Settlement (Protection Route)

[Joha]

Dear all!

I would be most obliged for an advice on the following circumstances:

* My refugee status was granted on Feb 2008 and expires Feb 2013
* My wife came to UK on student visa in Sep 2010
* We got married Dec 2010
* We applied for change of her status from Student to Dependant of Refugee (Exception was granted) in Jun 2011
* My wife received dependant visa on Sep 2011 valid until Feb 2013 (the same date on my visa)
* We expect a child to be born in Dec 2012

In January 2013 we shall apply for Settlement (Protection Route). The questions are:

* Do we need to pass Life in the UK test?
* Would my wife and child be granted ILR?

Many thanks for your help and contributions!

Any help or hint would be welcome. Also, perhaps anyone could point me on which part of Immigration Rules I shall look into?
