Flr (m) refused

[Terpe]

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.

Junior,
Please read my post again.

I never at any time mentioned Life in UK Test.
I never at any time mentioned new rules or old rules.

I'm talking about English Language Test at level A1

Since 29 November 2010 there has been a requirement for English Language Test
Take a look at FLR(M) Section 8

For FLR(M) you need English Language Test A1 level.

My opinion is that the FLR(M) failure is due to non-compliance with Section 8

Without that the FLR(M) will fall for failure.

Please consider my original suggestion.

Are you able to inform here on the exact wording of the refusal?

I stand to be corrected, but as far as I understand the rules there is NO REQUIREMENT for LIUK for FLR(M)
BUT there is a clear requirement for English Language A1
That's why I ask.

I can inform you I have recently heard about a case where the person applied for FLR(M) extension INSTEAD of ILR for other reasons (criminal offence) the extension to stay was granted.
