Yes, you are right, I must pass an English exam again. I just cannot believe in this madness. Another £150 to waste.

Thank you!

Ok, but I still confused. The Appendix O has IELTS listed, so Q6 from the FAQ may apply. My IELTS certificate dated 2008 says it is "University Of Cambridge ESOL examination". And FAQ mentions that ESOL is not accepted any more. Does it mean there are different IELTS tests - and mine is no...

Hi all, Currently I am on Tier 1 visa, and my English qualification has been confirmed with first Tier1 application by IELTS ~5y ago. Should I pass yet another English test for the ILR application in December 2015? I am very confused. There are few recent changes in requirements. The Internet has bo...

Could ...

Thanks for response, it is very useful and calms my nerves.

I just want to double check my understanding. So, the HMRC closes the extentions for main applicants only, and the dependands could extend their visas anytime after, as long as the main applicant has valid extention. Is it correct?

Hi all, My and my dependants 5 year mark is the January 2016, then my current extension ends. We will have only 28 days to apply for ILR, and if it fails for some reason, we will have no any other chance to settle in UK. As I know, the HMRC closes extensions in April 2015. Does it make sense to appl...
