Spouse application for settlement

[Maiwand2009]

Hi there,

My spouse is applying for settlement after completing five years in the UK, does she have to fulfill English Language requirement (B1) alone or does she have to do the Life in the UK test too? Also what happens if she can't pass the Life in the UK test on time for the application? (if required)

LIUK Test is a must

Also what happens if she can't pass the Life in the UK test on time for the application? (if required)
