My wife has taken GESE grade 5 B1 speaking & listening from Trinity College London. We are going for ILR next month. Hopefully that should not cause any issues. Has anyone had success stories with above English certificate recently? Just getting nervous now. The GESE Grade 5 test by Trinity sho...

She did ESOL Entry Level 3 B1 from EMD which is in the list of OFQUAL on home office website. Unfortunately, there has been some cheating/fraudulent activity going on by some test providers and EMD is one of them. They are under investigation by the Home Office and pending the outcome of the invest...

The Trinity GESE Grade 5 test is fine. The ESOL Entry level 3 by Trinity should be avoided as the Home Office is removing it from their list of acceptable tests from 1st August 2014 (doesn't affect the one provided by Cambridge English). As far as I'm aware, the tests under investigation and should ...

And its not just EMD, its also TOEFL and TOEIC (by ETS) that are also under investigation and have been suspended.

Congratulations for your application. I ask them if i can re-submit English test with new test from another body they refuse and said i need to wait for the decision first. This sounds ridiculous and assuming the worst case scenario (hope it doesn't come to this), if EMD are shown to have acted frau...

Taken from here: http://lifeintheuk.net/index.php/about_the_test/who_needs_to_take_the_test_settlement/ There are some people do not need to take the test. The UKBA provide detailed guidance on their website as to these exceptions. To summarise the core exceptions, you don’t need to take the test if...

Two months is a very short time, you won't get any decision yet. Normally a decision is made in 3 to 4 months but this can be longer due to many factors and I think a lot of people currently have been waiting longer than 6 months still waiting on a decision. I know someone who has been waiting 10 mo...

Do you plan to settle in India or the UK after marriage?

Can someone suggest? Is this happen to anybody recently? As mentioned above, take another English test. Its the investigation into some of the awarding bodies or test centres that is having the applications put on hold and pending the outcome, it will remain on hold. All you need is to satisfy the ...

just go through the official book twice that would be enough. but don't buy UKCITIZENSHIPSUPPORT.COM PACKAGE FOR £29. THAT IS THE RUBBISH MATERIAL. THNX I would probably disagree with this. My wife failed at her fist attempt having read the official book 4 times are going through the official quest...

Only if you have used the expired IELTS certificate in a previous application. I have had confirmation by letter from the Home Office that they must have had sight of the IELTS certificate in a previous applications for them to accept it if it has expired, unless it was taken inside the UK and is on...

Unfortunately, there are some tests providers that are under investigation and pending the outcome of the investigation, your application will be on hold. Worst case scenario, if the investigation into EMDUK shows some form of fraudulent activity, the application maybe refused as they would then rej...

Hello I got my spouse visa in 2012 I used toeic English language course at that time my application accepted Now I applied for ILR may 2014 THEY accepted my application butt did not give me ILR They said toeic was involved in fraud which is under investigation I used toeic certificate in 2012 when ...

If you already have done Life in the UK, you won't need to take it again. From your statement, it sounds like they are accepted the ILR application, but not granted you ILR, pending further investigation into TOEIC. I would advise you take another Level B1 test ASAP, such as the Cambridge ESOL or th...

But I think grade 5 exam level b1 which is also mention on list of approved courses page 33 @Thanks Subtle Yes your Grade 5 (ESOL B1) test is fine see this news http://www.trinitycollege.co.uk/news/viewarticle.php?id=373 and also see this amendments in Immigration rules https://www.gov.uk/governmen...

@tanz5656 if you read the posts above, the removal for Trinity ESOL Skills for Life is effective from 1st August 2014, so any application prior to this date should be OK.

I am suspecting that the Home Office list of test is rounded to be sort of "generic". Sorry I can't assure you that it would be fine but I guess my post might ease you a little bit. It would be interesting to find out if even before the change (1st July), these test were still showing pas...

Is is the ESOL Entry Level 3 provided by Trinity that is being removed or does it also affect the one offered by Cambridge English?

Surprised at the judgement. The worrying bit is for those people who had their applications put on hold having had hope now face refusals. Applications on hold will now receive a decision The judgment will mean that, from the 28 July, the 4,000 individuals whose applications are currently on hold , ...

The college is wrong.

You only need to pass the speaking and listening elements for both Settlement and Naturalisation purposes.

For FLR(M), you need English language at Level A1. The score achieved in IELTS far exceeds this so is acceptable (Just ensure that both the speaking and listening elements are score 4.0 or above)

No need for Life in the UK test.

And your source is?

Reports provided by estate estates are perfectly acceptable.

Reports done by estate agents aren't accepted. They are also expensive, same as council. Best off going with a chartered company Please do not provide inaccurate information until you know the full facts. Reports done by estate agents are perfectly acceptable and I used one without any issues. Pric...
