I have a family in uk and been travelling here on visitor visa's before i got work permit. The reason i renewed my visitor visa was on the fact that i was not allowed to travel to UK if there is no work assignment. ( as i was working in India and UK on different projects).

My only concern is the new Dependent rules placed from 2012 onwards. which states that people on dependent visa after jan 2012 need to stay in uk for 5 years in order to get ilr. I hope this doest apply for the child born in uk

Hi All

I have a small doubt on my ILR eligibility which is why i dont want to take a risk of paying extra to UK immigration.

Is it possible for me to apply for ILR first and once i get mine, apply for my dependent as a seperate application.
