WHEN TO TAKE THE LIFE IN THE UK TEST EU/ILR ROUTE

Post by seekingadvice87 » Sun Mar 19, 2023 4:36 pm

Hi

1. When is the time to sit the life in the UK test if one is on the EU route? Is it when they have the pre-settled status and they are about to apply for the settled status or is it after they have applied for the settled status.

2. For the non-EU ILR route. Do you sit the test before you apply for ILR or after you've applied for ILR?

Thanks

Is it when they have the pre-settled status and they are about to apply for the settled status or is it after they have applied for the settled status. You don't need LITUK for EU Settled Status, but you will need it for naturalisation. You can take it anytime, it doesn't expire.

2. For the non-EU ILR route. Do you sit the test before you apply for ILR or after you've applied for ILR? Any required test has to be taken (and passed!) before you make any application.

Thanks

Hi and thank you for answering my first question.

For my second question, I was asking specifically for just the life in the uk test if you're under the UK route. Does one need to apply for life in the UK test before or after applying for ILR? Thanks

They have to pass the test before they're eligible for ILR. No test passed - cannot apply.

I'm sorry but you don't need to be rude to respond. Not everyone understands the process but thank you any way.

Thank you for your kind response. I appreciate it.
