I applied on human right ground,you know its not easy to win a case on this ground.So I am trying to kill time by appeal process and make it 10 years.After the court of appeal -I may have to submit a fresh application,then my documents will be still with Home office.is this case I can prepare for LIUK but how can I sat for exam without ID ? I am very worriedz18runway wrote:then why dont you wait for some time coz you still have 8 months for your 10 years in uk. wait for your your hearing date and lets see what happens next. if the favour for your side, obviously you will get the decuments back.
then carry on preparing your LIUK, coz it just take only 2 weeks to prepare and write the exam.
do you think they will do it for me or they ever done it for someone ?mkhan2525 wrote:If you don't have a provisional license or an expired passport then the chances of taking the test are very remote.
You could try asking HO to send your passport to a test centre for the purposes of sitting the test. If they agree you will need to have a photocopy of your passport so that you can use the details in order to register and book the test.
Bear in mind HO do not issue photocopies therefore you will to have a photocopy or be able to get a photocopy from somewhere for this to work.
I made myself stupid for not having any driving license.I wanted to sat for LIUK because my case is in Tribunal and meantime it will be 10 years in uk.If I wanted to add additional ground on long residency or submit a fresh application for ILR then I found on UK gov website that people who don't have any LIUK test certificate and English test certficateWR1 wrote:I don't think the Home Office will send the passport directly to the test centre as that is not how the procedure operates.
Chances of getting the passport back is not likely unless an application is withdrawn which isn't an option in your case. If there are other options, I'm sure more experienced members will shed some light.
I can't believe you haven't applied for a driving license after having been in the UK almost 10 years. It's a fantastic form of photo ID widely accepted for many purposes, not just for wanting to drive. From applying for bank accounts, to voting registration and as you discover, taking the Life in the UK test. If someone doesn't have their passport, great form to fall back on as a photo ID. I'm sorry this is not of much help for you at this stage but I've written this comment for the benefit of others so they don't fall into the same situation as you.
Yes and the form is FLR (LR).meet2mustafiz wrote:I made myself stupid for not having any driving license.I wanted to sat for LIUK because my case is in Tribunal and meantime it will be 10 years in uk.If I wanted to add additional ground on long residency or submit a fresh application for ILR then I found on UK gov website that people who don't have any LIUK test certificate and English test certficateWR1 wrote:I don't think the Home Office will send the passport directly to the test centre as that is not how the procedure operates.

''If you’re aged 18 to 65 years old, you must:
pass the Life in the UK Test
prove you have sufficient English language skills
If you don’t meet these 2 requirements you can apply to extend. ''

Does it mean when someone's legally passed 10 years without problem but they don't have LIUK certificate then they will able to get 2 years VISA instred of indefinite leave to remain for settle in UK on the basis of Long residency ?
