I haven't even got my FLR(M) yet! 11 weeks of waiting already! I'm just concern about the English language test now coz by October 2013, I may have to retake it since my IELTS test result is valid from July 2011-July 2013, which is a complete nonsense for me considering I already passed it, even above their required qualification!

Anyway, I feel bad for the new applicants on 9th July 2012 onwards..they would need A LOT of proofs and a BIG AMOUNT of money just to be with their other half..

your lucky Rayna my misses has had to take IELTS many times, becuase she needed at least 6.5 or was it 7 in each section of the academic version and also becuase it expired not for UKBA thou for the GMC (general Medical Council ) like your english is going to get worse the longer you've been here

That's what Keith was saying to me, like they think the spouses would lose the ability to speak English after they live here for 2 years..like an expiry date..hahahaha..

Anyway, what I just read was, for the new applicants (spouses from outside UK) on 9th July onwards, they need to present a Basic Level or A1 level of English only...upon their settlement application after 5 years, a B1 level of English and Life in the UK test should be presented...

Yes, but some Filipinas will come here and pick up more Scouse than English, for example.

And I noticed gparry has eloquently picked up the expression "bloody hell" for example.
