no one can answer that with 100% confidence. if you want to cover yourself then take the test now and you may get lucky with new rules not affecting existing residents. by taking the test you have nothing to lose but £40 or so to take the test.devmanda1ia wrote:But I am due to give my Life in the UK test.
If I pass now and apply for ILR in Feb 2012 will it make any difference? Do I need to retake the test?
In this connection, may I ask sushdmehta, whether it is a standard practice of the U.K. government to put new immigration rules into effect from the month of April only? Well, I know that the previous govt's proposed Earned Citizenship was due to come into effect from July 2011, but that Act gained Royal Assent 2 years earlier (on 21 July 2009). Otherwise, what we have seen so far pertaining to Immigration rules (including the recent announcements of immigration cap, abolishing T1G, Settlement rules change etc.), all these changes/amendments in Immigration rules take effect from April only. Is there any particular (legal?) reason behind this fact of introducing new immigration rules/laws from the month of April only?sushdmehta wrote:No one can tell you today what the rules may be in the future (e.g. - 2012( regarding settlement.
e.g. -
1. What if the govt. announces further changes to the requirements between April 2011 and the time you become eligible to apply?

Unfortunately, no one can give an answer for "what if"!
