going to Croydon on Monday to file Flr

[Terpe]

Well after 6 hours waiting for refused as they said the English language test jennie took in April is no longer valid as the test is not on approved list now.
They said it will be passed to another dept to check but if its not valid we would have to apply again after new English test taken and to pay the visa fee again

Alan, I am totally shocked by your experience. I have never heard of anything like this.
Did you question this with the Officer? or speak with a Manager?
This cannot be correct that the listing will be applied retrospectively.
It means all those FLR applications made with Test certificates issued before July 18 will be refused.
When does the Fiancee visa expire?

...that's UNBELIEVABLE!

Eh? how did that happen? I thought seeing you'd done the test for your visa app, before the changes were implemented, got visa, now married etc. it was just a formality?
Sorry for your stress.

God - and the UKBA - only knows! ... I also genuinely believed it was a formality.

Oh, Alan ... I'm so sorry! I imagine you'd be in such a state of shock and disbelief that it may not have even occurred to you at the time to challenge the decision. But challenge it you MUST, my friend - contact Citizens' Advice ... your MP ... WHOEVER - because this ruling is totally unacceptable.
