    Tony, Liz needs to pass the Life in the UK test and an English test with B1 level (if she would be applying ILR on or after October 2013). Requirements are mostly the same when you applied the spouse visa since she is under the old rules. Check it here.. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/settlement/applicationtypes/applicationformset(m)/

    I'm guessing that your wife has her immigration status under the 'old-rules' (pre July 2012)?

    If so then she will be approaching the 24 months living in UK qualifying period.
    As you rightly mention, she'll need to have a pass certificate for Life in UK test.

    You should take a look at this forum thread
    giving details of the latest changes concerning English Language Test requirements effective from 28 October 2013.

    The earliest ILR application can be made is 28 days before the end of the qualifying period.
    (The actual date of arrival into UK)

    Just as an example if your wife began living in UK on 28 November 2010, then your 24 months qualifying period would be 28 November 2012. The earliest that your ILR application is allowed to be made is 28 days before 28 November 2012. So that would be October 31 2012

    I would also suggest a review of the requirements for ILR so that you can begin preparations for some of the documentations that are required. Some of these documents need to cover the 2 year period leading up to the date of application.

    Here's an example of the ILR form

    Here's an example of the ILR Guidance Notes

    Hope that helps, and well done for thinking ahead

    Sorry Rayna, didn't mean to duplicate. You had already posted when I finally pressed the button.

    No worries Peter. You provided Tony more information than what I said!
