FLR(M) Form
 
3-- what level of English does she required to qualify for spouse visa ?

Level A1. Please refer to FLR(M) Guidance
 
4--Does she need Life In the UK test now for spouse visa after October 2013 changes ?

No not now, but yes at the time of Settlement.
 
5--Do I need to show funds for my wife’s application or for my application ?
 
No for you and WRT your spouse only if she's been granted her first dependent visa (Entry Clearance) under Old rules (Pre July)

6--Our baby due in November or December , so shall I apply my baby's visa once I get my visa or or do I have to include my partner's spouse visa.

Forget about making any application as of now. Once you get your ILR, you can register your baby using MN1 Form. However, i am assuming that your baby will be born in the UK.
 
I am looking forward for your answers and advice , its be really helpful if your answers will be in details.
 
Thanks

Thanx for your reply,

I have a subsequent question My Mrs Applied for entry clearance in May 2012 before new rules introduced but she received her VISA on 19 July and travel in September.

My question is she come Pre-July rules I mean old rules or new rules.

Kind Regards

I'm assuming the above query is still impersonating your friend's missus.

I'd assume it to be under Old rules. You can figure it out easily, If you did not had to fulfill the Financial Requirement then she was issued her entry clearance under Old Rules.

Yes, Indeed the question posed about my friends Mrs.

Thx.
