Yes, the part about the requirements for 281 also being met. Particularly the part where the applicant needs to have passed an English test:Chinahand46 wrote:Or am I still missing something here. :?:

Unless I'm missing something Article 282(c) provides for a 27 month visa to be given even though the applicant has not passed the KET. My wife's spoken English is fine but I seriously doubt that she would, at this time, pass the KET tests for reading and writing.
John, I am not confusing the 2 tests and am aware of the requirements of the 'Life in the UK' tests having also downloaded several test samples.
If you are not confusing the two types of test, I do not understand why you refer to 282(c), the words of yours I have highlighted.I am now confident that, regardless of 282(c), my wife can pass the English speaking & listening test to get her visa.
I am still of the opinion, rightly or wrongly, that you are still confusing the two types of test.I was simply saying that if 282(c) is not a viable route to obtain my wife's visa she will be able to pass the speaking and listening test and will therefore comply with 281(i)(a)(ii).
From this distance I cannot possibly comment upon the location of test centres in China, but that certainly that does sound like quite a trek! What is the prospective plan? Fly to Beijing then take the test, then a day or two later make the visa application at the Visa Application Centre and do the biometrics?I am now in the process of identifying where, in China, my wife can obtain her English Speaking & Listening Certificate. It seems that there are only 3 'open' centres, the nearest being in Beijing which is over 1,000 miles away. Looks like we will be doing some travelling shortly
-: is one of those other cities better to make the visa application?As part of your application, you will need to visit one of our visa application centres in Beijing, Wuhan, Shenyang, Jinan, Chongqing, Fuzhou, Chengdu, Shanghai, Hangzhou, Nanjing, Guangzhou or Shenzhen.
