Minimum income query

Hi,
I am a little confused. I thought that the new minimum income requirement did not apply to Spouse Visas issued prior to July 2012, ie anyone whose visa was issued before then and will apply for ILR within 24 months? However, I read today that it does. Can anyone clarify?
Thanks.

Have found the answer to my own query. Should always breathe and look properly before panicking!

No, for those who received their Spouse Visa prior to the July 2012, the previous rules apply.

Good. Just the English language requirement and submitting application headache.
My spouses english aint the best. I dont know how she's going to pass the Life In The UK test. Her english has improved alot since she has been here (10 months near enough).
B1 in listening and speaking SHOULD be achievable but really stressed out about LIFE IN UK test.

What about ESOL? That can be an alternative.

Applying after october 2013 so ESOL isn't an option. Need to pass / achieve BOTH
1. B1 English (Listening and Speaking)
2. Pass Life in UK
Is that the ONLY option?
