There is no English Language requirement to be met for an application under private life and most importantly no minimum income requirement.
The main requirement to be met for this route is that you are at least 18 years old and have lived in the UK continuously for less than 20 years and there would be very significant obstacles to your integration into the country to which you would be returned to if you had to live the UK.
Although the threshold is high, it is not impossible to satisfy. This is a two stage process which:
‘Very significant obstacles to Integration is defined as “something which would prevent or seriously inhibit the applicant from integrating into their country of return.’ This could be due to number of factors some of which could include:
You must demonstrate that they would be unable to establish a private life in the country of return and doing do would entail very serious hardship for the applicant.
To satisfy this condition, you must show that you have not been outside of the UK for a period of six months or more at any one time. It is your obligation to show that you have not or could not have left the UK for six months or more or your residence will not be continuous.
