ILR application and Life in UK test postponed

Post by Digitalmarketinguk » Tue Apr 21, 2020 5:55 pm

Hi Guys,

Hope you all are good and keeping safe.
I had a question which im struggling to find the answer of. My wife was meant to apply for her ILR application on 2nd June 2020. She had life in UK test book which had repeatedly postponed and now rescheduled for 15th June. (Which is not sure).
I cant make an application without the Test certificate and her visa is getting expired on 2nd June.
What are my options?
I have only found information for people who's visas are expiring by 31 May.

Many thanks,

Auto renewal are for those who either are self isolated or cannot fly back home to renew/reapply their visa but is not applicable to those who are already allowed to extend/switch into other categories from within uk. Therefore, extension must be applied in timely even without liuk test by giving a fictitious reference number to let the online application on move while adding a covering letter regarding the postponement of your test.
The opinion expressed as above is neither a professional advice nor contesting/competing to other member's opinion/advice.

You must submit online before your visa expires. If you do not, she becomes an overstayer. Simply complete the ILR form to progress and complete/submit and pay, do the test when you can and upload with a brief covering letter before biometric appointment when you are able to book one.
