You, like myself, fall under 'other applicants' category so either LITUK or ESOL course in English with citizenship. The above is straight from the horse's mouth.a. Background
Following changes introduced in April 2007, people aged 18 to 64 must have sufficient knowledge of the English language and life in the UK in order to qualify for indefinite leave to remain. This change in the Immigration Rules was introduced to ensure that migrants wishing to settle here have an understanding of life in the UK and the skills to allow them to integrate fully.
b. What must you do to show that you have sufficient knowledge of English and life in the UK?
From 6 April 2011, main applicants in the categories:
• Certain work permit holders; or
• Business person; or
• Innovator; or
• Investor; or
• Highly skilled migrant; or
• Writer, composer or artist; or
• Tier 1 (all categories); or
• Tier 2 (all categories)
are required to show that they meet the Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK requirement and must do so by passing the Life in the UK Test.
However, applicants in the above categories who passed an ESOL with citizenship course with an accredited college before 23 November 2010, or who enrolled on a course before that date and gained the qualification at a later date may use this to demonstrate that they meet the Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK requirement.
All other applicants
If your English is already at or above ESOL (English for speakers of other languages) Entry Level 3, you can take the test known as the Life in the UK test. If your English is below ESOL Entry Level 3, you will need to attend an ESOL with citizenship course at an accredited college and obtain a relevant ESOL qualification as described in 22l-m of these guidance notes.
thats just an incompetant or greedy (or likely to be both ) consultant who wants your money by scaring you..zeeshan_khan wrote:
There is one thing bugging me, i met a consultant he said you need show them that you are fluent in english by doing ESOL. Only hsmp and work permits applicants dont need ESOL. If you finishing your 10 year time on student visa then you need ESOL. He also said its new law which came after 6 april. And also i need LITUK.
Please tell me this consultant is not right.
Thank you all.
