going to Croydon on Monday to file Flr

[ybba]

hi dyannesky i look at the pearsons website and it offers fast turnover fot the result wc is good.since yours has been approve when you applied for your flr i guess its no problem but i just wana make it sure cause pearsons is not included in the new listing of approve test proiders by UKBA or maybe im wrong?

[dyannesky]

hi jen28, they said it usually takes 5 days but me and a friend got the results a day after. Try their website pearsonvue.co.uk or google it. I think it is a bit easier than ielts, it is computer based and has a practice exam online. Goodluck!

[dyannesky]

ybba, I just had my visa approved last September 2, 2011 and they looked at my english exam result so, I don't think it will be a problem, but just to make sure try phoning them, and ask. But before I took the exam last August, it was in the list that is why Itook the exam since we were running out of time and ielts says I can get the result by 15 days.
Goodluck!

[ybba]

hi dyannesky,im wrong, i just read it now from the new listings of ukba aprrove test provider and pearsons is included which is great. tnx for the info.

[ybba]

i forgot to ask dyannesky what level of exam did you take? is it A1 or higher? was it not difficult? tnx for the replies.

[dyannesky]

they give the same exam to all applicants, I got B2 grade for flr they just want a1 which is 24...so it will be easy!

[ybba]

hi dyannesky sorry for lots of question im now in the pearvue website you gave im trying to locate the nearest place to take where im now but its says select your testing program for scheduling how did you do it? or can we just phone them an ask the nearist testing center? really aprrecaite for your help

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

... NOT if you've reached the stage of applying for British Citizenship. NOR will you need to take ANY further tests, because you would've already taken - and passed - the 'Life In The UK Test' prior to being granted ILR.

[alanp]

just an update Jen finally got a letter from ukba today it was dated the 6th giving her 14 days to take and submit a new English test or her application will be refused but still no passport what she needs to take the test.
so after after 40mins on the phone to them today to send us her passport or to send a scanned copy to the pearsons test centre so she can take the new test they agreed to sent her the passport tomorrow and to give her more time to submit the docs from the test.
hopefully if it comes before Friday she will take the test on Saturday in Holburn

I hope you kept the date-franked envelope.

Having worked at a govt. 'head office', I know that they are VERY careful to stamp 'received on' on THEIR incoming mail.

Play them at their own game.

[ybba]

hi ybba! when we filed our FLR (M), we chose the premium service so I had the biometric on the day of our application of the FLR (M). but if you will do the normal service, once they received your application, they will schedule your biometric.

hi dyannesky! thank you so much for the info re Pearson. yes, we already forwarded to UKBA my english result via email and sent the hard copy yesterday and as per checking on the website of the post office, our passports and my english result were already been delivered. haaaaayz, this fiance visa is so stressfull. we should have just married in the Philippines if we were just aware of all the hassles. coz we just found this site when we already finalized everything for the application of my fiance visa. anyway, atleast everything will be fine now. i just got a wrinkle with all the stress. hehehe

[jen28]
