Gov.uk 上昨天的announcement,针对spouse visa系列的语言要求进行了小改动。

原文quote:
The Prime Minister announced on 18 January a new English language requirement for family route migrants seeking to extend their stay in the UK.
Non-EEA national partners and parents on the family route will need to pass a speaking and listening test at level A2 in order to qualify, after two-and-a half-years in the UK, for further leave to remain on the five-year partner or parent route to settlement.
我的理解:
原先的要求: 首签语言 A1; 续签A1; 永居 A1+life in the UK
变更后的要求: 首签语言A1; 续签A2; 永居A2+life in the UK
变更后的政策在2016年10月之后才会实施,这之前都是按照原来要求。
