Hi everyone

Who on this forum has already been through the citizenship application? I'm keen to know what level of language proficiency you needed and how was it measured in order to obtain citizenship - i.e. oral or written exam? Was it very in-depth, or do you just need to be able to communicate on a fairly basic level?

Thanks!
