B1 Level english requirment.... NEW RULE !

[sanjana]

Hi Guys,
Sorry for repeating my question which i posted in my original post but did not get a confirmed reply. Hence i am posting it again. My summery

HSMP visa granted 14/9/2007
Entered Uk on this visa 4/10/2007
Extension on Tier -1 to= 14/9/2012

i am planning to apply for ILR on or after 17 august. me n my spouse lived together for 6 yrs now. We both passed LUT UK test. I read on these new rules for englsh language requirment. I have read the statement of intent and particularly appendix E.
my questions are
a) Does my spouse need to do B1 level english for listening n speaking?

Many thanks in advance.

Reply i got from SMAM = Once you and your spouse have passed the LIUK test then your spouse dont really have to pass any other Exams

BUT ....................................


My doubt remain unanswered as whom does the new rules apply. ? as i can see aplications after 9th of july for FLR / dependant (? ILR) will be affected with this. the guidelines doesnt really say its only for fresh application of entry clearance but infract it says for all the applications after 9th july.

I will be greatful if a senior could answer my query. Keep good work going group. thanks
