Just a quick update guys. My ILR has been approved after a long wait and a quick retake of english test. Dont make the mistake i did.

Thank you to all moderators.

Thanks, CR001, for the clarification. Indeed it was my mistake. Anyhow, I managed to book an English (EnglishCert-B1) test for next week. I was told by the testing centre that they would provide a provisional result on the day and the official result would be sent through post after three working da...

You can only use an expired English test if it was used in a previous visa application. Tier 2 dependents did NOT have to meet the English requirement at all. So even if you submitted one, it would have been ignored as it was not required. You need to do a new test. Can you also confirm which form ...

You have not stated at what level and type of English language test result that you currently hold. Also have you checked that the provider of the test you took is still on the approved list of HO's test providers? Hi i have taken IELTS -General with cefr rating of B2. Yes i think it is as ielts st...

After 5 months of my ILR application, I have received an email from ukvi informing that my previous ielts was no longer valid however it is also posted in gov.uk website that I can still use my previous IELTS result for the reason that this was accepted for my application to enter the UK. This was a...

It is indeed frustrating when you're waiting that long my wife and son applied for their ILR in July 2022, and up to now, no decision. Also, were also surprised that we received an email on 12 December 2022 requiring us to submit further documents that were actually already submitted on the applicat...

Apology for the repeated question.

Hi All, I hold British citizenship just last March 2021. My wife and my son are already eligible to apply for ILR since October 2021 (5 years)and their visa(Tier 2-dependent) will be expired in October 2022. My question is if my wife applies now for ILR and gets approved can I apply for my son (7 ye...

Any updates from your refunds? I have emailed home office for refunds but no reply yet.

You need to out your ilr expiry date 3 years from now, ie X August 2022 to get the correct IHS fee.

Many thanks CR001

Hello Farrukh,

We are on the same page, I have to redo filling the application for my wife and son.
Based on the previous threads here, you just have to put on the expiry date 3 years(2022) so that it will calculate with correct IHS fees.

So you're wife is the main application and child as dependent. Somewhere the form will ask about you and it is your previous tier 2 info you enter.

Yes, so does it mean that my wife can answer the above question in reference to my previous COS?

I think I am on filling the correct form for dependent visa extension
Its clearly stated PBS-dependent partner/ PBS-dependent child
that why I am confused why it prompted me with irrelevant question.

I'm just wondering how long should I wait before chasing it out and which email better to contact? Any feedback is much ap...

No you won't have an 'option'. A PBS Dependent extension will be for 3 years, as clearly stated in the Immigration Rules. You cannot choose to apply for a lesser visa extension duration.
