[Chrisrice]

Dear All,

I got my ILR as being a long residence UK in Oct 2013.My question is that my son who is born abroad is my ILR dependent (issue on Feb 2014) and my wife is also born in abroad and she is also my ILR dependent (issue on Feb 2014).

(1) Next month 02/Feb/2016 my wife and son ILR dependent visa will be expiring.
(2)Which criteria they have to apply now,are they eligible to apply a ILR,I was wondering which application form do they have to fill?
(3) My wife don't have Life in UK test certificate because she could not pass,is there will be any problem if she don't have LIUK certificate?
(4)What are the bank other document does my wife and son need to show Home office?
(5) Last question is how much bank statement or salary do I have earn to show to Home office?

Can you help me please.

Thank you in advance,
Chrisrice

What was their UK visa status before applying for their current visas?

Any advice or response will be based on what you answer in the above question.

3. LIUK is for ILR, your wife needs LIUK, there is no avoiding this, her application will be refused if she does not submit it.. If she does. She also needs to meet the English level B1 requirement.

Thanks CR001,before current visa my wife and son were on student dependent visa.Now as I got my ILR they are my ILR depdendent and can you tell me which form my wife have to fill if she want to extend as a ILR dependent visa instead of ILR(due to LIUK) and I believe my son (12 Years ) old is qualified for ILR(which form does he need to fill) please?Many thanks for your help.

[CR001]

FLR(M) to extend.

[Chrisrice]

Thank you very much CR0001,Another question, I heard it from my relatives that if our small son is just only 16 months,my wife do not have to give LIUK test ( I might be wrong) can you clarify this Q & A please?

Last question is that,Will my eldest son 12 years old is entitled to apply ILR,if yes can you tell me which form do he have to fill please?
Thank you in advance,

[CR001]

LIUK is not required for FLR(M). She is not exempt form LIUK because she has a baby. You have 'heard' wrong.

English A1 level is required for FLR(M).

Not sure if 12 year will qualify if mother doesn't apply. If he does, it would be Set(F) form.

Edited

Typically the visa status of children born abroad will be in line with that of the less-privileged parent.

So, if your wife is unable to acquire ILR, it is likely that your children born abroad can not either.

LIUK is not required for ILR.

I think CR001 meant to say that LITUK is not required for FLR. It is required for ILR.

Another question, I heard it from my relatives that if our small son is just only 16 months,my wife do not have to give LIUK test.

To the best of my knowledge, the only exceptions to the LITUK test are if the applicant is under 18 or over 64. Maternity is not an exception.

Has your wife attempted the LITUK test? It is not very difficult. Check out your local council library. Some of them have classes and/or study groups that help out with learning about the test.

Corrected, thanks

Thank you so much CR0001,Now I am clear that my wife can apply FLR(M) with A1 English,but I am still confused that will my 12 years old son will qualify for ILR because he was my ILR dependent visa since 2014 and his visa expire on next month 02 Feb 2016?Can you clarify it more detail please?

Thank you in advance

"Has your wife attempted the LITUK test? It is not very difficult. Check out your local council library. Some of them have classes and/or study groups that help out with learning about the test"

Thanks secret.simon,with my honest answer my wife gave LIUK test 4 times she only get 14 - 15 score out of 18,I know it is not a difficult as having with a small baby and a full time mom.Now we have planned to get help from local council or private edu centre to brush her LIUK in more detail to pass on next time.

But we have some question,could you help us please?According to UKBA,my wife will fill FLR(M) form which cost £649 and but I am still confused that will my 12 years old son will qualify for ILR because he was my ILR dependent visa since 2014 and his visa expire on next month 02 Feb 2016?Can you clarify it more detail please?

Thank you all.

Dear CR001 ....just wondering my wife have got city and guild (ESOL level certificate Entry Level 2) issued on Feb 2013,my question is that if my wife wants to extend her visa as my ILR dependent,can we used this ESOL entry level 2 certificate to extend her visa?Can you clearify pls?

Thanks

[CR001]

I am not sure if she can use the 2013 one. Since 12 November, HO is no longer accepting ESOL, but I am not 100% clear if this is applicable to older tests or only for tests taken AFTER April 2015.

Thank you in advance

[vinny]

He won't qualify for ILR without his mother qualifying for SET(M) (two-year route), unless he qualifies under Long residence. If mother hasn't satisfy the KOLL requirements, then they should both extend on FLR(M).

[Chrisrice]

Thank you Vinny for the prompt reply.Another question is there differnt FLR(M) application form for dependent under 18 or we can use the same FLR(M) application like my wife.Thank you sir

[vinny]

One form is sufficient for both your wife and son.

Partner (2-year route)
You can only include your children under 18.

How much do you have in savings? If you don't have £62,500 or over you need a job paying over £18,600 and held it for the last six months.

A siblings passport won't help at all....
