Also another potential change in the pipeline is a raising of the level required on the English Language Test to level B1 from A1. And maybe a more stringent requirement on evidence to prove that ones marriage is genuine:
" : defining more clearly what constitutes a genuine and continuing marriage, to help identify sham and forced marriages;
: introducing a new minimum income threshold for sponsors of partners and dependents, to ensure that family migrants are adequately supported as a basis for integration;
: extending the probationary period before partners can apply for settlement in the UK from 2 years to 5 years, to test that relationships are genuine and to encourage integration into British life;
: requiring partners and adult dependents aged under 65 to demonstrate that they can understand everyday English (B1 level on the Common European Framework for Languages) when they apply for settlement; "
