UK Visas and British Citizenship

"Superb service and assistance! They were there to answer all my queries 24/7! Ever grateful to all the staff, especially to Lucy and Russell". A prilyn, a national of the Philippines. Aprilyn was studying in the UK on a Tier 4 Student visa. She married to a British citizen in the UK and was looking to switch to a Spouse visa. However, the couple were concerned about meeting the Financial Requirement of £18,600 because neither of the spouses had a salary of £18,600 for the whole 6 months before application. We advised that it was possible to combine their 2 salaries, and count the total of all earnings in the 12 months before application under the Category B, which takes into account salary fluctuations. We submitted this application using same-day service in Croydon.

As we wrote earlier, English language requirement was NOT changing for those applying for a Spouse, Fiancée or Unmarried Partner visa, to joint their British partner in the UK. It is still an A1 level, even from  28 October 2013 .  The changes affected those applying for permanent residency, ie an Indefinite Leave to Remain. The logic is that after a few years in the UK the person in question would have English at a level B1 or above, which is very reasonable.  The new rule has also affected those who did not need to demonstrate this requirement for an ILR but are now applying for British Citizenship where a new rule is the same - I addition to a Life in the UK Test there is now a separate English language requirement (with a B1 level).
