(i) (a)(i) the applicant is married to or the civil partner of a person present and settled in
the United Kingdom or who is on the same occasion being admitted for settlement; and
__ __(ii) the applicant provides an original English language test certificate in speaking
and listening from an English language test provider approved by the Secretary of State
for these purposes, which clearly shows the applicant's name and the qualification
obtained (which must meet or exceed level A1 of the Common European Framework of
Reference) unless:
