gooduck to both of u sophia and mikaela.:-)..@ sophia , thank you for replying my posts question here..can i ask if where is the specific address of study connect office u took the exam?how long does the exam takes place?did u pay in the study connect office or through the bank?..are u going to wait for the schedule of exam after you pay it or u can have your test right away after your pay the exam fee?
hope for your response..thank you.

Hi Jeane,
My pleasure to share with you my experience!...I went to their makati office, spoke to the British consultant, he was very pleasant, helpful & supportive...actually I was the 1st settlement visa applicant who took the test, so it was like his practice test:-)....I visited Nov 26 straight off from the VFS office after realizing that I can't get away with it, so went back on Nov 30 (a day after this new ruling was implemented), I paid up front (cash) and took the test straight away!..I managed to finish the exam about 20-30 minutes, very basic, just daily conversation/grammar/expressions/correct word to use...I'm sure you can do it!!

But like I said in my post (if you have read it) that I wasn't fortunate enough to get my certificate as what have had promised, due to some reasons...hope this help! when do you intend to take it anyway?

hi sophiamarie.thank you for information.it gives me the idea.i cant apply a spouse visa yet.my husband doesnt have enough savings yet and he doesnt have much disposable income.we will wait until he can have enough savings.im just worried that the visa might be deny cause he doesn't have much disposable income.
may i know whats the exact address in manila where u took the exam?does the exam include speaking and listening skills?
