You are expected to provide a certificate or a reference number at a minimum. If you can't, you may be asked while your application is being processed to sit for the test. That is completely fine, if during the application they want me to sit the test again I could do it and provide them the copy. ...

Can’t really advise on how you prove your 2016 test. Did you keep a copy of your application-it was on paper in those days. There’s no cheap way to do a test, it’s £150 for a spoken test 10 minutes. It’s B1 Gese 5 level. Google trinity college London. Test must be taken at Home Office approved cent...

Hello, The guidance says I don't have to prove knowledge of english language, if I have provided evidence of it already during my ILR application. I had provided proof for it during my ILR application in 2016, but the application is requesting me to upload a copy of the certificate (which I unfortun...

Thank you.

Yes, I'll be providing SA302 for the past 5 years along with the police report of lost passport and writing it all out in a cover letter.

Thanks

Hello, I’ve been holding an ILR since 2017, and my passport held until 2024 was lost. I have a police report, and a replacement passport. I’ve recently travelled back to UK from a holiday, the immigration officers didn’t care and just stamped my passport as usual. I’m in the midst of applying for ci...

Has anyone considered Richmond Chambers? I have spoken to them, and waiting to hear back. Their website, states this as a 'success' story; We assisted our client, a national of Jordan, to apply for accelerated settlement as a Tier 1 (Entrepreneur) migrant. We were able to persuade the Home Office th...

My ILR application has also been refused for the same reasons as the OP.

Any updates?

I wanted to discuss the similarity of my case with the OP.

Since, we had applied before the new rules and 'clarifications' were announced... we should technically be treated as applicants according to the previous rules and guidance.

Please PM me your contact details, wish to discuss further

Very unfortunate to hear this.

I'm also in a similar situation, and also plan on going to JR

No, I haven't... But looking at the recent refusals things don't seem too bright.

I shall be speaking to a few solicitors in the next week, and shall update.

Any recent refusals for accelerated ILR here?

This is a clarification about (erstwhile hidden / not publicly disclosed or perhaps even a change in) intention not a change in immigration rules, so will not see a mention in "statement of changes to the immigration rules". The argument can be that how can a Tier 1 E migrant imagine a hi...

Thank you very much, Vinny.

My caseworker read the guidance, and is sending back my passport today via recorded delivery.

I have been told to return my passport back before the expiry of the visa.

Much appreciated

Has anyone requested the Return of their passport for Identification purposes? I have a few questions if anyone has any information. How long did it take to get to you? HO stipulates 10 days, I need it in exactly that amount of time. Did you receive an communication before it was returned? Do you t...

Thank you once again, Vinny.

I have emailed the caseworker linking her to the caseworker's instructions.

I'll probably ring her up and follow up tomorrow.

Shall keep you updated

Thanks for your help, Vinny.

I shall ring my caseworker again tomorrow... don't want to bombard her with my emails and calls throughout the day

They appear to have misunderstood the Immigration rules and caseworkers' instructions (page 99). Where a person whose application or claim for leave to remain is being considered requests the return of his passport for the purpose of travel outside the common travel area, the application for leave ...

They are REFUSING to provide me with my passport for ID purposes!!

They say they can't return the passport if the case is live, without withdrawing the application.

Please help!!

No, there isn't. You should have applied in person then if you thought you might need your passport. I had applied using the postal method, because the PEO method wasn't available to Entrepreneur visa holders. The Home office return of documents page states that passport can be returned for identif...

hello, I had applied for ILR on the 17th of March, and have requested my passport on the 05th of May. HO emailed me asking the reason, I explained that the bank needs it as an ID to open a new business account and I also need it for an exam I'm sitting for in 3 weeks. I did not get a reply to my ema...
