1. If you are applying for ILR based on 5 years residence on Tier 1 G, then your wife can continue to extend her Tier 1 G visa or if she wishes, she can switch to FLR(M).

2. If baby is born in the UK, then once you have ILR, you can register the baby as British on form MN1. If baby is born abroad, the baby will need a visa.

English A1 required for FLR(M).

If she changes to FLR(M), you need to meet the financial requirement of £18,600pa (wife only) but more if you have a child that is not British. FLR(M) will also reset her clock towards ILR and she will have to wait 5 years on FLR(M) - 2 x 2.5 year visas.
