FLR-FP to ILR, Advise Please.

[sfcm80]

Hi,

I need assistance from all members of this forum. I recently received my FLR-FP visa approved on 10 Year Partner Route. UKVI issued me 2.5 years visa. I have lived in this country 8.5 years so far til April 2019. I like to apply for ILR after i complete 10 Years lawful residence. But UKVI mentioned in the decision letter that i have to complete at least 10 years under this category of 10 Year Partner route FLR-FP? Can i still apply for ILR after i complete 10 years Lawful residence after adding 1.5 years from my current 2.5 Year Leave to remain?

My history is as under:

- Came to UK on 23 Aug, 2010 as PSW (Post Study Work)Dependant of my Husband.
- I applied for Tier-1 (General) PBS Dependant Visa with my Husband in March 2011 & Visa Approved in June
2011 (2 Year Visa).
- I applied as PBS Dependant extension under Tier-1 (General) with my husband in June 2013 and Visa Approved in July 2013 (3 Year Visa).
- I applied for ILR as SET(O) Dependant with my Husband in June 2016 on the basis of Husband completed 5 Year under Tier-1 (General) SET(O)
- My husband varied his ILR-SET(O) application to ILR-LR on the basis of 10 Year Lawful residence in March 2017 so i also had to vary my ILR-SET(O) Dependant application to FLR-FP.
-My Husband ILR was approved in Oct 2017 but my FLR-FP was pending until March 2019.
- Uptil March 2019, My husband and my 3 children (Born in the UK) all became British Citizen and have now British Passports.
- In March 2019, UKVI called me for an Interview over Skype as i had TOEIC in my immigration history.
- I attended this interview and it was fully about my TOEIC Genuineness.
-After the interview, UKVI was convinced that my TOEIC was genuine and they issued my 2.5 Year Leave to remain under 10 Year Partner Route of FLR-FP.

My questions are:

Q1:- Can i apply for ILR after i complete 10 Year of Lawful residence? I have spent 8.5 years in UK So far and i just have to add 1.5 year to that from my current 2.5 year Leave.

Q2:- Can my Husband Claim Child Benefit and Child Tax Credit for our children?

Q-3:- Will these Child Benefits claimed by my Husband affect my ILR or further extensions in the future?

Q-4:- If i carry on extending Visa under my current 10 Year Partner Route of FLR-FP, do i have to meet income requirement of £18,600 and the English Language requirements?

Q-5:- What level of English Language Test is required for Extension under my current category?


Sorry for the Long post. Please advise me regarding the questions.

Kind regards,
