Thank you for your guidance, as u said I found answers for most of my queries.

I have 2 more queries

1. query about English test. I had cleared English test through PTE academics when I applied for my Tier 2 General visa at the beginning.
PTE academics are currently not included in the list of UKVI approved institutions.

So is this test report acceptable by UKVI to apply for my ILR?

Thanks

No. You must sit a new test
