The new employer must have a sponsor licence for you to be able to work for them.

1) whether I might face problems while returning from India given that visa will be expiring soon.

You can start it at any poi...

Do you think providing expired passport may cause a delay in making a decision on my citizenship application?

No!

Children born abroad are expected to have ILR before they can apply for citizenship.

Presumably they were born before you became British?

You should have applied for the dependent visa before your visa expired, even if your partners visa was still pending.

Your application would simply have be put on hold until partner visa decision made, but you have would have had legal stay under section 3c.

When did your last visa expire?

Hi, the biometrics was taken on sat, just realised I didn't submit any bank statements of ours, will this be any issue, documents I submitted were Passports current and old biometrics , travel stamps, English test, few old bills, marriage certificate, husbands naturalisation n passport, children's ...

found out you don't do that unless she stayed over 180 days which she hasn't.

There is no 180 day absence issue or limit for spouse visa holders. It applies to a completely different visa category with different rules.

1. No. If you get ilr, dependents apply for a 3 year extension. There is no lesser time than 3 years, this is as stated in the immigration rules.

2. Yes, you have to pay ihs for all three for 3 years.

What date was their initial visa issued/granted?

One of the questions does ask:

"How long have you lived in the UK?"

She lived here 5 years and 1 month but back in 2022, she's been abroad to see her faily for 2 months. Should I subtract 5 years, 1 month to 4 years and 10 months?

No!

The call centre is outsourced to a third party agency. You are not talking to ukvi staff at all. The advice you get also depends on what and how exactly you asked and if your query has been understood. Your only option for them now if FLR fp I think which will be a new 5 or 10 year route to ilr. A B...

So their visas expired last year and you haven't done anything to sort their visa status out??

They cannot apply for ILR if they do not have a valid visa.

A BRP replacement is NOT the same thing as a visa extension and a visa extension is inly relevant if they hold a valid visa to extend.

1. No. Admin review is for when an applicant believes ukvi made a mistake. They clearly have not if the applicant did the wrong test. You also cannot submit new evidence in admin review, they only review the application and documents submitted that the refusal was based on. 2. If the visa has been r...

Many thanks CR001 for your response "If they switch to your GTV Dependent, at any point, their visas will be valid till your current expiry date. A further extension will also be for 3 years, which would still leave them short for ILR". But I read extension can be done for 1, 2, 3, 4 or 5...

I'm trying to decide whether it's worth hiring a solicitor to handle the application process or if it's manageable enough to do it myself. For those who have been through this process, do you recommend using a solicitor, or is it straightforward enough to handle on our own? If it's feasible to do i...

Topics Merged!! It is not necessary to start a new topic with every question!! Keep all your questions in one topic/thread.

1. Is this considered as overstaying in the UK for my son? (Without a valid visa) Yes, once his visa expires, he is an overstayer. This doesn't affect his citizenship application though. 2. Can we avail any NHS services for my son during this period? Yes, but it will cost you 150% of the cost. No f...

And your wife can also apply, no need to wait 12 months if you are British, provided she meets the 3 year residence requirements.

1. Yes. You are applying to register her as British, required before a passport can be applied for.

2. Form mn1 and it is an application under discretion, option "Other".

3. Google Form MN1, it is an online form.

When do both visas expire? So do I need to apply for my husband's extension after my ILR application or simultaneously? or I can apply for an extension earlier (Which may not be possible as my visa expires in September) Depends when his visa expires. Pointless applying before you get ILR as he will ...

Considering the situation now, how do I go about their application as dependents by October 2025, knowing that their visa will terminate when mine expires, totalling 1 year 7 months? Do you mean I will after that apply for 3 year extension and then again another 3 years making a total of 7 years 7 ...
