Hi sajsaj,

overall 4.0 band is required. Also note that requirement for reading/writing are meet by attending Life in the UK test, Listening and speaking at B1 level is required for naturalisation.

So in theory it should be fine.

@Tipu Yes I used the same IELTS for my HSMP entry clearance in 2007 and am going to use it it again for my british passport application next week. So it's mean that if an IELTS certificate (B1 Level or Above) was provided to gain entry clearance and it has now expired, then it can be used to satisf...

Hi Ranim, Did you used the same IETS certificate at time of entry clearance ? Tipu Hi all I emailed nationalitypolicyteam.liverpool@homeoffice.gsi.gov.uk to enquire if I could use my 2006 IELTS certificate as an evidence of spoken and listening requirement and here is the reponse from (I remove the ...

Here is the reply from Nationality Team. NOTE: i have removed the personal information. ------------------------------------------ Thank you for your enquiry regarding the revised knowledge of Language and Life in the UK requirement that came in to force on 28th October 2013. As you correctly state,...

Thanks Tipu, like you said do keep all of us updated about what they say, I am sure most members are in the same dilemma now. I have contacted the HO on 0870 606 7766 and Call centre worker agree that form should have an option to suggest that "i have already proved english at B1 level or higher at...

there is a risk in traveling next day and it's clear in NCS instructions. For applying BC you must be physically present in the UK. NCS will send the application to HO and most probably it will be next working day . If you have already traveled outside of the UK then your application is considered i...

Hi All, I noticed that new AN form are not matching what was statement of intent e.g in http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/documents/britishcitizenship/kol-uk on page 3 suggest that you don't need to provide another test to prove listening and speaking capability at B1 level if you have a...

I will suggest you to use Points calculator on UKBA website just like you used for extending Tier 1 G visa and put your degree information to claim the points , in the next couple of steps it will ask you to select about your english language requirements and there see if your selected degree satisf...

Sorry to hear your situation, this is everyday nightmare for people who have to deal with UKBA. I would recommend that you for short term immediately write to your MP (find your MP http://findyourmp.parliament.uk/) and ask him to query Home Office on your behalf. for Long term please report this to ...

Do not spread the rumours without any authentic reference . If there was such thing it should be out on the ukba website.

It would help to know from which country yours parents will be applying ? You can not sponsor your parents as family visitor if you do not have settled status in UK e.g ILR, British citizen. However your spouse can sponsor your parents as in-laws because your spouse is British National. many ECO Wil...

Hi thanks for information.

Did they tell you that its your biometric which were not processed or it was your wife's biometrics or both ?

Regards,
Tipu

Hi all, Can you please suggest if your biometrics were taken outside of UK before entry clearance ? I think people who are giving biometrics first time might not be facing this issue and people who have provided biometric previously have to wait as ukba might be sending them to some other department...

UKBA have clarified this on their website too from http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitecontent/newsarticles/2012/october/01-rules //If you have limited leave to enter or remain in the UK and wish to extend your visa, you must apply within 28 days of your current visa expiring.

Check Page 3 of SET (O) Guidance Please do not apply more than 28 days before completing the qualifying period. If you apply earlier than that, your application may be refused. If that happens, we will not refund the fee and you will have to pay again when reapplying. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov....
