Many retuned from India and red list countries, even flying via other countries. UKVI is fully aware of non direct routes that were available She has a very weak argument for exceeding the 180 days single absence limit for long residence ilr. She is more than double over the permitted limit. Yes, m...
I am a Global Talent Visa holder currently in the UK, and we are expecting a baby (due early next year) who will be born in the UK . We are planning such that my wife shall travel with the baby to our country of origin, India, departing the UK approximately 2 months after birth & after completin...
Will the 150% NHS cost be billed directly to them? They can't afford to pay, and will probably have to default on their payment. and would like them to receive similar treatment as I currently have in the UK, just in case they need hospitalisation. They can receive that treatment, but they will hav...
My GTV visa is valid until Sep 04, 2023 . I am planning to switch my wife into the GTV dependent visa status from within the UK. However, I'd like to intentionally opt for (or request/choose) a lower validity period (than my GTV expiry date of 04 Sep 2023) for her GTV dependent visa/BRP. is this pos...
Is the cost of NHS treatment standardised and published somewhere officially? Will the 150% NHS cost be billed directly to them? They can't afford to pay, and will probably have to default on their payment. Be careful. Somebody on here posted they were having to pay their visiting father's NHS debt...
She has no quick route to ilr other than what has already been explained in your other gtv dependent topic. I think the 10-year Long Residence route in Sep 2023 might be viable if Home Office recognises the travel related difficulties and the absence can be justified citing the global pandemic and ...
There were flights and repatriations flights, which you stated in another topic she chose not to avail of. She made a conscious choice not to return. India suspended all international flights until late July 2020 and started flying rescue missions. My wife didn't want to use them due to the unknown...
Correct. She applies for a gtv dependent extension before her gtv dependent visa expires. Thank you. How many weeks/months before her current GTV expires can she apply for an extension? It will be a 3 year extension if you have ilr. Sigh. That will be a huge problem. A 3-year extension if I have IL...
So, as per the official wording, if my wife gets a GTV dependent visa now, she will be able to count the time spent on a PBS Tier 4 student visa towards the 5 years for her ILR, right? My point is that, it doesn't specifically exclude time spent on a Tier 4 student visa! No, you are misunderstandin...
Unlikely. The absence requirement is quite strict and discretion is rarely exercised. You may choose to try but it is up to UKVI to decide to whether exercise discretion or not. Even if means no international flights were operating due to a global pandemic? How could she have flown back with flight...
They are unlikely to be granted a 2 year visitor visa having only visited the UK once 5 years ago. They need a proven track record before getting a longer term visa. There is no visitor visa option that permits free NHS use. If they use the NHS and default on their payments, they will likely be ref...
I am considering applying a GTV dependent visa for my wife. My GTV BRP expires on 04 Sep 2023 , and therefore I guess that her dependent GTV intial BRP shall also be issued to expire on that same date . Now, the interesting situation. I intend to make a super priority ILR application in August 2022 ...
Are you aware that a 2-year visitor visa doesn't allow your parents to stay in the UK for more time in a rolling 12 month period than they ahttps://www.gov.uk/government/publications/how-the-nhs-charges-overseas-visitors-for-nhs-hospital-care/how-the-nhs-charges-overseas-visitors-for-nhs-hospital-c...
Have your parents visited the UK previously?? Yes. They have visited the UK for 5.5 months from April 2016 through September 2016 on a standard short-term visitor visa. That's why I thought of applying 2-year visitor visa for them now. No. IHS is NOT payable for ANY visitor visa. No, they are NOT e...
I live in the UK on a global talent visa. For my parents, I am considering asking them to apply for a 2-year long-term Standard Visitor Visa. According to the official UKVI gov.uk page here: https://www.gov.uk/standard-visitor-visa , it says that: "You can apply for a long-term Standard Visitor...
My spouse becomes eligible for ILR under the 10-year Long residence category in September 2024. However, there has been a recent big break in the natural continuous residence due to personal & pandemic reasons, as explained below. She departed UK on 05 Feb 2020 to home country, India, to spend t...

Thank you for all the answers to the individual questions that I had asked in my original post. Much appreciate your efforts. Whichever way she chooses to go,she will need 5 years residence in a single visa category before she can apply for ilr. Tier 4 student visa does NOT count towards ilr based i...
I am a Global Talent Visa holder and I have a straightforward case when I make my ILR application next year (August 2022). I wish to draw upon the collective knowledge & experience of this community to seek your opinions regarding the fastest route to getting ILR status for my spouse . Here is h...
No. It is not misleading. One of the requirements for the ILR application is to prove that you have earned money linked to your expert field at some point during your last grant of leave. Quoting relevant UKVI criterion from your post, "You MUST earn money in the UK as a result of your employme...
I am currently in the UK on a Tier 1 visa. I just wish to know if the UK Government's 'help to buy: equity loan' scheme (https://www.ownyourhome.gov.uk/scheme/help-to-buy-2021-2023/) is classified as public funds/benefits? I am asking this because, next summer, I shall be eligible for (and intend to...
Ok. The https://www.gov.uk/global-talent-researcher-academic/academic-or-researcher pathway is pretty hard since the academic position that you will hold need to have a strong leadership component built into the job requirements. It says: Your job offer will need to involve either: directing or lea...
Hello there, I've T1 - Exceptional Talent visa until June 2023. Due to change in rules about mandatory stay period (from 5 years to 3 years), I became eligible to apply for ILR in Dec 2020 and have already submitted my ILR application. My wife is dependent on me and she will complete her 5 years of...
You can't apply for both at the same time as far as I am aware. https://www.gov.uk/global-talent Before you apply for a visa You can only apply for a Global Talent visa once you have successfully applied for an endorsement to prove that you are a leader or potential leader. If you apply for the vis...
