Hi There,

Yesterday I went to PEO to apply for ILR and every thing went well but case worker couldn't validate my Life in UK test.

I have submitted the pass letter from centre but they cant see the details on their system it seems.

I had written exam on 04/07/2012 and applied for ILR on 10/07/2012 (3 working days)

Is this common issue? or any thing else? They said we will update in 2 days

Many Thanks.

It depends on the test. Pearson demand that you send your PTE academic score to the UKBA so they can access it in their database.

I wrote Life in the UK test at harrow test centre and passed the test on 04/07.

They said it will be updated to ukba. But when I have applied for ILR they cannot check the results so kept my application on hold.

Within a week.. may be that's why the OP's one is not validated because he had only 3 days gap? not sure...

Hi, but what happened in your situations at the end? I am in the exact same boat but really need to travel and I have no idea of timelines, am I better off withdrawing my application and reapplying?
