My wife came here on a 2 year settlement visa in August 2006. Because she left school at 11 and comes from a poor farming background, she was never able to learn english and so in 2008 and 2010 she applied for FLR (M). In 2007 she attended the basic ESOL class, but I had to stay with her as she couldn't understand or respond to what the teacher was saying. That affected her confidence badly, but last year she attended another basic ESOL class and was much better. Unfortunately the class closed due to lack of funding. She started a one on one teaching with an ESOL teacher but found that too tough and I have tried to teach her english myself, but she finds it very difficult at 54 years of age. I started to fill out the current FLR (M) form when I noticed that they have changed the immigration rules. I wasn't aware that she has to pass an A1 english test now for FLR. I have contact several of the UKBA chosen exam centers but they nearly all had cancelled the June exams due to lack of demand. My wife's current visa expires on June 9th this year and we won't have time to provide an A1 pass certificate. We have been to the CAB, but they couldn't really help and we are really worried that after nearly 6 years living together here, she will be deported. I contacted the Home Office about my concerns but the lady I spoke with was far from sympathetic. My wife has worked hard since coming here, pays her own taxes and N.I and is well liked by all who know her. She pays her way and isn't a burden on anyone, she is distraught. Is there anything we can do in such a short space of time?, we have to send off our FLR application minus the exam pass any day now.
Thank You.

Already Tried:
We have tried the local CAB who gave us two charitable organisations to contact, but we couldn't get through to them. We have contacted several UKBA recognised test centers, but they are not running the tests again until Oct/Nov.
