new English rules for UK immigrants

The government is moving ahead with plans to require those marrying UK citizens to prove they have a command of English.

The rules will require that anyone from outside the EU applying for a visa to join their spouse or partner will have to prove they have a basic command of English.

This will include spouses, partners, same sex partners and fiances. Although the level of English required will only be basic we hope that those from majority English speaking countries will be exempt. This will hopefully provide exemptions to those from majority English speaking countries such as in the Tier 1 visa process.
