You passed this test with level C1 so should not have been a problem. However it looks a mistake on Home Office part.
Could you please also confirm if your marks were more than 67 in listening and speaking?
On a seperate note please note that for FRLM application you can can do A1 or above as mentioned by UKBA below.
''Spouse & partner: If you intend to apply under the spouse and partner route you must provide evidence that you have passed the speaking and listening components of a test at level A1 or above. You do not need to demonstrate reading and writing skills. Where a test examines all four components (speaking, listening, reading and writing) you do not need to pass the reading and writing components, you only need to evidence passing the speaking and listening components''.
Hi- do you know what email I can use to get an update on my passport? Its been more than 8 weeks.maricrisfiel wrote:babymama wrote:I finally got an email today from the Home Office about my situation after several emails and calls. I also got my case I.D which I have forwarded to my employer (at least now they can get off my back). In all, things are looking up and I am expecting my biometric letter soon.
hey babymama - did your employer asked you for an update on your visa as well?

I applied my wife's first FLR (m) on 7th October 2015 by post.
Today (25 November 2015) we have received Biometric id card by post.
My wife appeared in English exam before 5th April 2015 so, we applied with this certificate as we posted our application before 5 November 2015.
Good lunk to everyone who is awaiting.
Thanks
Usman

Does the home office notify you by email or text When they are not deciding an application in 8 week time ????
Starting to worry that they may have sent some correspondence through that got lost en route.
Anyone in similar situation I am so worried and in stress too

After submitting additional documents I had to wait 8 long months for HO to make a decision. It took them too long.sherife wrote:Just received a letter today (7 weeks since applying) requesting additional documents, they state in the letter that the new expected decision date is on the 25th of January 2016, another whole 8 weeks!
From reading the posts, it seems applicants get their docs/visas quickly after submitting the additional docs, has anyone who receives a letter requesting additional docs also receive a new expected date? Or should I really expect the decision to be made in another 8 weeks?

I took Pearson with C1 before 5th of April 2015 and submitted application before 5th of November 2015 but they still refused it by stating " This is not an English language test in speaking and listening at a minimum of level A1 of the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages with provider approved by the Secretary of State as shown in appendix O of the immigration rules"

It's a painful process.
Hi there I was hoping it would come through by the holiday shutdown this month, but after reading this forum I don't hold out much hope on that. The last time I phoned, I was told that a "case manager" received my letter but they couldn't tell me more (as the case managers can't discuss personal cases). Very unhelpful. Did you apply from within the UK too?zbn84 wrote:takbee wrote:I submitted mine from within the UK and received a confirmation letter back on 24/9/15.

Almost the same time period . Applied on 23/09. Gave bio metrics on 07/11. No response since than. Been 11 weeks now.
