ILR old rules or new rules apply?

[AcrossBorders]

Hi All,

My wife received a spouse visa under old rules June 2012

Renewed visa in Oct 2014 as she wasn't ready for ILR. Will be ready for ILR in 1-2 month from now.

1) Will old or new rules apply now? so I can decide what the financial requirements will be.

2) Are there any planned changes to the immigration rules? (I am aware they are drastically cutting down the approved English cert suppliers on the 6th of April)

Thanks

Provided extension was under 284 as opposed to Appendix Fm, you should be able to secure ILR once the KOLL has been completed.

Thanks,

Is there a way to check what rule it was issued under, I don't recall seeing anything on the letter but will double check later.

Also, my understanding was all ILR applications (after Oct 2013) required a B1 level certificate, regardless of when the spouse visa was issue, has this since changed?

If the spouse visa was under the old rules, then the extension would have been under the old rules too.

The ILR will also be under the old rules.

The ILR will also be under the old rules.

Thanks, under the old rules what was the language requirement? can I submit an old A1 english test, if this is the case I will be ready now!

Is there anywhere on the UKBA website to confirm this, its the first I heard of it?

Ok still need B1 if applying after Oct 2013. Regardless of old rules or new.

From 28 October 2013, to qualify for indefinite leave to remain, all applicants aged 18-64 must
meet a revised knowledge of language and life in the UK requirement. The separate guidance
notes to this form provide details of where to find further information about this requirement

Yes, KoLL includes, B1 English and LIUK for settlement.
