Hi CR001, I am kind of taking a chance with my ILR and if I get it successfully I am going to apply for my daughter and if I am unsuccessful then I wouldn't be able to apply it anyway. I am minimizing the risk I am taking at first shot. If I lose my application I will lose a lot on visa fees. Regard...

Hi lawabidingimmigrant, I was also trying to get my NI statements and the letter I received also mentions I need to make a payment of some amount in order to be eligible for state pension. Not sure whether this will affect ILR yet. Have you found out any more information on it? haiksuresh/argus7, Do...

Hi,

Just you need the absence letter from the employer and your wife doesn't need it. I am assuming you are currently in Tier 1 or Tier 2 visa category.

You can call up customer service and request for a physical copy of statements. They will send it to your home address or local branch of your choice.

Hi, I think you can mention the actual entry date as your date of entry but mention the 90 day visa start buffer in your covering letter. It shouldn't be a problem. http://www.immigrationboards.com/indefinite-leave-to-remain/ilr-with-visa-less-than-5-years-home-office-clarification-t180198.html All ...

Hi Ravi, If I understand correctly this is what you can do. get both of your ILR. Register your children using MN1 form and then apply for british passport later. For the first child you can return the indian passport once you applied your british passport. There is no requirement to apply for india...

Hi,

Just do what madnan24 have mentioned. I also had my name spelled wrongly in my first pay slip, I basically got a letter from HR saying that the name was spelled wrongly in that particular payslip. I did this for Tier 1 General renewal, shouldn't be any different for ILR.

Cheers,

you are eligible to apply for ILR before your Tier 1 expiry, since you have entered within first 90 days of getting entry clearance. I hope you didn't cross more than 180 days in that first year. Experts can confirm my understanding.

Congrats on your ILR. Just trying to see whether you applied only for yourself & wife? Since you mentioned baby birth certificate is she born in UK and planning to apply direct citizenship?

Thanks,
-Senthil

I am also of the same opinion but trying to find whether anybody contradicts it or any rule which says we can claim/not claim on visa holders.

Thanks,

Congrats on your ILR. Just a quick question on which PEO and did you submit any letters regarding your stay out of UK for past 5 years?

Thanks,
-Senthil

Congrats on your ILR. Can you please share which PEO you attended? if you can outline what all documents you have submitted that would be great.

Hi rudolfmelissa0821,

I was curious to find this information as well, if one parent is ILR and the depedant and the child are still on Tier 1 visa (no access to public funds) can the person who holds ILR can they claim child benefit?

Thanks,

Hi Samira,

Hi tcsprak, I am pretty much in similar situation like yours there is a gap between their visa expired and when we applied. I have about 50 days gap. Even I am trying to find whether I can get them in compassionate reasons or something saying they were there for delivery of my daughter. I have found...

congrats BlingUK on your ILR. which PEO centre you submitted your application?

Thanks,
-Senthil

Thanks Vinny. Child is born outside UK and applied for entry clearance after 9th July 2012. so I believe she also have to spend 5 years in UK before ILR.

Thanks Vinny. Its bit clearer now. She will get further 3 years on Tier 1 dependant and can apply for ILR like me.

I believe it is the same for child as well.

Congrats on your ILR.

Can I ask which PEO centre? Also did you submit the letter from your employers for the dates out of country? Just yourself or with dependants?

Thanks,
-Senthil

Thanks Malik44. This is what baffles me, Is it not the Tier 1 renewal closed after April 2015? so it will be Tier 1 dependant visa renewal is still applicable? I am no longer a Tier 1 visa holder, so how long the Tier 1 dependant visa will be valid for my wife? on what basis they will give the expir...
