English Language Requirement Necessary for Dependent ?

[saqib389]

Hey Guys,

I have just seen this on Home office website here:

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/emplo ... providers/

-----------------------------------------------------
Providers of tests for migrants applying under the points-based system or as partners

If a migrant wants to enter or remain in the UK under the points-based system, or as the partner of a settled person or British citizen, they may need to pass an English language test before they apply to us. This English language test must be provided by one of our approved test providers.

We are currently conducting an exercise to produce a new list of approved test providers. Applications to be included on the list are now closed, and the new list will be in place for April 2011. It will replace all existing lists currently in place.

As it says here:

If a migrant wants to enter or remain in the UK under the points-based system, or as the partner of a settled person or British citizen, they may need to pass an English language test before they apply to us. This English language test must be provided by one of our approved test providers.


Can anyone help to clarify these ? does that mean now its necessary to pass English language for Dependent ?

Any help would be appreciated ?

Thanks

If you are a PBS migrant, then your dependant is neither entering or remaining in the UK under the points based system nor spouse of a settled person or British citizen.

You are one in the UK under the points based system, not your dependant(s).
