family visas

[meritocrat]

Dear all,
I would appreciate if you could help me with questions below. I have an ILR, but my wife and a child are abroad (non English speaking country)

1) Does my wife need to prove she meets the English language requirement test?.
2) In an online application, will choices be :Settle->>Settle->>-Wife to create an application?
3) if she wants to avoid the English language requirement, what application should we use?

Many thanks in advance,
M

Dear all,
I would appreciate if you could help me with questions below. I have an ILR, but my wife and a child are abroad (non English speaking country)

1) Does my wife need to prove she meets the English language requirement test?. Yes, level A1 for entry clearance as spouse of person settled (ILR)
2) In an online application, will choices be :Settle->>Settle->>-Wife to create an application? Yes
3) if she wants to avoid the English language requirement, what application should we use? She can't avoid it for a spouse visa unless there are exceptionally compelling reasons and you have the proof or she is over 65 years of age

Many thanks in advance,
M

Thanks a lot CR001,

What if she applies for Famjily visitor visa (1 year)?
Does she still need to pass the language requirement?
And if she doesn't, can she extend/or change to a dependent visa once she passes the language test?

Many thanks

How will she prove her intent to return to her home country on a visit visa? She cannot stay/live in the UK for 1 year on a visit visa anyway.

She cannot switch to another category if she is in the UK on a visitor visa.
