    Ohh dear. Not another new rules again? Its never ending!

    I have just checked my documents, my english test expires next year and my BRP expires 2015 so it is clear as water that I am going to take a bloody English TEST again! This is just getting ridiculous. Where is the bloody justice.

    I wonder if taking ESOL will free me from both English Language requirement and Life in the UK test? Do you think thats possible?

    No.
    Whichever way you decide to meet the requirements there will need to be an element that includes a pass certificate of Life in UK and addionally a pass certificate for speaking and listening qualification in English at B1

    As it stands currently, it's possible to participate in an ESOL Citizenship based course.
    You still need to secure that English Language pass certificate though.
    However, after 28 October that route is no longer available. I believe there were many abuses of that system.

    As the new requirement states, you will need two things:-

    - A pass the Life in the UK test
    and
    - A speaking and listening qualification in English at B1 or higher.

    Yeah I have just checked that on the UKBA website as well Sir Peter. Maybe thats one of the reasons why they revised that system again. Errrr. Anyway, they left us with no other choices but to do such things.
