Spouse visa extention

[alibinshad]

Dear All,
I have few questions and looking for some clarification please.

I am a British citizen and holding British passport. My wife is here from Pakistan on my sponsorship and we are going to apply her visa extension. My questions are as below:

1- Which visa form should I submit? is it FLR(M)?
2- What is the English requirement for her visa extension? She has already submit her IELTS result with her first application from Pakistan.Now its over 2 years and IELTS expired. Does she need to submit again?
3- She has spent 3.5 months when she visit last time Paksitan due to some family issue. This is the total amount she spent in her overall stay in the UK. Will this duration effect on her visa application?
4- We are taking child benefit. Should we mention in the application and does it effect on her visa application?

Thanks for your time and appreciate your answers.
Many thanks.

If you are British now, how did you manage that given that in April 2015 you said you were on Tier 1 General and planning to bring your wife?

Dear All,
Thanks for your response. Actually me and my brother using one login to discuss our family immigration issues. We thought people help here on individual post rather than cross check user's previous posts.

It is easier to have individual log ins or start a topic by stating who the question is for if it is not for you. People volunteer their time and if people have responded to you previously, then it creates confusion if you now post about something completely different.

Hi Case,
Thanks for your answers. I need some further clarifications.
2- She has passed her IELTS exam 3 years ago with 7.5 band from the list you mentioned. so question is does she need to resit again as IELTS only valid for two years.
4- Child benefits is on her name. I am a British citizen and holding British passport. She was here on Spouse settlement visa . I just check her visa and its says no resource to public fund. I did not realised this before. If I will change this child benefits on my name then will home office ask about previous transactions which were on her account?
Many thanks.

Speak to HMRC but yes, it is an issue if she has been claiming when she is not permitted to claim benefits.
Many thanks.

Thanks for the moderators who have provided the answers.

Wondered if I could ask a similar question as it is under the same topic too.
If a partner has a HND followed by a top up degree - 3 years, all completed in the UK, do they still need to provide a separate English qualification too?
Or when home office means a degree does that have to be a full 3 year degree? (no top ups/HNDs allowed?)

Thanks.
