English language requirement for naturalisation

Not sure if this even applies to those that wish to naturalise through marriage to a UK citizen, but if it does, I think a high school diploma may be suffiencent to prove adequate English. See link below. Note the bit about putting a 5th category up after 1st September, for foreigners from English speaking countries, which they have not actually put on the site yet.

I actually got through to a real human at the home office phone enquiry line today. I asked if a photocopy of my high school dimploma from the USA would be acceptable proof of english language proficiency and the guy said "YEP" without hesitation. Right - thats my application ready to go then! Hope that solves this whole language problem for the rest of you.

Great news, way to go!

omg, now to remember where my high school diploma might be!! 

I think I know where mine is....

fortunatly I only graduated 4 years ago and my grandma is ultra organized. I just called her and asked her to scan my dimplomas. I had them a few hours later! wooooo!!

This is bloody excellent news, Sarah.  Many thanks!  I've actually got mine quite handy so no problem when my time comes!

My high school diploma was in a box that went missing in the move over.  So, I guess I'll be paying a notary to authorise me.

any school qualification will do. or you can have a UK qualified teacher sign that form thingy to vouch for you. I bet you could also use your high school transcript (just call your highschool) or ask your highschool to send a letter on letterheaded paper saying you graduated in X year.
