Date of Passport Application: 27-07-2018
Date of debit of fees: 24-07-2018
Date Passport to be received: Not yet

We were requested to send school attendance record for the kid born outside the UK because the passport expired in 2016. My wife's ESOL expired after 2 years and we did not realise. We were asked to send a valid English language qualification within 14 days. My wife did the B1 SELT test at Trinity college and sent the successful provisional test result with a covering letter before receipt of the certificate. Please note ESOL is not accepted as a valid English language qualification especially if it is more than 2 years and not taken from an approved SELT centre.

This is the best forum for immigration issues. Wish you all good luck. Many thanks.
