New UKBA Requirements for Settlement and Naturalisation

[purple]

Thanks peter its crazy that someone can live here for 3yrs & still needs to pass an english speaking test

I think that's pretty understandable. I can understand it from UKBA point of view.

I've seen some people here who are residents and been here for 10 years and still not fluent with the English language.
I think that is only fair, like there are children who go to school and don't even speak a word of English because their parents who are residents here are not good with it.

You guys here are lucky because Filipinos speak decent conversational English
