Hi,
Could any one can help me, I am having British Citizenship and my wife has got spouse visa and she got Indefinite leave to enter for 27 month as we got married and together more than 4 years .
on my wife visa as follows:

valid from:4/7/11 valid until : 4/10/13
type : VISA SPOUSE/CP
NAME; her name

Obsrv: Indifinete leave to enter the UK


1.what is that mean ILE?
2.why she has got visa for only 27 months? her passport expire date 23.6.2014
3.she has not passed Life in UK test that time , but she has passed recently.
4.she is qualified as Maters in Technology in India before her visa.
5.is that ILE is equal to ILR or we need to apply for her ILR? or direclty she can apply for Citizenship?
6. in her visa they din't mentioned any KOL REQD or No recouse of public funds.

please clarify in detail whether she has to apply for ILR now or no need?

Regards.

I think they have forgot to mention KoL required on the vignette, because just by having masters she did not meet KoL requirements.

You should apply for ILR asap. Actually you could have applied as soon as she passed LiUK test.

Before KoL requirement was introduced ILE truly was equivalent to ILR.

But when KoL requirement was introduced, ILE was practically a spouse visa only, but also a prior approval of ILR too if the applicant passed KoL within 27 months and then applies for ILR.

Thank you very much for your information, is there any way will effect her ILR if I get benefits ( working tax, child tax credits and child benefit) and even on her visa they did not mention anything like ' no recourse of public funds'.

and since last month I am not working ( temp lay off) as there is no work (delay in project) but I am having 4 months payslips up to May 2013, is it required to submit June month pay slip aslo if we apply by July 15 ( she is completing 2 years by 5th August)

Regards.
