Hello

can you advise me following

1- which documents are required to attach with application
2- if she need life in the UK and English test certificate
3- can she apply on the window ( same day service)


will really appreciate you help.

There are different requirements depending on which route she is using to apply for ILR.

So is it ILR through 6 years discretionary leave to remain on Set(O) or is it ILR based on 10 years long residence on Set(LR)?

thanks for your prompt response CR001

she got both options opened , but most likely will go for " ILR through 6 years discretionary leave to remain"

as i heard ( i am not sure) this route doesn't need LIUK & English test for ILR.

I think it does require LIUK but not English.

If the first Discretionary Leave was granted before July 2012, which I think it would be in your wife's case as she has been on that visa for 6 years, I believe she does not need LIUK or English

And I think it would be much easier going for ILR based on 6 years leave as the evidence documents needed would be less compared to going via the other route.

Feel free to correct me if I'm wrong.
