    I have a question to those who had recently applied for ILR... I will be applying by 2012 and I have heard that I also need to take an ESOL test?

    I thought it's either Life in the UK test or ESOL (and you should only take ESOL if you have below Level 3 of English or you didn't pass Life in the UK), right? :erm: :erm:

    Yeah it's either the test or ESOL... You can take ur 'life in UK test' as many times until you passed... If you don't want to take the test then the other option is ESOL :)
    I have a friend who took ESOL just because it was free and she wasn't working that time,.
    So it's entirely up to you if you want to take ESOL or 'life in UK test'. Goodluck in advance! I'll be submitting my ILR next month :)

    yes sis, you need to take life in UK test first then you can apply ur ILR within 28 days b4 u'll b exactly 2years in UK or b4 ur visa expires... 3months bank st8ment is one of d requirement sis.
    better to put a cover letter explaining ur situation sis.
    by nxt week or in 2weeks I'll be sending my application, will keep u updated then :)
