Wife moving to ILR from Tier 1 - I am on Tier 1 dependent

[abhinavsid]

Keep up the great work guys... I again need your expert advice - Here is the scenario -

My wife got her first HSMP visa on 12 Feb 08, after completing her masters in UK in 2006. She extended her stay in Feb 2010 through Tier 1 general visa till Feb 2013.

Now she wishes to apply for ILR.

second part - We got married in Oct 2012 and I got my Tier 1 dependent visa from India in November and am currently in UK and wishes to extend my stay,

My question:

1. [b]Do I (as current Tier 1 general dependent) need to apply for FLR M if I can? OR I need to extend my visa under point based system i.e. Tier 1 general dependent?[/b]

2. In case I have to apply under FLR M, Do I need to appear for English Test and Life in UK test to apply for FLR M?

Many Thanks again!!
Cheers!!
