The government declared on January 18, 2016, that family route migrants who wish to
stay longer in the UK will now need
to speak English (https://www.gov.uk/government/news/new-a2-english-requirement-in-the-fam...).
Non-EEA national
partners and parents on the family path must pass an A2 Speaking and Listening test
after 2.5 years in the UK to be
eligible for further leave to continue on the 5-year partner or parent route to
settlement.
The government understands that those who will be impacted must have enough time to
get ready for the new exam. The Home
Office will confirm the implementation schedule and provide more information in due
course, which will then be posted on
the GOV.UK website. The new English language requirement for A2 won't have any
impact
