Pre July 2012 Spouse Visa FLR or ILR

Post by thunderb0lt » Sat Oct 17, 2015 3:19 pm

Hello

My cousin's Pre July 2012 spouse visa is about to come to an end. I need some advice with options please.

Is there any difference in terms of lanaguage requirements for FLR or ILR application?

She has A1 certificate, is this sufficient or do you now need B1 and Knowledge of life in the UK for FLR and ILR?

What kind of cohabiliation evidence is required?

What is the currently maintancne level threshold. She has a British child, will the maintainance requirement take into account the child?

Thanks

English B1 and LIUK for ILR.

Cohabitation examples are listed in the form towards the back.

Is it a PBS dependent visa or a spouse of British/settled person vis?

Thanks for prompt reply CR001. In asnwer to your question its a spouse of British person visa.

What is the income maintenance for couple with child (the child is dependant but british, therefore not part of the application).

Thanks

The visa was applied for in May 2012. It went to appeal. She was granted the regular spouse visa it expires sometime in November. Other than this she has no other immigration history.

Thanks
