Ok i understand now, the confusion was the use of the word (settlement) i thought the word was used for ILE and ILR!

Anyway thankyou both.

indefinite leave to enter (ILE) is the one im talking about.

Do we have to do a coures for a A1 level english certficate or can we just apply for the test and is that test only an ESOL now.or what?

Sorry what i ment was the A1 English settlement visa requierment.

Do we need to sit in a course for that, or can you just book a test if your English is already good enough?

Am i right to understand from the new updated list of engilsh test providers, that people will no longer be able to just book a test. But will now have to sit in a course?

Hello Louby Lou

Could you tell me the process you went through in cairo for the english test and what did they test your husband on.

Was it just speaking and listening or everthing and how long did it take.

Also did they make you buy a CD?

Thanks all info would help.

Hello sushdmehta

What i meant was more about the age of the last payslip rather then how many.

eg; can i apply for one of the two visas i mentiond while the last of the six payslips is 3 or 4 months old?

If not then how old can the last one be.

Hope i made myself clear.

Sorry.

I would like to know in the case of a family visit visa and in the case of a settlement visa.

How old can the last payslip be at the time of visa appliction?

Thankyou

Thanks.
