Hi senior members, based on my situation what is the earliest date I can apply for ILR.

I am on T1 General, below is my visa history:

Visa granted: 16-Oct-2008
Entered first in UK: 3-Dec-2008
Extension granted: 23-Nov-2012
Visa expiry: 23-Nov-2013

Please advice, many thanks.

The date change based on when extension is granted. It doesn't have any affect when initial visa was granted.

I know that my wife need to apply for FLR before ILR. Can she apply FLR with my ILR application? I believe, I should apply a day visa and then my wife can straight away apply for FLR.

You got it mate. Can we both apply at the same time? What I understand by reading ILR faqs, my wife have to apply after my visa is renewed.

Looking forward for an advice

No need of solicitor if case is straight forward.

Dependant is child or partner?

If main applicant meet the requirements of maintenance funds then it should be good enough.

Thanks, I will do that.

Lucapooka, thanks for the quick reply.

I send my bank statement for the proof of maintenance funds. It doesn't make any sense to me as well sending 2 original bank statements.

My wife is planning to apply for dependant visa, she called Gerrys Karachi office and they asked her to submit 2 original bank statement of main applicant instead of 1 original statement and copy. Border agency in Pakistan doesn't mention any of those requirements. http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/...

I need those letters too. Please share them if you have.

Many thanks
