Read the following posts that mentioned their applications were refused on the basis of marking the "Have you passed an approved English language test?" field as "No".

Advice on a refused application

Refused spouse visa : due to English language test

Visa Application refused - Unmarried partner visa

The UKVI A1 Life Skills test has since been passed long after attending the biometrics appointment. However, the application cannot be altered and, based on the evidence from the posts above, it suggests that the application is likely to be refused due to the oversight of marking the "Have you passed an approved English language test?" field as "No".

Should the current application be withdrawn? The understanding is that cancelling an application requires waiting a brief period; receiving confirmation of a withdrawn application via email; receiving an IHS refund within 6 weeks; and then soon after, reapply with the correct information. Or should a decision be received first?

Are concurrent applications not permitted?

Just looked at the document checklist and realised that the middle name has been structured differently to the passport and the surname has been omitted. The name submitted on the application is structured "Alan Brian Charlie-Dean". In contrast, the forename on the passport is "Alan BrianCharlieDean", and the surname is "Edward-Finnie". No real names used by the way.

How would this affect the application? Is there a way to get this rectified?
