Congrats happyboy and mrsm.

Hi I have just received a letter from NARIC confirmning that my degree was taught or researched in English to level C1 CEFR. Would it suffice to take this letter + my original degree certificate + Life in the UK pass certificate for KOLL? At the bottom of the NARIC letter they mention you can buy a...

Whatever the system they are using, the wait is painful.

Coolali, not sure your timeline is correct. Congrats all the same

Thanks Mowaid,
When were you convicted in court? If it's more than 3yrs ago that could explain why it was ignored...

Congratulations mowaid,
It would have been more helpful if you had said your driving offences were not dealt with in a court.

Any driving offence sentence/point issued by a court is regarded as a conviction and thus must be declared.

hi, As stated, your application was submitted on 03/12/2013. Obviously HO wouldn't have opened your application nor do any check because of the backlog. By the time they get to your application it's highly likely that the "Caution" will be available on the PNC. Send an email to the address suggested...

The card used on the payment slip for my application has been lost thus i have asked my bank to block it. Should i send a new payslip to HO even though they are yet to deal with my application or wait for them to ask for a new one?

Either your IELTS expired yesterday or 20yrs ago it's still valid.

brit72,
Yes, he needs to do "life in the UK test" if he's not done it before.

Great job guys...

missnorush,

We are in the same boat... We have to be patient; the rush in October due to the rule change is what has caused the delay.

Once the October applications have been cleared I'm sure things will get back to normal.

Still waiting

Christianoronaldo,
Is your application complex? That's almost 8months. I will suggest you contact your MP

With the application workload and current trend I don't think HO will even treat your application till the end of January.
I submitted my application on the 21/11 and have travelled out of the UK twice on short trips.

mdaoud,

Applications for the "Knowledge of Language" started after 28th October and HO has not even started looking at those.

My suggestion earlier was directed to Amber and VR, and it's left to them to make the topic (IELTS) a STICKY.

Amber or VR, can we please make IELTS a STICKY? almost every new visitor ask a question on ielts...

Merry xmas and prosperous new year to everyone

cityguy0189, which borough is that? 30,000 - that's a lot!!!

How can an application be withdrawn before the fee is taken?

Amber, can you please state your concerns and reason for uncertainties?

Firstly, Amber's view could be regards as the default until the details of the offence is spelt out. In the guideline HO regularly uses "normally will be refused" until..... Details below: 1) FPN court conviction in 2005 was for SP50, over-speeding on the motorway. 2) The sentence for the 2 counts o...

It's from the date of sentencing December in your case
