English Requirements

Post by janinah » Mon Nov 28, 2016 9:18 pm

Hi,

My wife extended her visa switching from Tier 2 Dependent to Spouse Visa last year after I got ILR. She passed A1 IELTS Exam before the Spouse Visa Application. As far i know this test result validity period 2 years. In that case next year when she will need to apply for Spouse Visa Extension, will it be needed English Test Again ? What about 2 years later for ILR then Naturalisation time ? Will it be required new english test for every type visa level ? What is A1, A2 , B1 & B2 ? Is it possible to het one test which will satisfy all english requirements ? Every year or so Test & test fee...unacceptable... She has BSc degree in Engineering from back home South Asia. Will it be helpful ?

Sorry, i am confused.... i have UK degree thats why I was exempted in all english requirements... i wish if she can get something similar way easily...

Thanks in Advance...

It is the applicants responsibility to keep up to date with what the requirements are for whichever step in the immigration process they are applying for. For a foreign degree, UK NARIC ELA is required.

Thank you very much.

How UK NARIC ELA works ? What service she needs from them. As far i know NARIC certify and compare foreign degree with UK degree and confirm its level... So, for English Degree requirements what service we need to ask from them ?What documents required and how long it takes ?

Thanks Again
