Hello all,

Please be informed that I'll be applying for ILR in few days time and I need your input for the following query:
1. Passed Life in the UK test in January 2013.
2. Had to extend my visa for a new job purpose in March 2013.

Query: For Life in the UK test, used previous BIOMETRIC card, with all the details exactly same as after March 2013. Am I correct in thinking that Life in the UK test is still valid? Regardless of change in biometric card number?

Please advice urgently, I'm really getting tensed.

Thanks.

If you referring to
How long is my certificate valid for?

Your Life in the UK Test Certificate does not have an expiry date on it. You should therefore keep it in a safe place until you are ready to submit the original with your application for Citizenship or Settlement.

We are not able to provide you with further copies of your test certificate. If you lose it, you should contact the Home Office who may ask you to take your test again.
It does say that it is valid for ever, but does that mean that your circumstances may change like BRP Card, Passport, etc, but it should be fine?
