10 year ILR route - 12 month on current visa and B1 English cert.

[10yrilrrouteuk25]

Hi

I am planning to apply for ILR application under 10 year route (long residence). I have some queries.

My wife first entered into UK on 31/01/2015. And, she is currently holding FLR (M) Spouse visa which will expire on 1 April 2025.

Her 10 years will be completed on 31/01/2025. My questions are follows:

1) Can we apply for 10 year ILR before 28 days? i.e. After 04/01/2025?
2) Will 12 month visa held on current permission rule apply as she is already on 2 years in her current FLR (M) visa?
3) She is currently holding B1 English certificate from Trinity College London (passed in Nov 2019). She used it for her last visa application. Can we use this same certificate for ILR application? Or, does she need to take a new English test for ILR application?

I would appreciate your help on these.

2) Will 12 month visa held on current permission rule apply as she is already on 2 years in her current FLR (M) visa? No issue with this,
3) She is currently holding B1 English certificate from Trinity College London (passed in Nov 2019). She used it for her last visa application. Can we use this same certificate for ILR application? Yes, as it was used successfully for a previous application and provider on HO list. Or, does she need to take a new English test for ILR application?

I would appreciate your help on these.

Hi

Thanks very much for your answers. I really appreciate it.

Finally, shall we book bio-metric appointment after 31/01/2025 to be on safe side so by that time she will complete her 10 years in UK? Or, this doesn't matter?

Please let me know.

Please let me know.

The 10 years are now counted from the first visa issue date.
ILR can be granted within 28 days of completing the 10 years and onwards

Hi Zimba

Thanks for the clarifications.

At the at end of the application for SET(LR); we still cannot see super priority service options. Is this an ongoing issue with their website? We are just keep trying every now and then and hoping to be appear on the screen.

There’s a limit on how many people can apply for a faster decision
