I agree ast, I think they are making it deliberately ambiguous and not making it clear for deceptive reasons ( this is my humble opinion ) but I have dug deeper and I believe at present the new proposals do not include British Spouses.

If they do bring in the 10 year law, i would have thought that those already here would still be subject to 3 years, as in if they brought the law in today, all applications from September 2012 would have to be here 10 years, prior to that date still 3 years.

don't see why.....but if you say so

I was hoping they would adopt the same policy, when they brought in the need for a ESOL and citizenship qualification, in order to get ILR, but, alas no they didnt. It cost us an extra £850 in the end.

What's the fee for the ILR application these days and is it a straight forward form never having seen one?????

Missus was called today and told she can't come back to college.

They made a mistake, didn't know their own rules and she can't go because she hasn't been in the Uk a year. They will refund my 299 quid sometime this month

She can go if I she want, but at 4950 pounds we can't really afford it.

She is devastated at the moment, she really liked it, considering she hadn't been to school properly when she was young as well.

Some [at][at][at][at] goes and ruins it again

Her only other option is to claim asylum, but that isn;t going to happen

fucking cunts

Sorry to hear that. Just when you think youve got your fingers on the top of the cliff, some b`stard comes and stamps on them.

Im not quite sure what your on about ,, but would like to learn more ,, what did you give them 299 for and what do they want 4950 for ? if she has been here less than 1 year what visa you looking to achieve ?? surely you only want a FLR at this stage which will give her 2 years to learn the UK citizenshit test , then you will apply for her ILR ,,,,,, mabe I got hold of the wrong end of the stick here ,, anyway were off on holiday now so good luck

If your on about an ESOL language course your in the same boat as us ,, as she is non EU cost me £500 in essex region for my missus course level 3 ESOL,,,its free if they been here 5 years or if you have been married here 2 years ,, well thats the rule in essex ,,,, although I have an appointment with the local MP later to see if he can do anything about a rebate for us as I see it as discrimination ,,, no doubt the government will see it as a good money making excersise ,,,,,bastards !!!

My misses has all the books now, the official one which is a bit hard going and another one with 1000 questions and answers in + a cd with practice questions on and she reckons she'll be up for just taking the test in a couple of months, should be ok, multiple choice test, requiring 18 out of 24 to pass, saves going to college.

My wife just had the official book and it took her just over a week of study before taking the test

and bothering me with lots of questions

so it is fairly straightforward if she has reasonable English

just a bit methodical my misses, she is reading the official book along with her Thai/English dictionary and looks up every word she doesn't know, i'm just leaving it up to her how she wants to do it, best way i've found!!!!!!!

there are lots of things a dictionary does not tell you

like what the legal system of the UK is etc

I suppose Google is good, but you would be faster (I hope!)

good luck to her anyway

pretty much that

misinfo from the college. they said married more than one year. no mention of time in the country.

put some more paperwork in after she had started. finance people told her fuck off or pay 5k.

we fucked off.

I've written to the principal and cc'd all 18 of the board of governers.

I paid for a service which was sold to me at 299 pounds, now they want to increase it to 5k because one of their staff made a mistake.

Fuck that.
