I have asked the same question to the home office at this address:UKBALoveStory wrote:Hi,
As you all know the English language requirement are changing from 5 Nov 2015. My question is, the people who has already taken the English language test and have qualified for ILR on that basics, would it be compulsory for them to do any new proposed English language test by HO in order to fulfil the English language requirement for Naturalisation application if they are applying after 5 November 2015?
AN Form gives you the option to choose
"I met the knowledge of language and life requirement to qualify for settlement on or after
28th October 2013; "
But I am bit confused about the changes requirement. Can anybody please suggest
There has been no intimation from HO that acceptable degrees (studied in English) will no longer be accepted; the November 2015 changes are all around ESOL & the secure English test.cool mind wrote:How will it effect the existing English language criteria and whether will it also disturb UK university master degree holders too??

Gov UK website is quite clear about the changes impacting ESOL:Bucki wrote:I am slightly confused ...
How about the ones who have pased the A1 Test with an endresult of A2 Certificate in MAY 2014 !!
Is this still valid for the spouse visa application before 5th Nov 2015 ?!
Hope so!
Until then...From November 2015, you won’t be able to use ESOL qualifications as proof for settlement and citizenship applications.
See https://www.gov.uk/english-language/app ... ificationsYou can also prove your knowledge of English by having:
an ESOL qualification at Entry 3 or higher (eg Level 1 or 2) on the Ofqual register taken in England, Wales or Northern Ireland - qualifications at Entry 1 or 2 won’t be accepted
Does it mean, if she gets the visa considering the A2 test ; she can still use this one for her settlement after the 2.5 year or 5 year when applying for indefinit to remain in UK!?If you’re applying to settle in the UK, your expired qualification may still be accepted as proof if it was one of the following:
previously accepted by the Home Office in connection with another immigration application, eg entry clearance
awarded in the UK and is on the Ofqual register
You need to confirm your qualification with either a certificate or by checking that your results can be viewed online.

Hi ,UKBALoveStory wrote:Sorry to hack someones else thread, but a relevant question.
What is the effective date of ILR. The date printed on the bio-metric card or the date your ILR is approved via PEO and you get the approval letter i.e. the date printed on the approval letter?
Thanks

Printed on BRP!
The inclusion of NCS is new in the October guide compared to the July guide. The guide was added to the gov website on 28 October.The date of application will be the date your form is received by the Home Office, Nationality Checking Service or the local British government representative as shown above. It is not the date on which you send it.
Not any longer.Universal soldier wrote:Call again same line and ask that is he a really ncs advisor because date of application is when ukba receive application and they don't care either ncs sent or you yourself. NCS does accept appointment before completing 12 months and continue to hold then send once 12 months finished.
