Why was your wife unable to apply for ILR in 2014?

Why do you need to take KOL and Language test if you are already British?

sorry for the irrelevant question to you but my wife is about to apply for flr(m) with old used esol certificate


did your wife used the esol certificate on the first time she applied for spouse visa or any previous successful application before been refused on her flr(m) on 2014?

[Casa]

If your wife is able to pass B1 level English and the Life in the UK test, I believe she should be able to apply for ILR.
Was she granted FLR(FP)?
From October of this year A2 level English will be required for an FLR(M) extension.

esol certificate used for the extend visa as it is 1 of the requirements for flr(M) application,2011 when applied for spouse visa no English language required at that time.thnx

many thnx casa...
that would be great news for us ..we are really confused on what to do and which direction can we go..
wife working too hard to get life in the uk and b1 test pass..

ho granted leave with the immigration rules under D-LTRP.1.2 Appendix FM..I dont know if this granted vis is FLR(FP) or not...thnx

It appears that your wife was granted FLR(FP). If she is unable to meet the English language rules for ILR, she can switch to FLR(M) assuming you are able to show £18,600 p.a minimum income (this can be joint) unless you are claiming carers allowance for your daughter who has a disability. If the latter, you would only have to meet the adequate maintenance requirement. From October, your wife will have to pass the A2 level English test from a Home Office approved provider.

It would make sense however for your wife to strive to pass B1 level English and the LIUK test if she wants to be free of immigration control.

dear casa..many many thnx for the help advice and explanation.. really appreciated
-i have not apply for the carers allowance..we have no idea about disability benefit..we have been advised by daughters doctor to apply for disability benefit for my daughter as we have no clue about that..she is entitle for benefit since 2/2016..but no application made..
wife very happy now when you advised to pass b1 and life test to be free of immigration restriction..

One tip which may help your wife with the LIUK test if she finds the spoken word easier than the written one (which is common)...she can listen to the questions through headphones during the test.
Do look into claiming disability benefit for your daughter as the doctor has advised. Your local Citizens Advice Bureau (CAB) should be able to help you with the forms.
Also are you aware that you can claim Working Tax Credit & Child Tax Credit if you are on a low income? If you claim these in JOINT NAMES if won't affect your wife's visa applications. Claim Child Benefit in your name only.
