I have been travelling to UK often - atleast 2-3 times a year. So, my ILR status seems to be intact. Last time I was in UK was a month back. But I do understand that there is a 10 year limit on this kind of coming and going(?) And I need to return back to complete my process? You are suggesting that...
I have a question regarding a tricky ILR case. I recieved ILR in 2012 just before the birth of our first son. My wife was still on a Tier1/HSMP dependent visa. My son was thus born a UK Citizen. However, Immediately after that we had to move abroad temporarily for family/economic reasons and what wa...
Hi: A while back I posted some queries regarding my ILR and the requirements to convert my wife's PBS dependent visa to FLR. Today we had an appointment at Liverpool to go through that process. There was some glitch with her english language qualification (i.e. her qualification was not recognised f...
Note that the maintenance requirements are the same, whether applying from inside ( 284(viii) ) or outside ( 281(v) ) the UK. For maintenance-you need to show that after rent and council tax are deducted from your income, that you have at least the amount that a family of your size your receive on ...
Hi All: Thanks for this wonderfully helpful forum. I received my ILR last month (21st Feb). My wife's still on PBS Dependent Visa. I didnt know that she had to be moved to FLR (M) and recently came to know. A lawyer also told me that since my visa has changed and hers has become invalid, she loses ...
Hi There: I had my visa recently converted to ILR. My wife is still on the PBS Tier 1 visa so needs to move to FLR(M) for a few months before she can apply for ILR. We're both inside the UK right now but plan to travel abroad for a month or so. I wanted to find out about the Maintenance Requirement...

[quote="vinny"][quote="AO"]my ILR letter said that ILR would remain valid for upto 10 years in case of absences from the country.However: a) If I leave the country for upto 2 years, I don't need entry clearance, b) if I leave for more than 2 years, I need an entry clearance befor...
Among the requirements for naturalisation are: * Less than 450 days of absence in the last 5 years before applying. * Less than 90 days of absence in the last year before applying. Please note that for naturalisation, there is no difference between work related absences and private ones. All counts...
applying from abroad is not an option because in order to accumulate the two years between the time spent as a PBS dependent and spouse of a settled person she needs to obtain an extension of stay and not entry clearance as your spouse. See para 287 a i d http://www.ukba.homeoffice.gov.uk/policyand...
Hi There: My Tier1 General was converted to the ILR 3 weeks ago. I understand my wife, who was a PBS dependent, now needs to change to FLR(M). We were planning to go out of the country in early April (all arrangements made) for a couple of months and I understand that she won't be able be able to re...
Hi: I recently got my ILR approved. My case is a bit tricky because of significant absences from the UK. I lead the international division of my company and have to spend 10-15 days a month on international trips. However, I have letters from my company to support that. Anyways, the case worker, ver...

There is not a 28 day requirement. I can't give you a ref to a rule that doesn't exist! The link you have posted doesn't talk about a 28 day requirement either. The ukba advise people to apply at least 28 days before expiry of leave but this is not a requirement and is not relevant to your wife's s...
We were planning to go abroad next month for a month or so, this is going to jeopardize that trip. But maybe I'll be able to save grace if I move quickly... Her current dependant leave ceases to be valid for travel , as entry is subject to 321A . Thanks, Vinnie. So... What you're saying is that 28-...

There is nothing in the law that says she needs to apply within 28 days. Best to apply sooner rather than later though and she shouldn't travel on her current visa. The lawyer you spoke to is wrong. Her time as a tier 1 dependent is not lost at all. It will count towards her two years for ilr but s...
