Hello Secret Simonsecret.simon wrote: ↑Mon Mar 07, 2022 11:51 amHave a look at the form requesting for the exemption that needs to be filled in by a "General Medical Council registered medical practitioner who is able to comment on the individual's condition." (as it refers to a GMC registered medical practioner, I believe that includes GPs as well).
In particular, the form asks "How would this condition prevent them from learning (spoken) English?" and "How would this condition prevent them from sitting the knowledge of life in the UK test or taking an English test?".
The form above applies to both the English language test and LITUK test.
You have not mentioned if your partner has ILR or not. ILR is still a requirement for applying for naturalisation.
To the best of my knowledge, no deductions are made to the application fee.yellow beard wrote: ↑Wed Mar 09, 2022 5:34 pmHello Secret Simon
Can I please ask about what deductions will be made from the application fee if the HO does not accept a specific condition as sufficient for waiver and the applicant is not willing to (or better said, unable to meet all criteria required to) proceed with the application?
Thank you very much for your advice. From the practice, is dichotomous logic appropriate here - if a medical professional evaluates and confirms that the condition impedes one's ability to sit the tests, HO accepts it?secret.simon wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 1:52 pmTo the best of my knowledge, no deductions are made to the application fee.
If the application has gone past the biometrics stage, if the appplication is either withdrawn by the applicant or refused, the entire fee, except the £80 for the citizenship ceremony, is lost/kept by the Home Office.
Pages 8-10 of the Knowledge of language and life in the UK caseworker guidance suggests that the most that the caseworkers can do is to ask the applicant to have the form linked to above filled in and submitted by a medical professional. It is then upto the caseworker to evaluate the evidence and take the call.
No, it is not always accepted and if that happens, UKVI requests the tests within a set timeframe, usually about 10 days, otherwise the application is refused and you lose the fee.yellow beard wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 8:01 pmThank you very much for your advice.

Thank you! Just to be clear - do you lose full fee or the £80 mentioned above going towards the ceremony? it is a very material difference
You get £80 back, which is the ceremony fee. The rest you lose.yellow beard wrote: ↑Thu Mar 10, 2022 10:02 pmThank you! Just to be clear - do you lose full fee or the £80 mentioned above going towards the ceremony? it is a very material difference
