Life in the UK is valid indefinitely (no expiry date) so can be used again. However, rules changed on 28 October 2013 in which both Life in the UK and English B1 are required to meet the requirements for ILR and BC. Since you obtained your ILR prior to the rule change, you would need to satisfy the ...
You don’t need to prove your knowledge of English if you: 1. met this requirement, on or after 28th October 2013, in order to obtain settlement (ILR or PR), I was under the impression the above referred to those who used a English B1 test that was no longer on the current list but was used for ILR ...
At my NCS appointment last week, I was provided the Royal Mail tracking number. You should have been given one at the NCS as well. You can ring them up to confirm and get the tracking details. Applications are normally sent by special delivery so the Home Office would have received it the next day. ...

All you need to tick is the option that states: I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after 28th October 2013; Thats it. Leave question 1.23 blank. It is only for those who are using the current English test taken after 6 April 2015 as SELT unique numbe...
I am glad to say that I will be eligible to apply for naturalisation after 30th June. Few questions that I have in my mind now after looking at AN form, that are: 1. Regarding English Requirements, I had taken Academic IELTS back in 2009 in the British council back home as part of my first Tier 1 G...
To the OP, as you stated, you realised about the fee increase late and as such things were left to the last minute and its unfortunate that Royal Mail couldn't deliver on time. You have no case with Home Office, the additional fee will have to be paid. Just been reading some of the Royal Mail T&...
Which service did you exactly use. Was it recorded delivery or special delivery. If the latter then you need to take the complaint up with Royal mail. You need to see their T&C and see if RM cover for consequencial loss.
I have seen on another forum that they are now dating the BRP from the date of expiry of current visa. Hopefully the OP will let us all know the date on his BRP when it arrives as it is important, as stated , to make sure applicants have five years residence when applying for ILR. This can not be t...
So Happy Today! Finally I got the letter of Approval . I have booked a private ceremony for the 24/02/16. And then it will be time for my new passport I guess. Phew! What a journey. Question is...Do you get a refund of £80 from Home Office as I have decided to have a private ceremony? Thank you. No...
just a quick question though, your wife's visa expires on 29/04/2016 and you applied nearly 2 months in advance. do you have any idea when would the ID card start? would it be 13/02/2016 or 30/04/2016? how long before did you manage to book PSC appointment? My visa Expires on 12/06/2016 is it possi...
Hi guys, Sorry for defining the question properly. What I wanted to ask is: If you hold for example an MSc degree taught in the UK, there is no need to fulfil the language requirement of question 1.23 in the British Naturalization form issued in January 2016. Is that right? Thanks Having a UK degre...
Hey WR1, I had done ESOL LEVEL 1&2. Can I use for my ilr long residency? ? Both certificates issue by city & Guild college. I really appreciate if u could provide any advice and suggestions. Have you used the ESOL in a previous application. If not, then No, you will need an English from the...
This thread goes back to 2012 and reading through the posts it seems like care is not taken over important documents. It's a good thing that the home office has introduced the joint nationality and passport scheme which eliminates sending your nationality certificate as both are applied at the same ...
Its good to plan ahead, even though you are not applying until August 2017. What I would advise is to keep checking this forum and the gov websites as the rules do change quite often, and what is applicable today may not be in 2017 as for example the government is planning on increasing the required...
Does this mean that the borough council will provide an NCS service to an applicant who does not live within the same borough?! If that's the case, applicants should be opting for those that provide the joint citizenship/passport service which is currently proving to take less time to decide on an ...
When you applied for Naturalisation in 2014 and having been granted British Citizenship, you should have applied for your wife's Naturalisation straight after or even in 2015. The English test could have been used then before 12 November 2015. Now the only choice is to do another one from the curren...
I believe I have read all existing SELT requirement related posts and couldn't find a match with the situtation we are in. If this has already been discussed in some thread please point out. Our Case My wife came to UK on dependent Visa in 2011. The English Requirement rules were not quite clear so...
Hi Me and my parents have recently applied of Citizenship and it has been accepted but we did not get a decision letter. We only got the invitation which was just 1 page each. The invitation we got is similar to this image - http://imgur.com/CZPLfwi I then called my council to book the ceremony and...
