Easiest English Test for Souse visa extention

[ukorindia]

Dear Gurus,

I am on ILR & my wife is on Spouse Settlement visa valid until Oct 2018. I wanted to check the easiest English Test to take in order to pass in 1st attempt in UK. Her English is not so good. Initially for Spouse visa she took KET test at British Council back home.

I would appreciate your help. I am just trying to prepare her for the Extention.

Thank you all.

Life in the UK & B1 level English is required for ILR and from May 01/2017 A2 level English will be required for a FLR(M) extension.

No doubt your wife's English will have improved greatly before she needs to apply in 2018. Perhaps she could attend lessons at an Adult Education Centre locally or you could help her to study at home?

With up to 22 months in which to prepare and practice, practice, practice it should be a walk in the park and help greatly with assimilation into the local culture. (Use of idioms, metaphors, question tags and colloquial language are all indicators of increasing fluency).

Hi Gurus,

Thanks for the input. Yes we have ample time on hand.

But since she is a housewife it is bit tricky for her to improve too much also considering we speak in native language at home. Nevertheless she is quiet confident as well.

Will get there.

Tank you all

English in the home is the obvious starting point.

Getting out and about in the community will also work wonders for both language skills and confidence.
How about volunteering with a community or religious group or even in a charity shop; there are many worthy groups and causes that need and will welcome more support.
This approach has worked for my wife; its sometimes hard to get a word in edgeways these days.
