Terpe, my wife has not done life in uk, she dosnt need to. she came here march 2011 on spouse visa, so she is under old rules and she has already been here long enough for settlement. Life in uk test is not a requirment for flr(m) in fact its 1 of the requirments NOT passing life in uk test to be able apply flr(m) which was giving in flr application and why my wife didnt apply ilr settlement.. they have made big mistake.
