Flr

[joebloggs]

Oh! Right, Joe ... ! FLR didn't apply in our case ... with Myrna having come here as a spouse.

oh it could Arthur if your good wife didn't come to the uk within 28days of the visa being issued she might have had to apply for FLR in the uk, but as a spouse visa is valid for 27 months now not 24 months, most will not have to apply for FLR, as she could have taken nearly 4 months after her visa was issued to come to the uk.

also if your good wife could not pass her life in the uk test and her spouse visa was about to expire, she could apply for FLR instead of ILR

Thankfully, she passed the Life in the UK Test at her 1st attempt back in July ... so it's full steam ahead, now for ILR in early 2011 as you advised.

Apologies for hijacking this thread briefly, but just wanted to ask a quick question related to the Life in UK test.

If your wife is here on a spouse visa, can she take the Life in the UK test at any point prior to applying for ILR then?

Yes, Dave ... that's correct. The Test itself is based on the content of the official Home Office publication 'Life in the UK' 2007 [2nd Edition] - available from most good bookstores - along with its accompanying handbook containing sets of Practice Questions & Answers. Goodluck to Yam!

At this moment, it is, yes. But ... owing to new government legislation about to come into effect ... it would seem likely that a more up-to-date version will be published before next summer.
