Life in the UK test - question about re-using this after a few years when re-applying for BC

Post by markuk » Wed Sep 06, 2017 7:52 pm

Hi Immigration Experts

Background:
We applied for BC in 2014 however due to a time gap we were refused this.
So I assumed we need to wait another 5 years and apply again in 2019 (we have already a permanent residency documentation issued in 2014 though).

So now the main question:
Can we apply for BC in 2019 and provide a successfully completed Life in the UK test from year 2014 then? Does it expire ? I hope it is not.

Let me know your thoughts on this and whether I understood the re-apply process properly?

LIUK does not expire.

Based on your previous post (click), you can apply in April 2019 and use the same LIUK. You will need B1 English SELT too.

Thank you for clarification.

Bye the way, does this B1 English SELT exam expire then or not? How long is this English language exam valid for then?

English tests are valid for 2 years and it was changed in 2015 to the new SELT and electronic reference system. You must have at test that is on the HO approved list at the time you apply.
