CONFUSION BETWEEN FLR(M)or SET(M)

[em-em]

Hi everyone,please anyone can help..i came here in the uk last may 2012 under marriage visa,i applied for FLR(M)around august 2012 and they grant me a spouse visa ON 21 MARCH 2013 valid till 21 MARCH 2015,can i apply for ILR?i am not claiming any benefit since i arrived here in the uk and continously living with my English husband,we have a daughter together that was born here and the other one is on the way,what's confusing me is at the back of the letter that i had from UKBA i can apply for ILR after 2 years but some sites says that u have to complete the 5 years first before you can apply for ILR..please any reply will help as also i'm worried that maybe they will send me back home without my children if i filled the wrong form.thank you!

SET(M) from 28 days before 21 March 2015. B1 English and LIUK required.

thanks amber,i still have questions..i had an IELTS test (2011) before coming over into the UK which is expired now and my scoreband was 5 is that ok instead of B1 English test or do i have to get a new one?i know i have to take LIUK test too.And also how much does my husband have to earn now per year as we have a 15 month old daughter and i'm 20 weeks old pregnant at the moment,thanks!

[Amber]

An expired test should be ok if it meets B1 as per the UKVI approved test list https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... t_2014.pdf. For adequate maintenance see http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigr ... 04025.html

thanks amber i just had a look and my english test was in level B1 and even though it's only valid for two years it should be enough so long i still have my IELTS certificate and i think my husband earns £21,800 per annum and he's claiming a child benefit for our daughter hope that's ok..and also do i have to include my childrens name in my application form eventhough they're born here under and their dad is english?if i don't need to include them does UKBA wants to see their birth certificates?thanks a lot!

[Amber]

No they shouldn't.

[em-em]

it doesn't show in my husband's account that he claims benefit for our daughter so do i have to send the child benefit claim form from HMRC or i don't have to as i'm not gonna include them in my application form?thanks

[em-em]

i'll answer my own question i don't have to send claim benefit form coz they're not applying with me!

[Amber]

You should include on the form, and provide the ChB statement.

[em-em]

sorry i thought i don't have to include their names on the form as it says that only if you have children who's applying with you as dependant

[Amber]

Still include them in 3.9.

[em-em]

ok thank you very much amber i really do appreciate your time as all this questions does my head in!it seems like i'm thinking more of this than my pregnancy,at least some of the questions have been answered now and it clears my mind a little bit,hope before i apply for ILR the immigration rules won't change..thanks once again!

[em-em]

[Amber]

[em-em]
