Hey - I have another query regarding Section 6 - Biometric enrollment

Surely, from 6.1 to 6.16 the form is asking about the applicant, right? i.e. my 12 week old baby - in whose case it should be "NA"?

Thanks

Hi, Referees I used are 1. Health Visitor - Usually they will do it for free and wont refuse. As they are the ones who knows the baby well. Else you can ask your midwife who does the checks for you and the baby. 2. Any of your British friend , neighbor etc Photograph - we took in the Snappy Snaps. ...

Hi all - thanks for helping out with my queries I was granted ILR a week ago - I have a 12 week baby, born in the UK who can now be Registered via MN1 form - Section 1 (3) Having read the guidance notes and having gone through the form itself, I cannot help but wonder the requirements around Referee...

Her visa ends Oct 2015

But I would've applied and received ILR so how will she be able to extend her Tier 1 dependent when the main applicant himself doesn't hold a Tier 1 visa anymore?

I think this is going to be hit financially too

Thanks

Please see the relevant section in the link below : http://www.immigrationboards.com/immigration-for-family-members/changes-to-the-family-immigration-rules-who-they-affect-t105679.html In particular point 8. No it was not, she would have been better off switching much earlier or staying on Tier 1. ...

As you are married and your wife entered uk before the new rules came into existence in 2012, you should both be able to apply for ILR . This is not correct information. The wife was on her own Tier 1 visa as a main applicant not as a dependent. Her qualifying period starts when she switched to Tie...

As you are married and your wife entered uk before the new rules came into existence in 2012, you should both be able to apply for ILR . Thanks Chase! I wish this is the case - as it just seems correct. I'll be contacting UKBA and also speak to a Solicitor to make absolutely sure. I'll update this ...

Is there absolutely no possibility that she can apply for ILR along with me? *sigh*

can't get rid of the paperwork ..

Tier1G extensions are closing but not Tier1G dependents. And at the time of her ILR, she would apply for ILR and then immediately for citizenship without waiting for 1 year (provided if you hold the citizenship as well). Btw, when you two are married and started living together? Thanks - we got mar...

Also, I read that Tier 1 extentions are being closed from April 2015

What are our options if she can't apply for a Tier1 Dependent extention in time?

Thanks

Thanks Suresh

When she applies for ILR in 2018, I'll probably be a British citizen - would that change anything?
i.e. would she be able to directly for Citizenship?
or she would need to apply for ILR, wait a year and then apply for citizenship?

Thanks again

Hi all - appreciate if you can help with my wife's peculiar case My wife came to UK in March 2011 but had her own Tier 1 General visa then (valid until March 2013) In Feb 2013, we switched her status to Tier 1 (Dependent) Now, I am eligible for ILR in June 2015 (since I came to UK in July 2010) - bu...

AFAIK (and have experienced) you are suppose to submit copies of ALL pages of your passport, even the blank ones.

Hi, My wife has applied for Tier 1 dependant visa from home country. In the application, I have provided my Front and Back pages and previous Tier 1 visa's self attested copies.

Hi,

I was awarded more points in Past earnings section than I had claimed by the case worker.

When I apply for ILR, will this be a problem?

Do I have to match the number of points I was awarded during extention of Tier 1 visa?

Thanks!

Thanks guys!

See paragraph 319C h) of the immigration rules. Switching in country is not possible. Note your wife would need to complete 5 years as your dependent in order to qualify for ilr. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyandlaw/immigrationlaw/immigrationrules/part8/familymembersoftier1migrants/ Thank...

Hi All,

My wife is in the UK on her own Tier-1 General visa.

Is it possible for her to switch on to my visa as a Tier-1 Dependent without going back to our home country?
