With the new rule, do I need the A2 English requirement?

Post by Gabicdm » Tue Sep 05, 2017 10:14 pm

Hello!
I'm from Brazil and earlier this year (April) I was granted an UK Fiance Visa and now I'm currently in the UK. I got married yesterday and our appointment for my FIRST FLR-M is in Glasgow on the 18th of September. Me and my wife we're a bit confused about the new rule regarding the English Requirement. I currently have the A1, but do I need to upgrade it to the A2 for my first application to the FLR-M or that's only meant for people that are applying for their second one (after the first 2,5 years are finished)? Could someone clarify this for us?
Thank you!

Not required for this application and under the current Rules, A2 level English will be a requirement for your second FLR(M) extension.

Please don't send me PMs asking for immigration advice on posts that are on the open forum. If I haven't responded there, it's because I don't have the answer. I'm a moderator, not a legal professional.

Hello! Thank you for your quick response. I really appreciate that.
Just to clarify, the A1 pass is acceptable for our first FLR-M after our fiance visa. The new rule confused us a little bit lol. Thank you!
