Hey Guys

I hope you are well.

Can someone please confirm the English language requirement for spouse of Long residence applicant who is applying for 2.5years firsrt extensions?
Is it:
CEFR B1 for speaking and listening only?
or overall CEFRB1?

The reason I am asking is a friend of mine did the BULATS English exams she scored B2 in Speaking, Listening and reading however in writing she scored A2 and what I don't understand is her overall score is A2! I would have thought the average would be B1?!

The consideration on the result is going to take time so just wanted to ask if the current result would be sufficient evidence for English Language under FLR (M) category?

Your input will be very helpful.

Thanks
Appex

I would suggest you to apply ASAP once you are eligible for ILR to join the que.
HO usually open in December except the xmas and boxing days so you are OK to apply in late December.

wait till the end of this week. If you don't get anything by Friday this week and call them. People usually get their Bio invite after 3 weeks of their application post date.

You need to be prepared to have your treaty right documents ready as HO can ask you anytime whilst your application is under consideration.

Hello. As suggested elsewhere on this board, it is better to apply as soon as you are eligible so you can join the queue. If 20 December is the earliest date at which you can apply, then I suggest you post your application via Royal Mail special delivery on the Saturday itself. Note that you can also apply up to 28 days prior to your eligible date (e.g. 22 November if your original UK entry date was 20 December 2004).

You will find the Christmas cut off times on Royal Mail's website: http://www.royalmail.com/sites/default/ ... -Final.pdf

All the best.

Hello,
if you have all the relevant documents to prove your wife's exercising treaty rights in the UK then you should be fine and this would not affect your application at all. Unless of course you cannot provide it to the HO then it might be a problem.

Hi Guys,

Please note that customer charter is 6 months , I have seen everyone including me getting desperate and stressing themselves waiting for decisions. I got carried away waiting last week and trust me this thing will stress you out.

Don't check the site everyday ( I did it last week) it makes waiting horrible ... concentrate on something else reading , learning , spending more time with family

Its personal experience but though ill share with you guys who are waiting eagerly like me.

You are right there people who have been the victim of TOEIC have to wait till God knows when including me. So i have made peace with the faith that it will come when it's time. Have faith in ALLAH but i do get the usual stress attacks every now and then.

HO usually consider cases based on compelling/compassionate circumstances like medical problem or other exceptional cases. I am not sure if your case falls under this category. Wait for seniors response.

Yes sapactus and Arsal385 both are rights.Thanks for your kind advice . But on this form I see on page 490 user is NOLUCK got his approval also without treaty right of her wife . Any other senior member know about this . Also my solicitor said no need of your wife doc. Any Senior member can give advice plz .
