What level of English test do you currently have ?Originally Posted by cherrieclifford
Thanks for the update, Peter.
I'm planning to take my English test in the next few months. Shall I wait and take the test later this year or it doesn't matter as long as I will get the required result? I arrived here 27/07/2014, so the earliest I can apply for FLR is 27/01/17. Please correct me if I'm wrong. TIA
It might be best to target the B1 level.
All depends how the immigration rules get re-worked.
Waiting until October might put you under time pressures, depends how competent and confident you are.
If you arrived into UK 27/07/2014 the earliest you should apply for your FLR(M) is shortly before your 30 months residence which as you correctly say is 27/01/2017
I'd suggest sending the application around 02/01/2017 and hopefully receiving it by the end of Jan.
Alternatively you might want to make a personal appearance by premium same day service but of course there's a significant price hike for that.
