if you don't pass the KOL test, don't use SET(m) form (not that you would :D), use FLR (m) or you could lose your money :doh

:Erm:

but you'll just try and try right until you pass the KOL ??? or is there a new rule saying you can only take it once :omg::omg::omg::Rasp::icon_lol::D

:NoNo::NoNo::NoNo: a lot of changes :bigcry::bigcry::bigcry:

[joebloggs]

no you can take it as many times until you pass it or til your visa expires, if your visa is expiring and you've not passed it, you will have to apply for FLR.

Another subtle way of getting more Visa money out of your pocket....:doh

What is KOL is it the same as Life in The UK?:Erm:

[joebloggs]

yes 'Knowledge of Life' is the proper name for the test, a small number of people will have (KOL) stamped on their entry visa, specially those who have lived outside the uk for 4yrs of more and have applied for settlement, meaning once their in the UK and have taken the test, they can apply for ILR straight away :D

if you've not already sent it to the HO, keep a copy of it, just incase they ask you for it again, not that they should thou :doh

Does this mean that we have another book for this? Or is it just the same book? Coz I've read the HO site it says there that if our english is okay we can just take the life in Uk test so that means its the same book? what do you think mod?
