Very wise to prepare. Under current requirements, A2 level English will qualify for FLR(M) and B1 level + the Life in the UK test for SET(M).mali167 wrote: ↑Tue May 01, 2018 8:15 pmMy wife's in Pakistan. I have applied for her visa and will hear back in a month's time hopefully.
Once they're here on visa and then need to reapply after 2.5 years or however long, they need to pass a certain test. Could someone pleae tell me exactly what it's called?
I just want to help her prepare for it once she's here so when the time comes, we don't have to worry too much.
Thanks.

As in, can it be 3 months before expiry? It all depends on when she enters the UK. If you apply for an extension too early, you will end up with a shortfall for ILR and will need a 3rd spouse visa extension to cover a couple of months.
And is the waiting time the same as 12 weeks? Also, do they have priority/non priority in that case as well? You can apply in person for a same day decision when you apply for an extension.
