"How is my IELTS test different if I take it for UK visa purposes?seagul wrote: ↑Sat Sep 01, 2018 7:23 pmI disagree that the refusal on grounds of English language is correct because English test need to be either Ielts life skills or IELTS for ukvi and B2 test is a IELTS for ukvi even at higher level where its reading & writing scores should be ignored as per the regulations. I suspect the OP hadn't given test ukvi number.

Separate sessions will be held for UKVI applicants. You must ensure you register for an “IELTS for UKVI” test date"
AND
"[i]The IELTS test for UK visa purposes is designed to meet certain administrative requirements that are specific to UK Visas and Immigration. Test Report Forms will be slightly different, to show that test takers have taken the test at an IELTS UK visa session."
[/i]
AND
"You must confirm at the time of registration that you wish to use your test result for these purposes."
https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/ie ... for%20UKVI?
https://takeielts.britishcouncil.org/ielts-ukvi/score2 IELTS for UKVI can be used where IELTS Life Skills is used; test takers would need to get 4.0 or above in Speaking and Listening (scores for Reading and Writing will be ignored).
Read again the first page of same link the B2 is IELTS for UKVI which must be accepted.ariamus wrote: ↑Sun Sep 02, 2018 12:40 amSadly, I think the ECO is correct.
They have stated I note that you have provided an IELTS certificate however this is a General
Training certificate and for the purposes of the Immigration Rules this is not recognised
as an appropriate English Language certificate as it was not awarded by a UKVI
registered provider.
Best to take the approved UKVI tests per https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... ebsite.pdf and re-apply.
You will receive a refund for the IHS fee.

Great to see a Home Secretary with good common sense.lampwick wrote: ↑Thu Nov 15, 2018 11:07 amApproximately one month later we received a letter from him, showing his correspondence with a senior UKVI official who upheld the refusal and encouraged us to either appeal or re-apply. We resigned ourselves to having to re-apply.
Undeterred, my MP then wrote to the Home Secretary himself, The Rt. Hon. Sajid Javid. We expected nothing, not even a reply, or perhaps a reply from one of his minions upholding the refusal again. We were discussing two days ago that we would have to gather the documents again to re-apply and out of nowhere we received an email from UKVI to say that, on the instruction of the Home Secretary himself, her refusal has been overturned and her visa will be granted! We simply have to pay the IHS again and visit the visa processing centre in Kiev!
Congratulations. You were already advised that refusal was incorrectseagul wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 10:50 pmRefusal is incorrect because see list below and B2 at centre # UA001 is on the list of UKVI. B2 test is even higher than B1 and is UKVI approved test.

Wer on the same boat,any update regarding your passport?kjmiami wrote: ↑Fri Jan 11, 2019 8:02 amHello Lampwick,
I am also an applicant of settlement visa with priority service here in the Philippines.
After 55 working days I received my passport with a refusal letter. Stated that we can appeal.
I submitted the refusal letter to our solicitor. Our solicitor found that it was an error decision. Our solicitor emailed the administrative, asking to review our application; pointing the 2 reasons that we “did not met” (TB Test and financial) accompanied by a documents we’ve provided during application. After less than 2 weeks, our solicitor sent us an email saying that our application decision was overturned followed by a forwarded email from the UK Decision Making Center. The email says: Submit your passport to the VAC. Submit a copy of the email (which stating my application was overturned).
Today I sent my sister to the VAC/VFS to submit my passport and the copy of the email, VFS accepted my docs, but cannot provide a time frame of how long it would take to have my passport back.
May I know how long it took you to finally have your passport with the visa?
Is overturned means it’s finally granted or they have to review it again?
Thank you!
Congratulations.kjmiami wrote: ↑Thu Apr 11, 2019 3:53 pmIt’s been a crazy visa working!
From paying priority, waiting for months unexpectedly and an error decision! Goodness.
I am now in UK. What happened was; our solicitor emailed the administrator office manager in HO telling them that the decision was error with a follow-up documents. After a week, our solicitor received an email that they’ll overturn the decision. Administrator email was printed and submitted together with my passport back to VFS. Less than a week, I got my visa.
Have anyone here got married in UK and applied for FLR? Our wedding this month and I need to apply for FLR. Unfortunately, it will cost a fortune £5000 with solicitors help. We’re thinking of doing it ourselves. But I’m afraid I won’t be granted if we make mostakes.
Any help pleaseeeee?
