Soon to apply for UK citizenship, (advice needed please) rules changed?

[alesypalsy]

Thanks Terpe,

Looks like we are buggered, as its the day we can apply is the day the rules change, this is terrible news,
her entry and visa date is october 29th 2010, so she could post the application on the 27th and they receive on the 28th of oct, but seems this is the day it changes,,

so another £110 and god knows where we be able to get her into the test as we are miles from anywhere on the east coast, and it says only London or Birmingham for these tests?

Just when we thought everything was looking good this

.....and it says only London or Birmingham for these tests?

Where does it say that??
As far as I understand it the candidates may choose whichever test they want from the UKBA approved list. Additionally, many of those test providers have test centres all around the UK.

Just as a couple of quick examples take a Look here for Cambridge English
or take a Look here for IELTS test centres (it says 62 test centres in UK)

There's plenty more tests and providers on the UKBA approved listing.
Just check out by following the links for tests at B1 level

Hope that helps

I'm not 100% sure but I think the BULATS test can be taken online.
Might be worth checking out. There's a link on the UKBA listing

I've no knowledge of that particlar test and don't know anyone who's taken it but it does sound worth checking out.
