Questions on FLR Application

[mythbust]

I'm out of UK and my husband has ILR visa. If I applied from Pakistan, I got two questions,

1) How to prove our annual income more than 19k? Payslips in which specified period?

2) I'm not skilled at English test. Which test is the easiest way for me to qualify?

Thanks a lot!

1) Your partner in the UK will need either 6 or 12 months Bank statements and Payslips depending on his/her employment status. Employed = 6 months and Self Employed = 12 months


2) The most commong test taken by people is IELTS but it is not easy if you have never attended and english medium school. ESOL, TOEIC and TOEFL would be amongst the easiest I would imagine. Here is a list of all the approved courses (http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/sitec ... -tests.pdf)

You should keep in mind that you will need to get the certificate from a genuine education centre and do not get scammed by any providers who provide fake or un recognised certificates...

Thanks for explanation. Is it easier to apply through dependent visa rather than spouse visa? Or I have to apply FLR visa? Any case I can waive English test?

As your husband has ILR - you can't apply as a dependant anymore - it must be as the spouse of a settled person.

So no - no way to avoid the english requirement.
