English language requirement

[kiwi79]

Hi,

I have a question regarding the english language requirement.

I am extending my tier 1 and as a kiwi I am claiming points as a national of an english speaking country.

Now I am a little confused about the question in section 4 "Select how you would like to claim points for English language". Should the answer be "National of a majority English speaking country" or should it be "You are currently in the United Kingdom as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant, or as a HSMP participant and have previously satisfied the English Language requirement". Both answers seem correct or is the latter only for people who have completed a test?

Thanks and happy new year!

You should select,
"National of a majority English speaking country"

as I understand it is the same option you would have selected during your first Tier 1 application or previous extension.

The latter option,
"You are currently in the United Kingdom as a Tier 1 (General) Migrant, or as a HSMP participant and have previously satisfied the English Language requirement",
is only for people who are not a National of a majority English speaking country and had to provide documentary evidence, either in the form of test results or degree taught in English during their first application or previous extension.

Cheers.
