Thanks for this.Casa wrote:For 90% of applications according to UKBA, yes. Although bear in mind that FLR is no longer issued as a visa vignette placed in the passport...it's a separate ID card issued usually within a week or so and sent by post.
Hmm I'm still reading, but I rang the UKBA and spoke to someone on the phone, asking her to confirm that the life in the UK test was sufficient.Casa wrote:I hope you're still reading this as the Life in the UK test isn't applicable for FLR(M)...that comes later for ILR.
Your wife either needs proof that her Batchelor's degree has been taught in English or a pass certificate for the new A1 English test.
I've just noticed that you mentioned 'masters' degree. This isn't accepted for FLR(M)...only a Batchelor's degree.
Ah well, on the one hand it saves me £50 until she is eligible for the ILR I guess, but on the other, it's a bit frustrating that they give such ropey info on the wretched advice line!Casa wrote:Sorry, but I can confirm 100% that the Life in the UK test isn't relevant for FLR(M)...only for ILR and British Citizenship. Regrettably, incorrect information is frequently given on the 'advice line'.
The Batchelor's Degree without the letter may be acceptable, but I suggest if you're waiting for the evidence of the Master's degree, you could either delay, or submit the application with the Batchelor Degree by a postal application (not in person at a PEO) and if the case worker requests further confirmation, by this time you should be able to submit the required documents for the MBA. A postal FLR(M) application takes on average 12 weeks to process.
I should mention that unless an application is 100% straightforward it shouldn't be made through a PEO as the checking officers don't have the authority to make a decision on the day and will refer to superiors..which would mean the application would either go into the postal queue (at the premium rate) or be rejected on the day.
