thanks for all your replies.

now I am being a bit lazy here, my wife has a bachelors degree (taken in english) and she was working in the UK in the past. does she still need to do this test?

Thanks sushdmehta.

so as I understand:

1- apply for settlement visa (i'm guessing she has to do some english test first? too).
