1. ESOL E3 from Pearson Edexcel still valid till Nov 2014.punksnotdead80 wrote:Hi
Today I went for premium service at Croydon my self (Tier 1 General) main applicant and 3 dependants(wife and two kids).
I am working as contractor.
Just want to share with you all whoever is going for premium service with Tier 1 General(Contractors) and dependants.
The appointment was at 8am , here it is what happened
1. 8.10 am verified passports
2. 8.40 am took biometrics
3. 10:30am received call on my mobile from case worker, asking for current contract letter from company. So , I provided starting from Jan 2014 till the next contract end date which is in July 2015.
4. 11:10am received call on my mobile from case worker, saying that it make take a while to proceed with application asked us to go out if required.
5. 1:00 pm, I went to customer service desk and asked about my application as it was nearly 4 hours.
6. Customer service help desk guy went inside and checked the status of my token, came back with answer that since it is ILR Tier 1 General verifications are need to be done , and they are waiting for last one verification.
I asked what is that, for security reasons they can not disclose it to me.
7. Around 2pm, Case worker called me again on my mobile and this is what she said
" Sorry for apologies for delay, we are working on your case . We are waiting for confirmation from the English Language which your wife has taken, as soon as we get the confirmation we will take a decision. Nothing to worry, if possible ask your wife to take kids home as it may take bit longer and will let you know by 4pm today.
My wife has taken ESOL Entry Level 3 from EdExcel in august 2014 from IMPEL college which is recognised service center.
8. My wife didn0t want to go home , as she waited till 6 hours and can wait for 2 more hours.
9. 3:50pm case worker announced my number, and went to her desk and she said with sweet voice and this is the conversation we had
Case worker : "We can not take a decision today on your application, as we have not received confirmation from your wife's ESOL institute"
Me: "Well, sorry how can it be our mistake"
Case worker : " Even, it is not our mistake too"
Me: "When it is stated in Home Office , why do you need a verification still"
Case worker : "We have to verify all the original documents and we tried to contact them but have not received any response. There is nothing to worry on your side documents, its only with your wife's english language issue. So don't worry."
Me : "When can i get the final decision"
Case Worker : "As it is premium service we will try to give decision ASAP, and took all the documents back and said bye."
10. Came back home frustrated , after waiting for long 8 hours with my two little kids. Now both my kids fell sick.
Few things to note for guys who are going base on my situation,
1. keep your mobile on.
2. If you have not heard back from then for more than 2 hours, you have to go to customer service help desk and check the status.
3. If it is going to take long time, ask if your dependants can go home.
Now, please can someone answer below questions
1. Is ESOL Entry Level 3 from Pearson EdExcel valid?
2. If they do not receive any response from EdExcel or Pearson, how long will they keep my application on hold.
3. If it is not valid and if they don't accept my wife's English Lang req, will they reject the whole application i.e even my application
to ILR.
Thank for reading.
I know how frustrating it can be going for a same day appointment and not getting a decision same day.punksnotdead80 wrote:

Should still be valid if the Home Office were trying to verify the qualification. Otherwise they would have informed you.
2. If they do not receive any response from EdExcel or Pearson, how long will they keep my application on hold. this
Unfortunately, time can vary from days to weeks and even month. I was reading a while ago someone in a similar situation where they had everything in order apart from the verification of the English test, it had taken 3 months to approve the ILR.
3. If it is not valid and if they don't accept my wife's English Lang req, will they reject the whole application i.e even my application

Your application should not be affected. From what you have posted, it looks like the English qualification is acceptable, they just need to verify it.
Thank for reading.

The certificate was from Pearson Edexcel.
I have the same feeling like mnaeem126 where the integrity of institutions has been questioned and the case worker puts himself in a position of English examiner.
They even not tried to verify the evidence provided.
