ILR + Life in UK

[nagi_24]

Hi,

Need to quick confirmation.

Can I take Life in UK test and apply for ILR in Person on the same day.
I've booked Life in UK from 09:15 to 10:15 I'm hoping I should get the results well before 11:30. I've my PEO appointment at Croydon at 1 PM.

Thanks

I guess you need to rebook your homeoffice appointment based on information below from UKBA website



If you pass the test, you will receive a pass notification letter. You will need to include this letter as part of your application. The test centre will also notify us electronically within two working days that you have passed the test. This notification will take at least two days. If you pass the test, you will not need to provide any further evidence of your language skills.

Some test centres take a week to send the confirmation through to the UKBA.
The system certainly won't be updated on the same day!

Thanks for confirmation and quoting the UKBA info.

Will UKBA not accept the Life in UK pass certificate from their own approved centres regardless whether there system have been updated.
Also, As per UKBA info-
"The test centre will also notify us electronically within two working days that you have passed the test. " - it say's - "The test centre will also" which I assume is 2nd option of pass info.


As I'm not able to get another date for PEO, hence little keen to know if this will result in rejection or delays. Has anyone experienced during their application in person.

Thanks

Hiya,

You are cutting it too fine.

Atleast give 2-3 working days between your LIUK test and ILr application

Thanks,

Exactly...It is not only too thin, but also a waste of money in my view. The most likely scenario would be that your case will be on hold and goes in the Q for the pending documents within their system. Meaning that it may delay your case by a week to a couple of weeks. It is very unlikely that you'll get the result on the same day. but it will surely be sooner than the 6 weeks waiting time.

I'd say go for it, only if you'd be ok to get it a bit late but sooner than posatal one!

I had my appointment in Croydon on 30th Jul @ 01:05PM and everything was fine except that my wife's LUK results were not updated on the UKBA server. I was told my application is approved but they await update on their system.

I was told I will receive call by Tues/Wed (before 1st Aug), still waiting.

Is there a number to call them other than mentioned on the letter given by UKBA - 08706067766

We plan to travel next Friday, fingers crossed. Any info on this subject will help reduce anxiety.


Thanks in advance.

Hi Nagi, so did you hear back from the UKBA? If so, how many days after they deferred your application?
