HSMP applicant submittedb/w3 Apr 06 and 7 Nov 06 now for ILR

[kingkhan9]

Hello There,

I applied for initial HSMP in Aug 2006 and my application approved Oct 2006 which is before 7 Nov 2006.

I am having little doubt whether I need to still write the Knowledge of language and life in UK test.

On the website it says

"Changes to the 'knowledge of language and life' requirement for settlement
Skilled and highly skilled migrants must now pass the Life in the UK Test if they want to demonstrate that they have met the knowledge of language and life requirement for settlement in the UK. "

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/settl ... nstrating/

Is this something changed after 6th Apr 2011. As far as I know there was some exception according to HSMP ILR Judicial Review policy. But is that exception in place now or not. Can someone please confirm.

Is there anyone applied recently and got approved without Life in the UK Test. Please let me know

Thank you

1.Does this mean that I don't need to write life in UK test?

Yes. Read HSMP Forum judicial review (settlement) policy document.
