Tier 2 General Switch Sponsor English Requirement

MrIncredible · Post by **MrIncredible** » Mon Apr 13, 2015 3:17 pm

Hi

Can someone help clarify if i will need to provide English Requirement proof again if I am switching my Tier 2 sponsor. I have been in UK for 2 years now and initially I provided the proof of English language requirement.

The original proof is back in India and I have already booked my appointment so don't have time to get it posted from India. The guidance is not quite clear on this. Page 35 - Section 133 and 136 (2nd last bullet point) are confusing on whether I need the proof in original
Tier 2 Guidance:

Thanks in advance.

Hi,

I am 99.99% sure you don't need to provide the evidence. Section 136 sais that you qualify if:
- you have met the English language requirements when given a previous grant of leave
I have the same situation, and my new sponsor told me I don't need to prove that again. I am in the process of application, so can't tell what's the result

All the best!

Not required as you have shown the evidence in the initial entry clearance application.

Thanks guys. To be on safer side (to cover that 0.01%), I have got my proof posted from India on a DHL super fast service - should reach here in 2 days.

All the best to you to Lakov.
