just been refused grant leave to remain help me please

i think there will be a number of people who are caught out in the uk, who were not aware of the requirement until they started to fill the FLR form in, or they didn't have enough time to take and pass the test b4 their visa expires, so there must be some flexibility for these people, I am sure the HO must have some procedure to deal with this short term problem (which should no longer exist in a few more months for those in the uk already as everyone who comes to the uk from nov 29 needs to have passed the test to come to the uk)

i think it is important when it was posted, becuause if it was before the 1st of jan, she would have a right to appeal ( yes she has not pass the A1 test) but if she could appeal while the appeal was been processed she would not have been seen as an overstayer, giving her some time to take and pass the A1 test, and submit another FLR(m) app.

she cannot apply for FLR outside the uk, also she doesnt have any leave to remain to further extend, she would have to apply for another settlement visa from the phils

I perhaps mistakenly thought fiance visas did not require the A1

If so you might do better now to get that even on a fiance visa

I think everyone on this Forum is Sympathetic to your situation and Wishes you The Best of Luck !

Two comments I would make, and hope they may help or encourage.

According to the recent TV Documentary the UKBA cannot insist on someone leaving the UK if there is an Appeal waiting to be Heard or Decided Upon.

And when my Fiancee had her Visa Application Refused, the UKBA also Refused her the Right of Appeal.
But when we took our case to the Immigration Advisory Service their experts said the ECO's Decision was SO OBVIOUSLY WRONG that they would LODGE AN APPEAL REGARDLESS.

If you can register your Appeal in time, even if it subsequently gets dismissed when it comes to Court, at least it will give you some MONTHS in which to comply with any other requirements.
