Life in the UK test after October 2013! Do I have to do it?

Post by spike_UK » Sat Jul 27, 2013 11:01 am

Hi guys,

I will apply for BC on February 2013, I have level 2 in English, do I still have to do life in the UK test?
I'm confused because some people saying that I have to the others saying I don't.
Many thanks.
Applied for EEA4 on 24/02/2012.
HO received on 27/02/2012.
Refusal received on 16/08/2012 dated 11/08/2012
At the court, the HO REP withdrawn the decision and asked me to send the DOC for the time before marriage.
PR dated 05/03/2013

Did you do LIUK for your ILR application?

Sorry just seen you have PR not ILR so not sure if LIUK is a requirement for PR but it is definitely a requirement for BC so yes, you will have to do the test.

Thanks for reply, yes I meant February 2014 :)
I don't have ILR I have PR because I'm married to EEA national.
So do I still have to do the test even I have level 2 in English?

LIUK is a must and having English qualifications does not exempt you as they are two completely separate tests and requirements.

Also, please note that the test and books changed in March 2013 so make sure you get the correct version of the study materials.
