English Requirements Citizenship

Post by Zain Ali » Sun Sep 23, 2018 9:17 pm

I have a very important question that was bugging me and I don't know if I have already asked it here or not but I have been giving leave to remain on the basis of 7 year child route and the Home Office has withdrawn their case. We only have two years to go until we get our ILR in 2020 November. Me and my wife has got a B1 and B2 English Certificate however I am not sure if my son and daughter will also have to get a certificate to prove their English requirement because they have passed their GCSE from here and my son is 18 but my daughter will be 18 in October 2020. So will they need a qualification and if they do then what qualification will be easy for them to do and prove their English.

GCSE cannot be used as the proof. Your kids need to sit the english test, except they get the UK uni degree.

If they are really going to the uni, if the timing fits, better get ILR first so they can enjoy local tuition fee.

Your wife will also need to get B1 pass to qualify ILR. Of course also Life in the UK test, all of you.

At least B1 level required. Should be easy for children with GCSE. Non UK born children should apply for ILR first.
