So I presume this means that we will have to cough up the 900 pounds...If your application when into the pipeline after 2 April, they would not have issued ILE without first seeing a KOL certificate showing your wife had passed the test (or had taken the ESOL course). If they did, it would almost certainly be a mistake which would get picked up when she goes for nationality (or her "ILE" expires and she tries to renew it).
This is laid out in Paragraph 281 (i)(a)(b)(ii) of the rules...
Huh? They made a mistake, issuing the wrong visa??! Does the BIA actually inform its embassies and high commisions about its numerous immigration changes!? Don't tell me this is a major slip-up.transpondia wrote:If your application when into the pipeline after 2 April, they would not have issued ILE without first seeing a KOL certificate showing your wife had passed the test (or had taken the ESOL course).

No! The 2 years mentioned on the ILE sticker is the time by which your wife has to enter the UK before the ILE expires and she has to apply again. Once she enters, the ILE effectively turns into ILR and she will be eligible for applying for the naturalisation after 3 years of residence.So I presume this means that we will have to cough up the 900 pounds...
Ah, the "expiry date" on an ILE visa! Let me guess, the "expiry date" is the same as the expiry date of the Russian passport?On the visa it states that she has "Indefinite Leave to Enter". It also states that the visa expires in two years time.
Actually her passport expires in 2011, and the visa is valid until 2009.Ah, the "expiry date" on an ILE visa! Let me guess, the "expiry date" is the same as the expiry date of the Russian passport?
If you think it was issued in an error, remember that if it always better to fix it.Have to say, seems slightly odd. But if it ain't broken, I would prefer not to try and fix it!
In that case the ILE in her passport should expire in 2011, but must be used before 2 years. And they would mark subsequent passports with VIPP.Gerry_Marsden wrote:Thanks for all the replies!

Not sure that would be the case because she simply needs to present a pass certificate from the Citizenship Test when she applies for Naturalisation.a sharp-eyed CW would pick up on it if she ever goes for naturalization because the KOL record would be missing from the computers
