Could you please possibly help me at all to clarify these 2 queries regarding my wife's spouse visa - in relation to Spouse Visa 5 year route

1. Could you please help clarify the earliest we can apply for it. The timeline is below:

· Arrive UK- initial entry October 1 2013

· FLR (M) successful – New visa Expires 30 Jan 2019

Is this the earliest we can apply either?

· 28 day prior to completion of 60 months which would be October 1 2018

· 28 day prior to expiry for FLR visa which is 1 Jan 2019


2. Expired B1- my wife completed a B1 English from Trinity College in April 2016, which was used for her FLR (M) in May 2016

The question there is, could we still use this B1 result for her SET (M)? which is due later this year or early next, depending on the answer to Q1.

The test expires after 2 years. However, the HO website says you can still use it as long as it's used in previous application (which it was i.e. FLRM) and still on accepted list of result (which it currently is)
