Gov.UK - Life in the UK Test wrote:When you do not need to take the test

You do not need to take the test if you:
  • are under 18
  • are 65 or over
  • have passed it before - for example, if you’re applying to become a citizen and already passed it as part of your settlement application
  • have a long-term physical or mental condition - you must provide either a form or letter from a doctor confirming your physical or mental condition

Naturalisation Questions

Posted: Thu Aug 12, 2021 2:49 pm
by itmanager
Have you been granted indefinite leave to enter, or remain, in the UK?(Required)
Answer 'No' if you do not have time restrictions on your stay for another reason. For example, you have a right of abode in the UK.
Answered Yes
Date your leave was granted (if known) ?

What date do I need to enter?

On 1st March 2018 I got a letter saying my ILR BRP will be sent in 10 working days to my solicitor, and I have received my Indian passport and other documents along with this letter. My solicitor has misplaced or lost my ILR BRP somewhere.
I have applied for replacement of Lost ILR BRP in April and I have received new/Replacement ILR BRP dated date of Issue 10th May 2018

=============================================================================
Did you meet the knowledge of English requirement as part of an indefinite leave application made on or after 28 October 2013?(Required)
Applicants who applied for, and obtained, settlement on or after the 28th October 2013 using an English language qualification at level B1 or above can use this as evidence of their knowledge of English language. However if this qualification was not used and accepted for their settlement application, it cannot be used for this application.

I made my ILR in July 2013. I have obtained my master’s degree in 2007 in UK. So what should I answer?

1. Date Leave was granted (if known)?
The date of the letter advising grant of ILR - note it's an "if known" question so you could leave it blank. Replacement of BRP is just that - it's not a new ILR application.
2. English requirement.
As you have a degree from a UK institution then just tick that option.

Enter the details of your biometric residence permit (BRP)

Issue date is Ok but what is Expiry date ?

my BRP Says Type of Permit is SETTLEMENT and VALID UNTIL date 31-12-2024. I believe this is when the new BRP card with enhanced security will be issued. so what should I enter for expiry date ?

Have you made any previous UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad? This includes applications for asylum in the UK.
I made my ILR application on july 2013. do I need to say yes and enter these details ?

Have you previously made any other UK immigration applications in the UK or abroad?
Do I need to mention all my previous application details ?
