Maintain the B1 English Language requirement for ILR
Scrap the planned B2 English language requirement and maintain the B1 requirement for qualifying for ILR, to bring it in line with a majority of UK citizens who have GCSE level English and may not have formal A-Level qualifications.
We believe it’s unfair for non-native English speakers to be required to have a higher academic level of English over UK-born citizens.
If you want to sign this petition (as opposed to merely discuss it), you need to do that on the government's e-Petitions website.
