my fiancee was phoning the test centres in manila and hopkins international told her that her daughter who is 12 will have to take the test also as we appling for her visa as well. I have checked the ukba website and I belive that she does not have to take it as she is a dependant child is that right? i told jennie to phone study connect up to see what they say

This requirement was introduced on 29 November 2010. You must meet the requirement if:

* you are a national of a country outside the European Economic Area and Switzerland; and
* you are in a relationship with a British citizen or a person settled here; and
* you want to apply to enter or remain in the UK as that person's husband, wife, civil partner, fiance(e), proposed civil partner, unmarried partner or same-sex partner.

Question for Joe The wife arrived here December 6 2009 on a spouse visa. Apart from having to take the life in the UK TEST does she need to set the English test as well before she applies for ILR ? She was asking me last night. Could you post a link as well just to put our minds at rest. Thank you Joe

The new requirement applies to applications for entry clearance, leave to enter, leave to remain and further leave to remain. It does not apply to indefinite leave to remain or citizenship applications where the existing Knowledge of Life requirement continues to apply.
