Cheeky and funny ! God Bless VR ! rana12570, While your predicament is true, and while the first day you ''arrived in uk with an intention to settle'' was that first date with the BC you married, while it will also be a memorable date, which you will remember for life :lol: The question on the form ...
Hello Jambo Can you clarify if this part still holds true as of today ? I have got ILR and would like to go for the next step as naturalisation( I believe) is the one.. that you can apply same day or as soon as your ILR starts you can go into the next step ? If married to a BC, you can apply the sam...
cheers .. good lord.. Hi, I am applying for ILR (through Tier 1 route for 5 (3+2) years) on 13th Dec 2013 along with my wife. First entry clearance stamp: 20/12/2008 Entered UK: 30/01/2009 Visa validity: 29/12/2013 Since I entered within 90 days of entry clearance I believe my 5 year clock starts fr...
Dil, Quick question : Have you had personal experience of sitting for test with the Trinity college center for GESE exams ? Do their certificates arrive on time in normal order with 1st class delivery royal mail ? Looks like as if they are trying to sell the secure delivery option ! your comments pl...
Good luck with it .. Looks like I will be in a similar tight time situation and this Trinity college looks like a better option for me as well as I could find out from the exam center site and college website.. 10 mins .. money given and then certi. comes on time.. - job done .. no ifs n buts .. bet...
looks like this way will end up doing both - english and degree comparability as per the call center ppl ..and they dont have much info..just going about by the book .. so cannot answer anything other than that .. as per them both of them will need to be covered.. :( Don't fret if no points are give...
may be of use to some other forum members as well ... probably a silly question: Some of them do mention the medium of examination as English .. would that still hold good as medium of instruction ? and of course using the NARIC comparability together with it to satisfy the english language reqt. Th...
Thank you again : Stumbled upon one of your other excellent post: http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=931471#931471 From your replies will get two things sorted - a) masters degree that shows on its face that the medium of instruction was english and b) get the statement of comparabilit...
Thank you for this one. I think its making things clear now.. The new rule changes for settlement and naturalisation from 28-Oct-2013 will require that the applicant has (in addition to LIUK) a speaking and listening qualification in English at B1 CEFR or higher, or an equivalent level qualification...
Hi Guru It looks like there is still alot of confusion about the test for english language and the not so clear documentation around as to who will and will not need to sit for one again. One question here though: Masters degree is not giving any points for English language on PBS calculator(which I...
Hi Guys from this language text So, for example, a person applying for settlement as a Tier 2 (General) migrant who has already demonstrated a knowledge of English equivalent to B1 level in order to qualify for entry clearance, will not have to take a further test at settlement stage copied over fro...
Thanks Amber but looks like the mention of FLR M has added to the confusion. Like I mentioned my Tier 1 migrant visa was switched to spouse visa as I remember it was some VAF form but not FLR M - maybe I am mistaken.. My understanding says from UKBA info to go for SET M form after 2 year probationar...
There have been responses back to clarify the understanding but then its been a cold corner. Still the newer queries have been unanswered.. would you like an example ? http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?p=924268&highlight=#924268 and again you are the ONLY one who has cared to reply back...
Hello all forum members I am a bit confused about my situation and next step for visa process. Initially came to the UK on Tier1 (General/Highly Skilled) with IELTS done and then got married over here in the UK. So, switched the visa from Tier 1 to Spouse visa. I got the BRP card which will expire i...
Hello Sushdmehta There is still confusion that I would like to clarify for english language test for someone who is inside UK on tier 1 and then changed to Spouse visa inside country without going back to home country and now after 2 year period which is falling after oct 2013(which means english la...
Ok fair enough and agreed that validity is 2 years. They kept the certificate anyway when it was last used and was near expiry. So now have a read here .. https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/182545/statement-of-intent-koll.pdf and the part : English Language Qua...

The new requirement applies to settlement and naturilisation. Guru Quick question: Do you know if someone has entered on Tier1 general based on IELTS exam as english language proof and then changed to FLR ( M) So in this case near the end of BRP card period, need to send in application after octobe...

Emrah Could you please provide a list of documents you filed with your application set. Did the SCS people did the council point out any issues ? How did it all go for you with them some details if possible ? Finance and Co-habitation record - was this done by them ? I just wanted to ask how many mo...
