Essentially the UK requires you to speak English and have a job offer over 26k GBP in a skilled role where 'Skilled' expects the skills needed are that of an 18 year old school leaver, or less skill requirements if it's a role with a shortage, or less money if you have an advanced degree. That's pretty open IMO.
- Spivak 4y agoDang, the US doesn't even require you speak English.
- gray_-_wolf 4y agoIsn't this probably caused by US actually not having an official language?
- dilyevsky 4y agoIt is a requirement for naturalization tho (N400 form) but the "test" is laughable.
- School-Cotton 4y agoIn practice it seems unlikely that someone could get an H1B-eligible job without speaking English, except in some unusual situations.
- dilyevsky 4y agoMy recollection is UK immigration required you to pass some sort of UK version of TOEFL. US only has an official "language test" during naturalization and it's basically just one question that immigration officer asks you. Quite a difference in effort.
