Confused regarding english test requirements

Post by israr96 » Tue Nov 22, 2022 9:43 pm

Hi all, my wife is on the 5yr route spousal visa, we just applied for FLR(M) (second time extending noe at 5 years) as she does not have her B1 English requirement,. She does however have the A2.

Will she now go onto the 10yr route? Also if so, if she passes her B1 and life in the UK do we have to wait 10 yrs or can she apply to go back to the 5yr route and get a British citizenship?

Thanks in advance!

FLR(M)’s English language requirement under E-LTRP.4.1A.(iii) doesn’t exceed A2. She is still on the five year route. Apply for SET(M) when she has KoLL, etc.

A2 is acceptable requirement for FLR M. Its is at SETM application time that B1 is required.
