LIUK and English???

Post by Bambambambam » Fri Mar 09, 2018 11:09 am

Hi guys just needed some advice, I applied for my British citizenship on the 23/02/2018, my question is I only sent off my life in the uk test as proof of my English skills, do you think I would get rejected based on that, also I left my family’s name blank as I was in care and I don’t have any family relationship. I hope I can get some reply soon. Thanks.

Did you not do the test of English language?
Part of the Requirements are test of English language and life in the UK.

And about your family name.. Did you mean the part in the form asking for other family members relationship outside the UK?

I was under the impression the life in the uk test was enough for my application, I came here when I was a child and been here half of my life, so I done the life in the uk test only and sent off the receipt. With my family background, I left the details of my father and mother’s name as I have no relationship with them but wrote a letter stamped with the local authorities on why I left it blank.

@Bambambambam
LITUK is separate from English test - did you send in your B1 certificate?
Family Name means your own surname!

You need to submit what is required, and not leave out things which you consider not relevant.

I meant I left the names of my father and mother blank their date of birth and their nationality. Also I didn’t send off a b1 certificate just the life in the uk test result, I had been here for over half of my life as a child.

B1 is required irrespective how long you lived here (in my case 38 years when I applied).

It would be advisable to send your b1 certificate / test of English language "if you have it", to HO asap. It's part of the Requirements.
If you have application ref number by now, you can quote that with it when sending it.

( this is just what I will do)
