When a ESOL test is taken, a subject topic is chosen in order to test the speaking and listening elements. Topics can be anything the examiner picks, ranging from talking about holidays to transportation etc.. The topic for your wife had been Life in the UK as a chosen topic, this is not the same as ...
The ESOL and Life in the UK test has never ever been combined in any context as far as I'm aware, so you couldn't have done a combined test. I think you are confusing it with the way the system worked in the past. At one point, it was sufficient that the Life in the UK test was considered to be ...

Normally, you can't book any tests in the next 7 days, it must be booked at least 7 days in advance (and it states this on the Gov website). So the first test is booked from day 8 onwards. That only leaves two weeks of tests being fully booked in your area if that is the case, a bit rare but it can ...
If I'm reading this correctly, it sound like instead of the husband coming into the UK to join the wife to live and to work/settle in the UK after obtaining the spouse visa, the wife has instead gone to live in Egypt and join the Husband. Family life has been spent living in Egypt, with only brief ...

Which English test did you and your wife submit? There was an investigation into some English test centres (EMD, TOEIC, TOEFL) regarding fraud/cheating and as a result, the Home Office placed many applications on hold for those submitting English certificates from these awarding bodies while their ...

Your wife can apply for ILR. In fact, she could have applied for it in October 2012 after completing the 2 year period (possible even if the FLR was still under consideration).
Your wife will need English Level B1 and Life in the UK test for ILR.
It is 28 days before meeting the 2 year residence which is calculated from date of entering/landing in the UK, not the date the visa was stamped or issued. It can be 28 days before the date the visa was stamped, provided the person entered the UK with 3 months of the issue of their visa. Hi Obie ...
You only need to satisfy the Speaking and Listening aspects. The Reading and Writing scores can be omitted. As the score of above 4.0 has been achieved in both speaking and listening that is a pass and you meet the requirements. @ networkers that document is a generic one used by application for all ...

Since you applied before 9 July 2012, you would be under the old rules, 2 years probationary period as mentioned, then you can apply for ILR.

The scores are fine and the test can be submitted again for ILR assuming the test is still on the list of acceptable qualifications as you don't mention which test it was.
In addition to this, you wife will also need to pass the Life in the UK test.
