Hi

Our first post in this forum so any help given will be much appreciated, we have spent the morning searching and have answered a lot of questions, must say great source info here.

Gen's visa runs out 24th Feb 2014 and we have just realised it will be compulsory for her to pass the ESOL entry level 3 when we apply for ILR.

The issue we are having is that all the colleges we are ringing (we are in Leeds) are quoting a 30 week course so her visa will run before out she has completed the course and had chance to go for the test.

Can she go for the test without attending a course? Is this really a viable option..

Should we now be considering applying for an extension to her Visa

We are kicking ourselves over this now not seeing the legislation change sooner but need to deal with it the best way.

Appreciate any feedback

Thanks.

Sam and Gen
