Language requirement

Post by karwan1 » Mon Nov 04, 2013 1:52 am

Dear All,

My wife had her ILR approved recently under the old rules (prior to July 2012). She had passed life in the UK test for this settlement to be approved. However, checking the home office's website regarding the new language requirements for citizenship which we are planing to apply for her next year , I am bit confused, does my wife need to take extra english language exams even if she already passed the life in the UK test, if yes, what sort of exam would this be, would not she came under old rules for citizenship as well as it was for ILR? thank you.

Additionally, she also needs to satisfy the B1 requirement.

Hi, Me and My wife both are on ILR , she was on spouse of Tier1 Applicant visa before ILR , I can understand that if I produce the PBS calculator points and a letter from University should be enough for me as UKBA has been awarding me 35 points for my degree from the very first day. My question is as My wife got same degree , same course , same university and same year (we both were class fellows), Are these documents (I will get her letter from uni as well ) work for her naturalization as well or she have to do those stupid English courses.
