FLR(M)

[irana2015]

Dear members,

I am currently on tier 1 entrepreneur extension completing my 10 years completing on 2nd September and will go for same day premium appointment within 28 qualifying period in Aug. Also, I am completing my tier 1 ENT 5 years in June and same as my wife as a dependent but wont take risk due to number of silly refusals nowadays so I decided to go for 10yrs LR. I am aware my wife;'s clock reset to another 5 yrs

My wife is switching to FLr(M) and she has already taken B1. If I look at 04/2018 FLR-M form its only shows to select A1 or A2 and no option to select ABOVE?

Can you please advise if B1 is still acceptable as its higher but where to fill this on the form?

Many thanks- IR

Whichever route (5 years/10years) towards ILR you are willing to opt the necessary documents proving that you were abiding by the conditions of your visa can be requested by the caseworker.
A1 test is for intitial and A2 test is required for extending spouse visa. But B1 test is for ILR but still that one can be used in earlier stages of spouse visa as long as the test has been taken from HO approved list of centres and types.

Thanks for the reply but I am still confused there is no option over FLR-M to tick that we are attaching B1 test with the application. The only options are A1 and A2- thanks

Hi seniors members,

As per my last post please advise how to fill in FLR (M) form about b1 test from trinity college?

Doesn't it just ask "What is the CEFR level you are required to meet?"

Submitting a higher level approved test is acceptable.

As per common sense simply click on relevant level of test (A1/A2) then in additional info section simply explain that you are attaching higher level which is B1.

Thanks Vinny. It is in the form asking what is the CEFR level you required and then A1 (tick box) and A2 (tick box).

Thanks seagul-
I am afraid common sense does not work all the time especially when UKVI comes to silly reasons. I am happy to select A1 but there is no section to explain saying this is B1 higher level etc....to be on a safe side .

Many thanks- IR

Thanks Vinny- This makes perfect sense (this means I will be ticking A1 and adding the unique reference number as per below on the application form).
