shame that they haven't given you an alternate appointment automatically.
Life in the UK Test Helpline
Telephone: 0800 015 4245
Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm
Check for call charges

Yes managed to rebook my test for tomorrow! There seem to be a lot of cancellations. Thanks for your response.

Hi,

Is the URN of the Test Result available on the LIUK Account or is it only sent through an email after the Test?

I have heard that many people have had difficulty receiving the email after their Test.

Many Thanks.

Both in LIUK Account and by Email

Hello help please!
my name on BRP is cut off one letter (last letter only )
When I tried report it I found HO wrote on website this :
If your name is long it may appear ‘cut off’ on your BRP. This is not a mistake - it is because there is limited space on the BRP card. However, if there’s a spelling mistake, you must report it.

My question is
If I would like to take Life in UK test do I need to put my full name or name same on BRP ?
Thanks

Your answer not fully as I don’t have passport
Please read again

I’ve seen reports from people on Reddit that called the life in the U.K. helpline number and they were told tests will not be postponed during the November lockdown.

Please post here if you have credible information
