Can anyone please advise. After applying for indefinate leave to remain my wife application was not granted as she failed Life in Uk test. (By 1 mark).
She has been granted 30 month leave to remain on paying £1000 health surcharge.
Whag does this mean?
She is unable to retake Life in Uk test due to Lockdown till 30th April.
If she passes her test can she reapply for indefinate leave to remain. We have twin babies 1 year old.
What should we do. Grateful for any advice.
Thank you,

If she knew that she had failed, why did she not retake the test before submitting the SET(M) application?

It most likely means that she has been moved to the 10 year FLR(FP) path to ILR. So she can remain in the UK, but her ILR will have been postponed until she completes 10 years of continuous legal residence in the UK (all continuous legal residence will count, including any period before her FLR(M) visa).

I contacted the Ho for advice regarding this and that due to lock down unable to retake Liuk.
They advised to email reviews and enquiries team to look at this matter.
Due to seriousness of our matter I contacted the immigration legal who did our application at 2 and half years extension for advice on emailing reviews team.
She asked me who gave me the advice to contact the reviews team. I explained Ho advisor.
She said it was wrong and that my situation
does not allow a review.
Is this correct then why did Ho advisor tell me to email reviews team.
She said refusal letter was correct and that I can either make a fresh application or pay surcharge, take Liuk test and then re apply either way its extra £3000 costs and more.

If she was granted leave under the 10 year route
she CANNOT simply re-apply for ILR as her ILR clock is now reset to zero. UKVI's decision was correct as per Appendix FM.
