My wife and stepson are coming up to the time when we need to renew their settlement visas. They will have been resident in the UK for two years with no problems. Will we be able to get indefinite leave to remain now? My wife is not at the stage where she would be able to pass an English test or the Life in the UK test. She has been learning English but finds it very difficult.

Can we get another two year visa? I can’t see info on the UK visa site about reapplying and I think that indefinite leave to remain now not as easy to get.

Thanks for your help.

In order to qualify for indefinite leave, your wife will need to have passed either an ESOL with Citizenship course or the Life in the UK test. Failing that she should apply for a further two years on form FLR(M) with your step-son included in her application as a dependant.

Scouse.
