Hi All, This is with reference to British citizenship rules. My husband is on ILR and will qualify for BC in February 2012. I have been on Tier 1 for 3 years and then jumped as a dependent on his visa after his ILR. My 2 year qualifying period will get over in March 2013. To complicate the situation...

Congratulations! Just one quick question: did your husband have unpaid holidays? Did caseworker ask the reason for his absence of over 90 days? Hi, My husband took 60 days of unpaid holidays with the previous employer, thats the time this trip was taken, we had taken permission for the employer at ...
You missed your chance, despite being suggested accurately earlier! :( There is no requirement for dependant of WP migrant to complete 2 years stay in the UK to be eligible for settlement ( 196D ). All you needed was to re-enter UK as a WP dependant (by applyng for EC from home country)! Would have...
Let me rephrase: If your husband was on a WP (not Tier 2) on the date of settlement application and you entered UK as his dependant, then you were eligible for settlement at the same time as him even if you had not yet completed 2 years stay in the UK on the date of application. In such case, had y...
Congratulations..Are you on 5 year worlpermit with the same company? they didn't ask for any P60's?

I do not think you require...
My husbands status: was on workpermit for 5 years with 2 diffrent companies. Then why did you not include yourself in the ILR application as his dependant? Or did you mean to say that he was on WP earlier but now on Tier 2 (which requires dependants to be in UK for 2 years to be eligible for ILR)? ...
Dear All, First of all many thanks for all the help, suggesstions and very informative posts! It helped us to get prepared for the big day!!

HI All, I am qualifying for my ILR in FEB 2010. My wife came to this country on a TIER1 general visa, 3 years back. We thought it was a good idea at that time! Since we can show proof that she has been in this country for 3 years and is married to me, is t possible for her to be included in my appli...
