ILR After 5 Years Tier 1 General PBS

[zeeshah2013]

Hi,

My wife has completed her 5 years as a PBS Tier 1 General applicant.She is originally from Pakistan.
Can someone please guide me regarding the process for her ILR . I already have British Citizenship (After taking ILR based on 5 year tier 1 route).We have a 2 years old daughter who is also British.

1) Which Application form and guidance notes i need to use/Download. (Links would be Helpful)

2) Does she need to apply for English Language Test (She did not when she first came as a dependant and for extensions).
If she needs to, then which one we she needs to prep and which qualification while inside UK.

3) Does she needs to apply for Life in UK Test as well for ILR or is it for British Citizenship only.

4) How much is the Fees for ILR application.

I have searched for the above and kind of confused so wanted to check and confirm with the experts.
Thanks in advance.

She doesn't hold a visa to qualify for ILR on Set M, ie spouse settlement visa FLR(M).

If she holds a PBS dependent visa and has held it for the required time she applies on SET O.

Your set O quoted text clearly states PBS DEPENDENT.
