I am currently in the UK with a Tier 1 visa and my wife joined me in the UK as a Tier 1 dependant last year. However I am now applying for Indefinite leave to Remain (ILR) and realised the fact that after I get my ILR visa, I need to apply to switch my wife's visa status to being the dependant of a ...

Thanks for your links.

Can ESOL entry 1 test be taken without registering for the course? I am still not clear which course should we select for easy, quick (and relatively cheap) to get the certificated needed.

Thanks

Hi Guys I am on Tier 1 and my wife is on Tier 1 dependent. I am applying for ILR but my wife is the UK for only 1 year so I cant apply for her ILR with me. So I need to apply for her as dependant of settled person within 28 days which requires English Language requirement. Do anyone know from the li...

I am still not convinced that a switching is required because section 7.13 in HC 863 clearly says there is not need to apply using FLR(M). Thanks Sadly I have found a reponse where it says dependant visa need to be changed using flr (M) ------------------------------------------------- email ------...

I am still not convinced that a switching is required because section 7.13 in HC 863 clearly says there is not need to apply using FLR(M). I have sent an email to Mr Brown and it bounced back to me. So now sent an email to UKba public enquire email and waiting for their response. Did anyone find any...

Guys Thanks so much for your replies but still I want to know the timelines of someone who applied within 28 days before 10 year completion and got ILR. I did search on ILR (10 Years) processing time thread but didnt find any entry. Asked the same request there considered irrelevant by moderator (ma...

You cannot apply 28 days before and must complete the full 10 years before you can apply. Ifyou apply before you will lose the fee and get a rejection. What's the hurry anyway? You waited so long and now can't wait another 28 days. rajjaji I can apply exactly on 28 days before completing 10 years r...

Hi I am approaching to my lawful 10 years residency to apply for ILR. On the form it says I can apply not before 28 days of 10 years stay. Has anyone applied for example 20 days before 10 years completion and the application was successful? In that case how long did it take to receive your ILR? Thanks

Hi I got ILR under 10 years rule. But not my wife. I have one baby who born in UK before my ILR. Can I apply for my baby using MN1 form to get certificate of british registration? Or both parents should have ILR? Please reply it. Thanks. You can and in the form your wife will have to sign that she ...

Sorry I just dug deep and found Section 1(3) on the same guidelines: A person born in the United Kingdom after commencement who is not a British citizen by virtue of subsection (1) [F7, (1A)] or (2) shall be entitled to be registered as a British citizen if, while he is a minor— (a)his father or m...

Hello I am about to apply for ILR under 10 years residency in Sept this year. My wife is currently under dependant visa. Our baby born in early this year. We havent applied any visa for the baby as we are not going outside the UK. Now after I get ILR can I apply for my baby for British citizen strai...

Did you apply for your child's ILR and wife's ILR in one post? I am in the same situation and thought I need to get my ILR first then apply for my baby's ILR. But certainly in your way it sould speed up the process. And one more question, did your wife spend two years in the UK before applying for h...

Gre8. Thanks

adding one more question, if the spouse visa is less than 2 years residence requirements than she will be applying for FLR(M). Would the previous stay count (as Tier 1 dependent) towards 2 years residency requirements when she will be applying for ILR after changing her visa to FLR(M)?

Many thanks

So my question is if I been given ILR on Sept this year, does my wife need to change her visa using FLR (M)? And when she...
