No, LIUK is a requirement for ILR and is not an English test certificate :

What is your current visa? And your spouse?

Thanks a lot for your reply CR001, I have switched to ILR from Tier2 in Oct this year and my spouse is still on tier 2 dependent which expires on mid jan 2012....

What was the start date of her visa and when does her visa expire? In the link above, which is the 'Can You Apply' it says :

You cannot apply in a partner category if you:

are the spouse or partner of a person who is settled in the UK or has British citizenship if their most recent permission to stay was under tiers 1, 2, or 5 of the points-based system; and
you do not qualify for settlement yet.
Instead, you must apply as a dependant under the relevant category of points-based system.

If you made an application to enter the UK on or before 8 July 2012 please see the Partners who applied on or before 8 July 2012 pages.

So from what I can understand in the link provided, she is pre 9th July rules and can apply to extend her PBS visa and once she has been resident for 2 years, she can apply for ILR.

You are welcome and I am a lady not a sir lol

I am not sure if you can use the same appointment, best would be to phone the UKBA or try and get another appointment nearer to the visa expiry or do a postal application to extend.

Did you get ILR based on Tier 2?

thewind · Post by **thewind** » Tue Dec 25, 2012 10:47 pm

Yes I got ILR from Tier2...

Maybe best would be to phone UKBA on Thursday and ask them if you can apply for PBS dependent with a FLR(M) appointment. I am not sure if you can or not unless a guru can answer that question for you.
