I thought in your other post you said your were already married and your wife has started divorce proceedings and that she is currently on a 2 year spouse visa?? http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewtopic.php?t=121587 You cannot apply for a visa for another person if you are still married and have s...

November 2011 to ILR being granted in January 2012 is not really a substantial delay I my opinion. If your ILR was granted and is dated as 26th January 2012, you can apply for naturalisation exactly 12 months after this on 26 January 2013, there is no option of applying 'within 28 days' for naturali...

Yes, she can apply independently if she meets the relevant residence and absence requirements. The only benefit of a joint application would be a slightly reduced fee but for naturalisation there is no main and dependent category, each person has to complete their own AN form and meet the requiremen...

He is not tied to his wife even with ILR. The main + dependent is no longer an issue. He can apply for naturalisation in two ways : 5 years legal residence - absence max of 450 days and max 90 days in last 12 months 3 years legal residence as spouse of BC - absence max of 270 days and max 90 days in...

You should be fine as you are within the limits.

You're welcome, anytime.

Make sure you fill in the latest SET(O) form :

Maybe best would be to phone UKBA on Thursday and ask them if you can apply for PBS dependent with a FLR(M) appointment. I am not sure if you can or not unless a guru can answer that question for you.

Did you get ILR based on Tier 2?

You are welcome and I am a lady not a sir lol

I am not sure if you can use the same appointment, best would be to phone the UKBA or try and get another appointment nearer to the visa expiry or do a postal application to extend.

So from what I can understand in the link provided, she is pre 9th July rules and can apply to extend her PBS visa and once she has been resident for 2 years, she can apply for ILR.

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/visas-immigration/partners-families/citizens-settled/spouse-cp/can-you-apply/ What was the start date of her visa and when does her visa expire? In the link above, which is the 'Can You Apply' it says : You cannot apply in a partner category if you: are the spouse o...

No, LIUK is a requirement for ILR and is not an English test certificate :

What is your current visa? And your spouse?

Yes, once you have got ILR, you can apply immediately for naturalisation as spouse of BC as long as you meet the residence requirements of 3 years.

Child benefit will have no effect on your future BC application. But please remember that YOU must apply because you have ILR and it must be paid to you. Your wife must not apply because she is not entitled to benefits. Child benefit is paid directly into your bank account and you can choose to have...

1.33 You write where your wife was born - town and country

1.34 You write nationality - British and the relevant details which will be on her certificate when she receives it at the cereomy - because you are applying for naturalisation AFTER her ceremony.

You can apply once she has her certificate of naturalisation which she will get at the ceremony.

You apply using form AN, link below :

http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/briti ... alisation/

Because she has been approved for citizenship and is now a BC, you can apply as spouse of BC.

Please can you keep your quetions in one topic as they are related/almost identical.

You can apply now as you have been resident for 3 years and are married to a BC.

If the baby is born in the UK, once you have got your ILR, you can apply to register baby as british, you won't have to apply ILR for the baby. If baby is born in India, baby will need Tier 1 dependent visa and can apply for ILR at the same time as you. Child benefits is a payment which is currently...

You cannot claim any benefits until you have successfully applied for ILR. Once you have ILR, the likelihood is that you might only be able to claim child benefit. On a salary of £60k, there is nothing else you will qualify for once you get ILR. Your employer might have a child care voucher scheme, ...
