Thanks Damanisshallo.....
Actually it’s for my wife, she has A1 Level certificate from Trinity College....she is my dependant I will apply for her FLRm as soon as I get my ILR on 10 year basis. But as I read in this forum she will be eligible for ILR as soon as she gets her FLR because she is my PBS dependant for the last 4 years.
So my question is that once she get her FLRm using this A1 level certificate, can she use the same certificate for her ILR application or she needs some other test to pass and get another certificate.
Thanks a lot for your help.
Life in the UK test will serve as her English qualification when she is filling her SET(M) form as the section 5.2 of SET(M) form indicates. Strangely LITUK test does not count for this purpose when filling FLR(M) form. But it is all you need for ILR applications using SET(M) as your dependant.
Here is the UKBA note about it on SET(M) form section 5.2;
"Note 1: Relevant qualifications are either:
• A pass in the test known as the “Life in the UK” test (aimed at those with English language ability at or above ESOL
Entry 3 Level – see Note 22a-j of the guidance notes which accompany this application form); or
• A relevant ESOL with citizenship qualification issued by an approved awarding body, undertaken at an accredited
college, and demonstrating that you have progressed at least one level, as described in Note 22l-m of the guidance
notes which accompany this application form.
If submitting a relevant ESOL qualification, you must also include a letter from your college containing the information specified
in Note 22m of the guidance notes which accompany this application form."
Please read section 5 of the SET(M) form for full English Language requirement.
