Re: Visa applied before July 2012. English test requirement?

He doesn't need the Life in the UK as its an extension.
As he applied before the law change does he still have to do the English B1?
If so where (I can't tell from the list where I can go)

Re: When to apply for Extension to visa (Pre July 2012)

Thanks for the reply.

In the form do i fill in sections 7a and 7b.
I presume its just 7b as applied for visa before 9.07.12 so financial should be irrelevant?
Can someone please confirm.

as i see it ,
if you complain to the police and have a geniune complaint regarding somebody then its not defamation of character but is factual.
however, if you were to spread rumours or such like amongst your neigbours, then that is different and could be constucted as libellious.
