HI CR/CULLINAN / EXPERTS. I am applying for ILR of my wife. Following is her history. My question is, do I need to declare all the absences of my wife from UK in her ILR application. First Visa issued 29/02/2016. She came to the country on 18/03/2016. Extension with me in 2017 October Second Extensi...

Answer No to this as per my knowledge

Thanks Her last/current visa was issues as per BRP on 18/10/2019. For background, First Visa issued 29/02/2016. She came to the country on 18/03/2016. Extension with me in 2017 October Second Extension 2019 October. She was absent from the UK between 18 Dec 2017 - 22 Jul 2018 Does that affect ILR ?

I guess you were too quick to reply :) Thanks and I think just these two more questions. 1. Any premium service available at the moment for ILR applicants ? 2. She spent about 6 months and 20 away from home in 2018. does it affect her ILR ? Any no of days policy applicable on her for her ILR ? Thank...

Hi Cullinan. So I did a little research and saw other threads by other users in regards to public funds query and its clear now. However please add if there is anything you would like to. Following questions now are left that I would request your expertise in 1. For English, she has a valid IELTS fo...

Also, I am filling Set(O) form for wifes ILR. Is that the correct app form ? While in application form, I saw a question in finance tab as below "Do you or anyone else who is part of this application receive any public funds? (Required) Include details for your partner or child if you have one....

Well, isnt that for Claiming Beneifts. I am talking about the para that is on main page of ILR application. See below. https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/you-re-the-family-member-or-partner-of-someone-who-has-settled-in-the-uk/on-a-work-visa/a-tier-1-tier-2-or-tier-5-visa Here there is a statemen...

Hi CR Thanks. Missed this earlier thread indeed. I was reading thru application website of UK Home Office, it says following. When you apply for settlement, you and your partner must: be living together in your own accommodation not be using public funds As an ILR holder, i did receive UC. Had earli...

Dear Moderators

I am currently on ILR and have applied for my Naturalisation.

My wife was issued a Tier 1 Ent Dependent visa on 29/02/2016 and came to the country on 18/03/2016.

When earliest is she eligible to apply for ILR. ? I assume 28 days before Visa date i.e 01/02/2021. Correct ?

Thanks

Dear Experts. I applied for my naturalisation on 07-Sep-2020 and did ID check on IDV App on 01 October. My case is in process since then. I am going to change my residential address in next 25 days. How do I inform Home Office to update my address on the file so I dont miss any post ? Or any email I...

Hi Seagul

Thank you for your help. Its very helpful.

He used this for his visa Extension. is he eligible to use this now as well ?

Thanks

Indeed 2.5 and 2.5.

Also, does he need to prove his English again ? As in take the english test again ?

He did SELT exam last time he did the application.

Thanks

He has completed 5 Years married to a British Partner. He had 3 years visa then another extension of 2 years.

So I am asusming we will fill in SET M and option - Partner of a person present and settled in the UK - 5-year route. Correct. ?

Thanks

Hi Experts. Asking this for my brother. He is currently on Spouse visa which expires this month. 1. Does he have to fill in Set LR or Set M online. ? 2. I filled in Set LR and somehow it doesn't ask for Employment details which was strange. Am I filling in the right form ? If not can someone send me...

Thank you Cullinan. I will definitely follow the advice for BRP.

HI Cullinan Thank you for your quick response. It was quite helplful. Yes I understand. Actually what confused me was that the online form would ask me my childs grand parents details as I only have ILR at the moment and she was born while I was on ILR. Passport online application form prompted &quo...

Dear Experts/Moderators Need your expert opinion on a matter relating to Passport for my Daughter. I currently have ILR and have applied for my naturalisation already. Meanwhile I would like to apply British passport for my newborn daughter. I have certain questions. 1. Shall I wait to receive my na...

Thank you CR Also, there is a question Do you have a previous visa, entry clearance or leave to remain where you had to prove your knowledge of English? I provided my UK English degree last times (T1 Extension and ILR) - SHould i say Yes ? If yes then should I provide my ''ILR application number'' i...

Dear Respected experts I am applying for my Naturalisation online. I have a few questions. In Residence requirements section, what has to be the answer ? 1. Are there any reasons why you cannot meet the requirements to become a British citizen (for example, you have had too many absences from the UK...

I think I am in the same boat as yours 1. My first child has British Passport however she was born when I had tier 1 so I have her Citizenship Certificate as proof therefore I am fine with that. 2. For my newborn (born while I have ILR), I can apply her British Passport however I have to retain my I...

Thanks. Okay, so if I apply for my childs Brtish Passport now, and then apply for my naturalisation 1. Will I be needed to submit my original ILR BRP as part of application process ? 2. If not, then that means I will have my ILR BRP with me all this time. Once I receive my naturalisation and get don...

Dear Alterhase/Cullinan Thank you for such quick reply and its because of you guys that this forum is the only Go To place for respectable advice. So to summarise, I can just simply apply for my childs British Passport as soon we are ready and no need for MN1 as I already have ILR. Also, do you reco...

Hi Moderators/Experts I am currently on ILR and have spent 1 year on it and ready to apply for citizenship. We are expecting a child now and have a few questions 1. Will I have to apply for my newborns British Passport directly or have to register MN1 ? 2. If i have to apply for MN1 - can I apply an...

Thank you CR001

So following is enough for her ILR application ?

1. Passports
2. Life in UK Test
3. English Language Proof,
4. Two years evidence of cohabitation in both names
5. My bank Statements for 12 months
6. Marriage Certificate
7. Wifes BRP
8. Maintenance
9. IHS

So, it will anyway have to be a joint application as UC application doesnt allow single application for married people ?

Thanks
