    If you can make the budget Moy better to apply before 28 October then you will not be affected.

    On or after 28 October will need new pass certificate English Language at B1 level

    I felt almost sick reading about this.
    My friend will be applying for ILR in late October and until we check the dates again I fear that she will need this language test. She has already passed Life in UK test.
    I have found a college that offers the Cambridge B1 exam but does anyone have any feel for what the course work involves for someone who has (obviously) been here for more than 4 years and speaks/writes English very well with maybe the odd mistake (saying He instead of She - things like that)
    Any thoughts?
    It all sounds like a complete nightmare...
    And I guess expensive??????

    Ps Huge thanks to Terpe for keeping us informed of these changes.

    Well the shifting sands of uk immigration rules,more stress and expense for all involved,makes you wonder whats coming next.I really feel for those still coming through or thinking of applying,for sure it seems that fees are only going to go up.
    The irony is that we actually need more immigration,much more due to the ageing population,the day may come when we offer incentives for people to settle here.

    We may be fortunate as Rose arrived here 3 years ago on october 19th.She only just got her ILR last month so we hope it will be ok to apply for the naturalisation in october before the new requirement comes in.

    It looks like you'll be fine with the dates.
    Be very careful and resist any temptation to apply early. There's a very key and important pass/fail requirement around the timing issue and UKBA caseworkers have no discretion at all.

    Here's the spouse requirement:-
    The residential qualifying period will be worked out from the day we receive your application. Most unsuccessful applications fail because the applicant was not present in the United Kingdom at the beginning of the residential qualifying period. You must make sure you meet this requirement before you make your application. For example, if we received your application on 25 November 2005, you would have to show that you were in the United Kingdom on 26 November 2002.
