Thank you for the kind replies Yes my wife entered the uk on 17 July 2013. I understand that the fees were going up 25% but I thought it was 6 April I was aware of that but also aware that I didn't want to apply too early. My wife's visa expires 12 April 2016. So in theory we can apply on 16 March. ...

And trying to get in contact with the British embassy in bogota is just about impossible. Written 2 emails no reply. Tried ringing their premium rate line $3 a minute on my mobile and it doesn't work.
Thanks to everyone for your replies. It's possible that the applicants husband is an EU national but trying to get my wife to understand and to appreciate the differences is difficult and I guess it's a bit unfair really that she has to take a test and she's trying hard to study English and sees som...
Thanks. I can see there are a number of test centres. Unfortunately only the bogota test centres are offering dates. Bogota is 6 hours by bus away from where she lives or a plane flight away which is crazy just to take a 10 minute exam. To be honest the whole thing is completely unreasonable. I coul...

But I have tried for 3 or 4 hours to find a UKBA test centre in colombia. its impossible. The list of approved test cen...
