There is no absence limit for a Spouse visa. You can apply 28 days before the 5th anniversary of the date you first entered the UK.Prn1402 wrote: ↑Thu Dec 13, 2018 12:17 amHi, I would like to know when the earliest I can apply ILR visa? I got spouse Visa about 5 years. I entry to the UK the first time (after I got spouse visa) on 15 April 2014.
And I were out of the UK 29 October 2017 and came back to the UK on 10 February 2018.
So Can I apply ILR visa on 16 April 2019 as I absent about 105 days in 5 years?
Many thanks.

Applying to settle in the UK
You can use a B1 level qualification that’s run out if both of the following are true:
* it’s on the current list of recognised tests
* it was accepted for another UK immigration application, for example when you got permission to enter

As part of the next step of my immigration I am required to submit an IELTS test certificate. From looking at the information available online I’m unsure whether I can submit my older IELTS Academic test certificate from 12th October 2013, or if I am required to take a new IELTS for UKVI test. Please could anyone clarify this for me?
Ps. I’m so confused about Ielts Academic and Ielts for UKVI. Are they the same?
Many thanks.
You took IELTS exam and that cert was accepted to enter UK .....IELTS is a very good certificate. IELTS is still approved.Prn1402 wrote: ↑Fri Dec 14, 2018 9:35 pmHi SAMISPOUSAL,
Thank you for your comment. I used old Ielts that I tested it in 2013 for apply spouse visa in 2014. It was approved. Then I got a new test in 2016 at Trinity College for apply spouse visa as Home Office Changed the rule about English requirements. And now I just checked all details what I need for apply ILR visa after I hold 5 years spouse visa. Then I found out that I can use English certificate ran out for apply ILR visa but it has to be in the list! In the list shows “Ielts for UKVI” and changed the name of certificate too. That why I would like to know it’s the same as my old one? But I still cannot find anywhere to make it’s clear about this.
It must also be at B1 level. A1 and A2 is required for spouse visa but will NOT be accepted for ILR.SAMISPOUSAL wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 7:59 amYou took IELTS exam and that cert was accepted to enter UK .....IELTS is a very good certificate.

If that provider was still approved in 2016 then YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE TAKEN another test in 2016.
That 2013 cert was good enough to get your FLRM in 2016.
now you want to apply for ILR. You can use the 2013 cert because it was accepted previously and if the provider is still approved. You can also use the 2016 cert as that was also accepted previously and if the provider is still approved....you may not have to take another test.. check if the provider is still approved.
Good luck.

YOU are unnecessarily making things complicated and picking things way out of context and adding to hell of a confusion. (Read the paragraph ABOVE the one you quoted...you are quoting from a discussion that is talking about 2 exams or 4 exams ..that is irrelevant to YOU as you only need two: speaking and listening..) Ignore the word UK VI Forget the word UKVI..it is only used to distignuish it from Australian VI and USA VI and so on.Prn1402 wrote: ↑Sun Dec 16, 2018 10:12 amThanks you guys.I got Ielts certificate is higher than B1 level in 2013, It’s expire in 2015. I used it for applying my spouse visa in 2014 and it was approved. But I didn’t use this certificate for applying spouse visa in 2016 as I couldn’t find I could use it when it’s expire. So I took Speaking & Listening Test (A1 level) for that.
Now I can see I can use B1 level test even it’s expire but my point is I’m not sure that my old Ielts is the same as an Ielts in the list? They are charged the name to “Ielts for UKVI”. My old Ielts doesn’t show Ielts for UKVI, no Unique ref no either.

Alternatively, you can take IELTS for UKVI, which assesses all four language skills. It's important to make sure you take IELTS for UKVI rather than our regular IELTS test. IELTS for UKVI is exactly the same as our regular IELTS test, but is the only version approved for UKVI purposes, and is only available at test centres selected by the UK government.
