Hi all,

Am new here. I am on a spouse Visa 5 year route. I was supposed to be taking my test on the 30th of March but it got cancelled because of coronavirus. The new date they have gibe8me is mid may . Tge deadline the home office given me is 9th of may. Do I send the rest of my documents or I don't know what to do. Is there a way to contact the home office?
Please advise me

My wife is in the same boat. She was scheduled to take a Trinity test on the 27th I think it was, but it was cancelled on the 20th and she hasn't had another date sent through yet. I called them on 0300 123 2241, and the man said to book an appointment with UKVI at least and if she can't do the test before that then write a cover note explaining why. I wasn't really impressed as he said they only found out about these cancelled tests yesterday, but my wife got the email on Saturday, and it's a pretty obvious thing to happen in current circumstances after the announcement on Friday.

I presume you, like my wife, already have a test result from a currently unapproved provider?

Edited to add I thought you had written English Test, but either way call them on that number and see what they say.

I am in a similar situation. Are we able to submit the application without completing the test?

Thank you.
