when we book an appointment, and do the payment, so we have to print out the payment summary/receipt page from the website, or they send any confirmation through email too? I'm asking because I don't have instant access to printer, so i'm planning to book first and then get a print from somewhere fr...

Hi there do you mean that if we book an appointment before 6th April for any date after 6th april, we will pay the fee which is applicable today (before increase)? We don't have to pay any offset money for the increase after 6th April? is it really confirmed? if yes can you send me any links as an e...

How did you print the recognition letters for city and guilds?

Did you just print the website page from Ofqual website or did you get any other recognition letter?

what was the awarding body of your wife's English test certificate?

Today I called Homeoffice and asked this question, and they confirmed that if it is on OfQual register and taken in England, then it is acceptable.

So, I guess it should be okay.

who was the awarding body of your English language certificate?

what other documents you submitted?

Hi rsb68

i'll send ILR under SET(O) for me and my wife.....currently on tier1 general.
should it be okay?

do they ask questions from dependent as well to check their English language ability?

you mean to say that it can be used to get ILR with SET(O) but not for spouse settlement?

why it is accepted for one thing but not for the other?

I have seen this on OFqual registered qualification list so it should be okay, but haven't heard anyone getting successful/unsuccessful with this.

Better to call OfQual or home office directly and ask them.

how long before you booked the PEO appointment? and what amount you paid while booking? is it full fees + deposit money?

My case is similar to this. I am applying for ILR in May 2014. I was only out of UK for 4 weeks in 2009 and 3 weeks in 2012. All were paid holidays. In 2009, I was with my previous employer and it could be difficult to approach them for any letter. I can get a letter for my 2012 absence from my exis...

anyone?

Also, is the £100 deposit fee is paid on top of the visa fees?

Hi there I want to ask question regarding booking the PEO appointment. I'll be eligible to apply for ILR in May 2014 (as I'll complete 5 years) so with 28 days before rule, I wish you book any date in the last week of April. Now we have to pay full visa fees as well at the time of booking, and I hav...

Hi

Do I need to mention the incident happened with me while applying for the visa?

I have checked this list and I couldn't find EdExcel name in this, but I was surprised that organizations like LearnDirect are giving ESOL certificates awarded by EdExcel.....so how can they give their certificate when it is not accepted?

Hi All

Can you please let me know if the ESOL awarding body EdExcel is recognized and accepted by Home office?

Thanks for the reply members.... still a small query.... I know that after 28th October 'Life in the UK test' and ESOL exam both will become mandatory. I just wanted to make sure if the syllabus or content of the ESOL exam going to be changed as well after 28 Oct or just it will become mandatory wit...

thanks for the reply I was actually asking about my wife who has already passed Life in the UK test this year in feb. So now she only need to pass ESOL with citizenship course. She was willing to do it ASAP but we were confused that ESOL with ctiizenship course will be a new one after October 28, or...

Hi there Can someone give me any information about this ESOL citizenship test coming in from 28 october. Can we give that test now? if yes, then from where we can get the information regarding the test like fee, where to study from, etc? After 28 october will it be a simple ESOL or some different ki...

I can see people who are waiting since last december or january....and can also see peple who received their reply in 3 months time...so does the processing time depends upon the category a person has lived for required period? Is it taking longer time in 10 yr ILR or the normal Tier 1 ILR as well?

me too want to know the timescales for ILR visa.....as it appears that people are waiting for 7-8 months for their ILR as I can see the timelines in this forum. I'm also surprised at this long time wait, as I was planning to go to my home country once I get my visa, but if it takes this long, I migh...
