I have read different posts on the forum and bit confused now, please advice. My 10 yrs ILR under process. After ILR do I need to use SET(o) or FLR(m) for my wife visa extension as she is in UK as my dependent since July 2007. Thanks. Kam.

Hi Vinny
your assistance is much appreciated.
Following is plan after reading, plz correct me if I am wrong or just reply Yes if ok:
1. first I will apply for my 21 months old via NCS by using MN1.
2. wife visa will extend by FLr(M) and she needs to pass life in the UK test.
3. If baby born after ILR passport will be applied directly without MN1 route. And do I need to send my passport with ILR with baby application.
Many thanks.
Kam

1. Yes (if child was born in the UK), after grant of your ILR.
2. English test required for FLR(M). Apply before her leave expires. KOL required for settlement.
3. Yes, provide proof of your ILR.

Hi Vinny
As per UKBA guidance I phoned college of excellence at Greenford London re A1 english test and they are asking Â£150 for test fees only. Do you have any knowledge as this is too much fees for such a basic level test. Any experience guys, please share .............
Also, my wife passed IELTS (Academic) in 2006, can she use that result or not as it is too old now???

Thanks
Kam

Having looked at the website, policy guidance and the relevant immigration rules, I haven't been able to find anywhere that an examination result must be presented within its validity period else it will not be accepted by UKBA. Neither does UKBA mention anywhere that an applicant must present a "valid" examination test report.

Just as an applicant may have been awarded a degree (acceptable to UKBA for the purpose of proving English language proficiency of an applicant) many years ago but is still accepted by UKBA, similarly an examination result (e.g. - IELTS) should be accepted by UKBA irrespective of when the applicant may have passed the said examination.

With regards to the (maiden) name of the applicant on the IELTS test report, if the applicant used a passport as identity proof to register / write the exam, submitting that passport along with the test result should suffice. A brief and concise explanation of the matter in a covering letter may also help the caseworker to understand the "passed exam before marriage and changed family name after marriage" scenario.

regards

Interestingly, if you had limited leave to enter or remain in the United Kingdom under paragraphs 128-193 (but not paragraphs 135I-135K) immediately before being granted ILR, then your wife may apply for ILR - SET(O) (196E). KOL required.

HI Vinny
I want to ask few things if you would help me i really appreciate it.

Currently I am on tier-1 general visa and i have recently applied for ILR on long residence SET(LR). My wife is my dependent and she is also on Tier-1 General Dependent visa which is valid till 02-05-2016. so my question here is when i gets my ILR then when my wife can apply for ILR i mean how long she has to complete the qualifying period?. Does she need to apply for FLR(M) or FLR(FP)? or she can directly apply for ILR on her own basis on the completing of required qualifying period. just want to mention here my wife came to uk in april 2010 as TIER-1 PSW but she switched her visa as a tier-1 general dependant in march 2011.
if she must need to switch her visa to FLR(M) OR FLR(FP) then does she need to apply for it straight after i gets my ILR?
