Life In The UK For Wife & Son

[Breo]

Hi There Folks

I would like to ask a ?
My wife and son have been in the UK for almost 2 years now and there visa will come to an end in November. My wife is going to take the (Life In The UK) Exam Hopefully.

Our Problem is that our son is only 2 and a half years old and I'm not really sure what we need to do as I know he can't take any Exam ? will the Exam of my wife cover our son also or is there another prosess we need to know about?

Also how do we make a booking for the Exam do we need to email or phone thw Life In The UK Center?

We would be really greatfull for some advice on this matter.

your son no need to take an exam as he is dependant to your wife when she apply her ILR.
Just phone to your nearest Life In UK Test center to book her exam...as simple as that...goodluck to her

I will turn *65 in a few days, Joe ... but my wife is almost a decade and a half younger. Pity it hadn't been t'other way round, then she needn't have to through this 'Life in the UK' kerfuffle. Just my little ... having been a teacher back in the Phils, it surely won't bother her!

i feel like 65

well your wife shouldn't have a problem, my stepson and my misses only started to bother to read the book a couple of wks b4 the test date, just to wind me up , they had to pass within a month becuase thier visa was expiring

but both passed first time

Well, I'd a glance through the SAMPLE multiple choice test paper that someone kindly posted on here recently and, to be honest, I would find myself struggling to answer some of the questions ... and I've lived in the UK all my life!

I don't know who it is that comes up with these questions but whoever it is they aint your mr, mrs or ms UK averarage. The average joe who was born and has been brought up in this country would stuggle with quite a few of them and your average Sun reader would have absolutely no chance.
