7by7 Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 Please read this. I am assuming that you are asking about the English requirement for a UK settlement visa, and so have amended your topic title accordingly. If I am wrong in my assumption, kindly say which country you are asking about and I will amend the topic title again. There have been many topics on the English requirement for a UK settlement visa, this one being the most recent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogster Posted August 14, 2011 Share Posted August 14, 2011 My other half took the test on the 29th of July and passed with no problems.... The one she sat was the BULATS test.... it is a computer bassed test (the questions are all about working in an office) but she said it wasnt too bad !

My wife took the A1 English Test with Vantage-Siam same as frogster's other half, if you contact Kevin he can arrange a practice test by Email which could help your GF get some idea about it and calm her nerves. My wife would recommend it and found the staff easy going and kevin was very patient and helpful with the pupils. Things always seem more scarey than they really are ,I'm sure your GF will do very well, good luck to you both from Pomchob Edited August 14, 2011 by POMCHOB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
