Hi all, I need urgent help please. I applied for extention on the 5 year route flr fp on 12th May 2020. As at the time, I didn't know home office rules states that the English test A1 expires in 2 years so I sent the HO the same English test which I had previously applied with and had expired in October 2019. I recently got to know of it and I've got a new A1 last week with the intention to send it to HO once the hard copy arrive. HO just sent me an email yesterday requesting for more documents that is , documentation evidence that states my children lives with me in the same address .
My question is, can I send the A1 with the requested documents or send it separately to HO? And also will HO accept it since i did not submit it when I uploaded my docs back in August? Thank you

Send them together. Take the B1 English test next time, if you can.

you need level A2 . and send them all together

if you're applying of an extension after 2.5 years , you must pass A2level as directed in the government website:

Take an approved English language test
You can prove your knowledge of English by passing an approved English language test with at least a CEFR level A1 in speaking and listening.

If you cannot take an English language test because of coronavirus (COVID-19), you might be able to apply for an exemption. Read the guidance for UK visa applicants and temporary UK residents.

If you want to settle permanently in the UK within 5 years
If you took the CEFR A1 when you first applied for your visa, you’ll need to take a CEFR A2 test when you apply to stay after 2.5 years.

If you did not need to do the CEFR A1 when you first applied for your visa but you need to do it now, you’ll need to pass it when you apply to stay after 2.5 years.

get it done and send it with the rest of paper otherwise they'll put you in 10 years route.

all the best

Yes. You are subject to English language requirement, in particular, E-LTRPT.5.1A.

Hi all, I want to know how long do you normally get a decision after submitting further documents. HO requested further information on 25/01/21 and I submitted on 01/02/21 but I still haven't heard anything back. I really need to travel home because my father is really sick. I applied since May 2020.
