I have recently obtained ILR (Indefinite leave to remain) but my 2 kids and spouse are still on Tier-1 dependant visa's and they will be eligible to ILR only after 3yrs. Can i still claim Child Benefit for my 2 childrens as my understanding is that from this post is after ILR i am eligible to claim ...
aparva is it your application recent one and they did not ask for any evidence for absence?in the recent form there is place where you need to fill in details explaining what evidence you have provided for absence?
perfect.....so no of absence days before 5yr period does not matter?
But still good character and Employment History from the date of Entry in UK after first EC does matter?
I have recently got my ILR I understand that after 12 months I am eligible to apply for BC-Naturalisation.While reading FAQ's I came under the absence section. Wanted to understand is there any limit on no of days absence from UK in the past 5ys?if so what is the limit?Also is there any limit on no ...
Thanks vinny for directing me to the other thread discussing same. but from the BRP error team below was the response posted in the thread. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thank you for your email regarding a possible error with ...
this is interesting.Do you know the lawyers are advising this only for those dependants whose main applicant got ILR based on Tier-2 route or Tier-1 route or both?Seniors/Moderators any advise if any such rule exists?
Great so once ILR done then it is done forever. Thats a big relief. Hopefully at-least no more hefty visa fees, no more document preparation and sleepless nights before PEO appointments checking the documents n-times.
say if we are not planning to go for passport and not applying for citizenship in that case what happens after dec2024?should we re-apply based on the rules in place during 2024 for ILR again to get it renewed or will it automatically renewed for another 10yrs as ILR assumption is no expiry date?
it is same with me the BRP card arrived recently and it shows valid till Dec 2024 as I have applied in march so the ILR is only for 8yr 8months? Why are they not giving it for 10yrs?moderators / seniors any advise pls?
are you on Tier-1 General route?if your intial entry is 2010 so you have already completed 5yrs?what was the proof you have submitted for english during your extension?
yes that is my understanding but they cancelled other trainings stating that it might cause problem to her visa as those trainings are funded by UK gov so that is where I am confused.So it seems should not be a problem. Just to be on safe side is there any way we can check if any entry is gone again...
thanks moderator I was concerned for the reason they often request NI number and they stress only if she has NI number then she can attend the training and even though we gave the copy of the visa which states 'no course to public funds' only recently they noticed and said that now she is not eligib...
I hope that you have already got your ILR dependant approved now? have you faced any problem? any additional documents submitted for the public funds query here?
I am in the process of applying ILR for my dependants (spouse and kids). Just wanted to understand how to check if my spouse has used any public funds as this is against Tier-1/ILR policy. My spouse has NI number and looking for job but have not got a job yet. So will it create any problems as even ...
First would like to thank this forum for guiding me to take right decision at the right time. I had to travel to outside of UK for almost 6 months for my kids treatment and have returned to UK and continued working and got my ILR now. Details below. Total number of yrs in UK = 6yrs (done 2 extension...
hi this forum had helped on my all extensions and now obtained ILR. I have booked appointment in feb and got my ILR yesterday and have paid old PEO fees (1900) and used used old form (2015). when contacted UKBA contact centre they advised to use the old form but still there was a bit of confusion du...
so it seems I can use my degree taught in english certificate which i got from my university for my bachelors degree in engineering (4yrs) can be used here eventhough if they do not accept IELTS expired certificate anymore. Wanted to double check and confirm eventhough i have used IELTS certificate ...
how about UK NARIC certificate does it has any validity. I have done UK NARIC validation for my degree while applying for first time and also have got my degree taught in english from my university as well can I use these now instead of IELTS expired certificate for my ILR application in 2016.
I am in the same situation. I have applied for Tier-1 General in 2009 and travelled to UK in Jan2010. I have done 2 extensions after that for which all I have used my IELTS which I have passed in 2009. Now I am eligible to apply for ILR so if I want to apply for ILR in Jan2016 do I need to pass an e...
hi gshax it is great relief to know i am in the same boat. I have exactly 180 days absence in one visit for treatment and total of 300 days absence in 5yrs and i am also planning to split in 2 yrs. can you suggest if you split your 11 months into 51/2 months in 2yrs because i am planning to split in...
stanza thanks for your response. I understand now it's the backward order but still My query here is not about ILR eligible date it's about waiting till 2016 in order to split the 180 days absence into 2 calendar yrs. Technically I am eligible to apply this month but I am waiting for safer side to t...
