ILR inquiry

[Kellychoi]

Hi,

Thank tou for your attention. I am on FLR(M) second period and expires next July(more than 1 year left)
However, I want to prepare in advance.

1. I have a qualification functional skills Level 2 in Enlgish and am attending a course in the College in Housing Level 3(equibulant to A-level or NVQ level 3, SVQ3 or level 6 on SCQF.) Do I still need an English test?

2. Do I need Life in the UK test as well? If yes, Can I take it now for next year?

3. How much is the financial requirement for ILR only with savings? I have a son.

4. What form should I use after FLR(M)?

I appreciate if you could answer above questions.


Thank you.

P.S.

5. I have been in the UK since June 2012(students visa for about 1.5 years) and will have holding a spouse visa for more than 5 years by the time I apply for ILR.
Do I need at least 12 months holding ILR to apply BC and then apply for British passport?

You can’t use qualifications like GCSEs, A levels or National Vocational Qualifications (NVQs).
UKVI acceptable tests: https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... entres.pdf

2. Do I need Life in the UK test as well? If yes, Can I take it now for next year?

Yes you can get it now. It is valid forever

3. How much is the financial requirement for ILR only with savings? I have a son.

ILR has no financial requirement Under SET(M), same as the FLR(M)

4. What form should I use after FLR(M)?

SET(M)

5. I have been in the UK since June 2012(students visa for about 1.5 years) and will have holding a spouse visa for more than 5 years by the time I apply for ILR.
Do I need at least 12 months holding ILR to apply BC and then apply for British passport?

If your spouse is NOT a British national, yes. You need 12 months without any immigration restrictions.
Otherwise you can get BC immediately after ILR

3. Just a correction on this question, for ILR based on Set(M), you still have to meet the financial requirements of £18,600pa and submit evidence for a minimum of 6 months.
