I would be very grateful and appreciate if anyone can help me in my following issues:
I'm in the UK since 2014 as a student. In Jan 2013 i have applied for human rights case via FLRO and UKBA refused me in Nov and give me the appeal rights. They didn't return me back my passport and and all documents. I appealed against the decission and got my hearing date on 1/8/2014. I'll be 10 years in the UK in 20/6/2014. My ques is without my passport (I don't have any driving licence only have photocopy of my passport) how can I sit for LIUK test & English test? and what's the possibility of getting ILR in this scenarios??
I don't have any criminal records, was outside of UK once only for a month, didn't overstay etc.
Many thanks for your co-operation.

Dear Tuhin,
I think you meant to say you came to this country in 2004.
The people/centres that administer the 'Life in the UK' test would not allow you to sit for the exam without any original ids; photocopies are not accepted either. What you can do is call home office on these numbers: 08450105200 or 08706067766, and explain your situation. Ask them if they can send you a letter saying that they have your ids, or any other arrangements by which you can sit for the exam.
When you hit the 10 years clock on 20/6/2014, you would be able to apply for ILR. But you should seek professional legal advice in this matter as the process is complex. But in a nutshell, your ILR will be granted provided that you meet the other requirements.
Hope this helps.
Hello Tuhin,
Here is the link for identification requirements for Life In The Test.
http://lifeintheuktest.ukba.homeoffice. ... ng_10.html
here is extract from the page:
Do I need to bring any identification to my test?
When you register for a Life in the UK account we'll ask what ID you'll bring with you on the day of your test. It is very important that you bring the same ID that you registered with to your test - if you do not bring the same ID you will not be able to take your test and you will not receive a refund of your test fee.
We'll also ask you for proof of your address. Please bring an original of one of the following (photocopies or printouts will not be accepted):
1) gas/electricity/water bill,
2) a council tax bill,
3) bank or credit card statement (a printed copy of a bank statement is acceptable however it MUST have been stamped and signed by the issuing branch),
4) UK photocard driving licence,
5) or a letter from the Home Office with your name and address on it.
You won't be able to take your test without the above documents, so please don't forget to bring them with you.
Are there any identification requirements?
Yes, you need to bring original photographic ID with you to your test centre to present to the test supervisor. You must bring one of the following forms of ID (please note photos on all documents must be a true likeness of you for them to be accepted and photocopies of documents will not be accepted):
1) a passport (from your country of origin) - this document may be out of date.
2) a UK (United Kingdom) photocard driving licence, full or provisional - this document must be in date (this can also be used as proof of postcode).
3) one of the following Home Office UK travel documents: a Convention Travel Document (CTD), a Certificate of Identity Document (CID) or a Stateless Person Document (SPD) - this document must be in date.
4) a European Union Identity Card - this document must be in date.
5) an Immigration Status Document, endorsed with a UK Residence Permit and bearing a photo of the holder - this document may be out of date. Please note a UK Residence Permit is only acceptable on an Immigration Status Document not on a Passport.
6) A Biometric Residence Permit - this is a residence permit which holds your biometric information (facial image and fingerprints). This document must be in date.
Hope this helps
