English Language Test

Hi,

The sponsor wants to use the Appendix FM 1.7a (she is receiving PIP) to meet the financial requirements. The issue is that she is not able to speak or move easily. So, will it be an issue for her partner especially when the HO wants to perform an interview?

I did not find any similar case here.

Thanks

It shouldn't be an issue and I think the Home Office would be expected to make reasonable accommodations in accordance with applicable legislation. Might be worth mentioning in the application so they're aware, not everyone is interviewed though.

Hi,

I am applying for an extension of Spouse visa and need to pass an A2 test. As you know many test centers were closed in the UK and I have tried to book a test since April with no success. It has been cancelled and rescheduled couple of times. Last time it was not cancelled due to the closure of the test centre but because of the limited availability. Now, the test is rescheduled for a date after my visa expiry. UKVI guidance is very vague as it covers only the situation where the test centre is closed which is not my case.

So, what should I do? Should I submit the application and then provide the test certificate before the appointment date?

There are a lot of scenarios that UKVI guidance can not cover. This is still a period of phased openings and uncertainties. Submit the application and see if you can get the English test certificate for uploading before your biometrics. Providing a cover letter detailing your particular situation may also be helpful.
