Can anyone advise me as to when the new English requirement will be decided. Its states October but when speaking to UKBA they say its an intention but not 100 % as yet and keep watching the website, however my husband needs to apply for ILR in November and when trying to enroll in colleges we are told no enrollment until September and the waiting list are vast ! So how can people who require this B1 level gain it if colleges are unable to facilitate the course .

Does your spouse have a degree which was taught in English?

Can dependent meet the requirement if degree was taught in english? I had thought that only main applicant could fulfill this way.

Anyone who is applying for settlement if the degree is comparable to a UK degree and was taught in English, should be fine.

is IELTS acceptable to fullfil the new english language requirments kicking in OCT this year? If so then which one "Academic " or "General training"? And at what level?

My understand is that if the degree is comparable to an English degree as per NARIC then it should suffice. You will have to wait for Home Office guidance to be sure.
