Hi All, I am in a similar situation where I have an ILR (citizenship application in process) and my spouse is currently FLR(M) as well as our son who turned 3 in Oct 2017. I applied for and got 30 hours child care allowance. I provided details of both our incomes, jobs, NI etc. Please someone can co...

Hi Manci, We applied together (Me being the main applicant - T2 ICT) and her as a dependent in March 2010. So From 2010 - March 2014 she was in the UK. She left for delivery of our child in April 2014 and returned in Feb 2015. Her bank statements and Salary slips during the above period are availabl...

Hi Manci, Thank you for the note. The home office guidance (and the thread) mentions below: Eligibility for partners Your partner may qualify if all of the following apply: they have permission to be in the UK as your partner they’ve been living in the UK with you for at least 2 years if they applie...

Hi Experts,

Can someone please take a look at above and advise?

Thanks,
N.

Hi Community members: I am now ready to apply for the ILR with most supporting documents in hand. I have a couple of questions and hope I can get some guidance on that. My wife (currently T2G dependent) applied for the visa same time as me (Application date 31 March, 2010). However, she travelled ba...

Hi, I recently applied for and received my wife and 5 month old son's visas. Posting here so it may be useful to someone in the similar situation. Note that my wife was in the UK as T2ICT dependent and traveled to India for delivery of our child and her leave to remain expired during the timeframe, ...

Hi All, I am in process of applying for my wife and child (3 months old). I have prepared both their applications (each for wife and child) under "apply for someone else" in visa4uk. I have mentioned both their names under (are you travelling with anyone?) and my child's name under "d...

Hi Manci,

Thank you for responding. I also reached out to UKVI via email and they said that I can just mention that I don't currently have details in the notes section and they will look it up their systems if required.

Many thanks for the help once again. This community is great.

Hi Vinny,

Thank you for the response, I don't see the HO reference number scribbled anywhere but I see the BRP number scribbled on many pages at arrival stamp.

So is a SAR only option? How long does it typically take for a SAR request? Would calling UKBA help in this respect?

Thanks,
N.

Hi Manci, Thank you for responding. Yes, her leave to remain expired just after she left (In May 2014). I am reading the guidance and it says the Home Office Reference number would be prefixed with the first letter of your family name, for example Smith = S12345. I have letters from Home office invi...

Hi All, My wife who was in the UK as Tier 2 (ICT) dependent went back to India to deliver our first child in 2014. In between, I switched jobs and switched over to T2G. I am now applying for her to return to UK (along with my child) as a dependent. I am applying via VISA4UK and can't find help with ...

Hi Manci, Thank you for your reply. Tier 2 ICT Application date: 31 Mar 2010 (Entry clearance 21 May 2010) - are you sure of the application date which is the date when you paid the visa fee? when did you land in the UK? Yes, I have a mail stating from VFS in India on the same day that they have sen...

Hi All, I have recently switched employers and moved over to Tier 2 General from Tier 2 ICT Tier 2 ICT Application date: 31 Mar 2010 (Entry clearance 21 May 2010) - Tier 2 General Switch - 30 Oct 2014 - Valid up to Oct 2019. Can someone help me to determine: When can I apply for the ILR at the earli...

Hi Manci, Also, if I do switch to Tier 2 General, will my application be processed under new rules - maximum 6 years of stay in total? yes, if you switch from T2 ICT you can only get T2G leave up to March/April 16. Many Thanks, N. Hi Manci, I just got my T2G application documents back and apparentl...

Hi Mancy,

Thank you for the reply. Just one more question. It turns out my application falls under the rules in place before 6 Apr, 2010 and I can switch. If I convert to Tier 2 General, will my time spent as T2 ICT be counted towards 5 years total stay for ILR?

Hi Manci, Thank you for the response. I applied before 6th April 2010 (I believe I submitted the application around 30th March) - is there a way to find this out? I need to decide whether to take the job up (and switch to Tier 2 General) based on whether I shall be qualified for ILR in 2015. Also, i...

Hi All, I am currently in UK on Tier 2 ICT. I entered UK on 21 May 2010, however, I believe my VISA was stamped under rules in place before 6 April 2010 as my entry clearance states "VISA TIER 2(INT COM TRAN) MIGRANT (COS #)" - COS date is 22 March 2010 and VISA start date is 8 April, 2010...

Hi Manci, Thank you so much for taking time to reply to my queries. Based on your reply in another thread, I have just one more query. My COS start date is 22 March 2010. I am sure my employer paid the visa fees around 1st or 2nd April 2010. My VISA page mentions below: "VISA TIER 2(INT COM TRA...

Hello members, I traveled to UK on T2 ICT on 21 May 2010 and have been here ever since. My VISA start date was 8th April 2010. From what I understand from the rules, I cannot extend my stay beyond 5 years on current rules in place. My question is: 1) Am I eligible for ILR under the present rules? (F...
