just seen this bbc news item on a thai lady , i know its a filipino forum !!!, but its do to with the life in the uk test, thats relevent to filipino's to, she's married to a british guy, threated with deportation due to lack of British knowledge

here's the link http://news.bbc.co.uk/player/nol/newsid_6890000/newsid_6896100/6896184.stm?bw=nb&mp=wm#

but from the gov statement at the end of the clip, it looks to me like shes appiled for ILR with out passing and sending the 'life in the uk' cert or reaching the require esol level. also it mentions that the correct form should be used, before her visa runs out.. again looks like she should have applied for FLR if she hadn't passed the life in the uk test before her current visa expired. people should read the forms and investigate !!! :o)

it doesn't really have much to do with the life in uk test, looks to me if she had not passed it, she should have applied for FLR not ILR !!!

yes she needs to pass the test, but if she hasn't why she applying for ILR !! it says in the notes and on the form, if you havn't passed the test you shouldnt be using this form .. !! , its not her fault its his fault for not reading the form, maybe she should take him to her english classes to !! ;O)

what can i say is that its the husbands fault. why on earth he did not teach and help his wife to learn the language before. he knows full well that its a must when applying. stupid man.

Like others have said this shows why its so important to ensure you develop your english skills. if your wife has time and you the money let her study practise her english while still in phill and if possible take an ilets exam it costs about 80 pounds but tests on reading, writing, listening and speaking. It will either you understand to a decent level or what you need to concentrate on.
I know for a fact it was a big plus when my wife has gone for her jobs and improved my wifes english skills as she had something to aim for and the result gave her confidence.
