TIER 1 GENERAL EXTENSION

[ramsushu]

Hi,

I am in confussion. I am the Tier 1 General Applicant. I am going for an visa extension after april 2012. I have come across a new rule in ukba/homeoffice.gov.uk that if one wants to apply for Leave to remain must meet the requirements of the english language test. I have already qualified as per points based calculator for english language based on my qualification that is Masters last when i had applied for my Tier 1 in 2009.

I would like to know whether i need to appear for an english test to apply for my visa extension after april 2012 and my dependent also has to appear for a test for VISA EXTENSION.
Please reply me as soon as possible.

A little research would have led to this post not to exist!! But since it is, you do not have to appear for test.

On Section L - In response to the question -

Applicant is currently in the United Kingdom as a Tier 1 (General) migrant, or as a Highly Skilled Migrant Programme participant and has previously satisfied the English Language requirement
