no matter what the weather londons not bad
They will tell you when to return. Usually a couple of hours. If you're able to relax and go touring for 4 or 5 hours, respect to you.
Me, I needed to go back 15 mins before they said. Then go touring. (and celebrating) he he he.
Good luck to both, I agree with your decision to do personal application.

thanks i did not know that we will have to go and come back, oh well Croydon/ Sampaloc not much in it.
i had to laugh about them wanting a bank statement of my savings, after paying for a wedding and the flr fees.

It DOES seem a bit of a, Alan ...
! Anyway, you're doing the right thing in applying through a PEO - it's worth the extra £300 to be spared the agony of waiting around for the postman and wondering: "Could this be it ... ?" for weeks on end.
All the very best to you and Jen for Monday.
Goodluck, I had my flr m done last friday 2nd of September in Liverpool, was nerve wracking but worth it, visa granted!
As long as all documents are complete, no need to worry, all the best

Pleased to hear that .
We need more Filipinas !
Well after 6 hours waiting for refused as they said the English language test jennie took in April is no longer valid as the test is not on approved list now.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
As life is to live so love is to give
This English test for Filipinas really is beyond a bloody joke !
Very sorry to hear of your problems.
Eh?Well after 6 hours waiting for refused as they said the English language test jennie took in April is no longer valid as the test is not on approved list now.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 againhow 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.
Alan, I am totally shocked by your experience. I have never heard of anything like this.Well after 6 hours waiting for refused as they said the English language test jennie took in April is no longer valid as the test is not on approved list now.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
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?
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...that's UN
BELIEVABLE!
God - and the UKBA - only knows!Eh?
Sorry for your stress.... I also genuinely believed it was a formality.
Me too !! Nor have I... I'm completely GOBSMACKED!
, Terpe ...
...... the very
's totally ludicrous!
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.
I agree Arthur.
This has to be one for the local MP.
Thanks, Graham ... it's a
I hope I can find a family friend! I'm little bit scared moving to uk
oh my i cant believe this,since i took my english test last jan 2011 and my test provider is no longer on the new list approve it means i have to take another english test here in UK before submitting my flr.
we were totally shocked when they told us. the person who dealt with us asked her managers about the test and said the language test has to be from the new approved list the have passed this to another team to make further enquiries and will hear in the week and we were advised to take a new test straight away and send it in to them within the week.
been phoning test providers and earliest is 17th sept and we need her passport what ukba hold so will have to requset that back from them.
Jens visa expires at the beginning of november
i will contact my MP as well
so if anyone else is about to apply for their FLR check you test cert is still recognised by ukba or you will end up paying again for the visa

Appalling state of affairs, I'd copy your MP letter/email to Theresa May 'mayt@parliament.uk' and your Euro MP. Also take it up with the UN Secretary General as they seem to now be meddling in our internal affairs.
Alan, did UKBA give any indication that they will allow you dispensation on the FLR fee if you can get another Test Cert quickly?
I really feel for both mate. What an absolute bombshell.
I still cannot believe it. It's neither 'right' nor fair at all in my mind.
no if we can not get a new test before the make their decision we loose all the fee we paid. I am just trying to contact them to ask for an extension and to get the passport back as she can not take a test with out it
Alan, I've been thinking more about this.
Did they give you any kind of refusal letter?
Did they mention that they will send you a refusal letter?
I would say continue the route you have planned and they have suggested.
But...... at the end of the day you should have a refusal letter. This letter will state the reason(s) for refusal, and would be the basis and key for next steps as it needs to be based on immigration rules.
Just suggesting 'straws' to grasp.
try pearsons, I took it last August 10, and got the result the day after.
It was one of my documents submitted so Im sure this one is accepted. sorry for that but am hoping for the best for you both
The test I took was located in Euston.

I cant believe it! I hope you get resolution soon, I am assuming this is for the A1 English testing right?
Although I cant offer any better advice you have our best wishes that you get a speedy and simple resolution mate.
Tone & Rina
Sorry to hear that..I would like to ask the expert here Im going to apply a citizenship this year do i need to take a new test again?
Thanks dyannesky! can they expedite the result of the english test? coz i believed it will take 5 working days to get the result. and how was the test? was it hard or easy? :-) thanks again!
Its a total disgrace. I really feel for the both of you. I just pray things work out for you. Keep your chins up.
