Hi, We are planning to apply for ILR (5 year route, PBS Dependent, Set (0) Form). As my spouse is away from UK for more than a year (went to India) in the past 2 years, is it still ok to show 2 years Cohabitation docs or do we need to show more years ? Also can we show any Cohabitation docs from Ind...

Hi Kaydee,

Congratulations, we are also having more absences and planning for discertion. Have you gone through any solicitor ? Do you need to show any proofs for UK being to be your future home.

Thanks,
Sri.

Hi CROO1, My bad we are already 4 days extra to those 480 days limit, so that puts us in square one again. Based on your analysis on this forum, have you seen anyone successful with BC application with absences exceeding either 270 days (3 year route) or 450 days (5 year route) with discretion ? Tha...

I thought Section 6(1) is for Tier 1 Main applicants (ILR + 1 yr) There are more routes to ILR and BC than Tier 1. Section 6(1) is for ALL routes based on 5 years residence. and section 6(2) for Spouse of BC It is yes, but she can state 6(1) 5 years in the form. So even I need to go with Section 6(...

Hi,

Thanks CR001

I thought Section 6(1) is for Tier 1 Main applicants (ILR + 1 yr) and section 6(2) for Spouse of BC

Thanks,
Srikanth.

Thanks CR001,

If we need to wait... it will be till 2020, as the bulk of the absenses were due to single trip on her maternity leave.

Regarding 5 years residence, is this a new route.. I thought she can only apply as spouse of BC (3 years route).

Thanks,
Sri.

Hi, Has anyone had been successful with British Citizenship application (as a BC Spouse) with discretion for 270 days in 3 years. We are planning to apply this year and we have 440 days in the last 3 years, not sure if it is a wise decision to goahead. Please share you experience if you are successf...

Hi, if the applicant is out of country for more than 270 days because of maternity leave.. can they still apply for British Citizenship ? planning for citizenship in May 2018 for my wife (as spouse of BC) who was outside UK May 16 - June 16 working from India with full time salary July 16 - March 17...

Hi, Sorry if this off topic, if the applicant is out of country for more than 270 days because of maternity leave.. can they still apply for British Citizenship ? planning for citizenship in May 2018 for my wife (as spouse of BC) who is outside from UK (May 16 - June 16 working from India, July 16 -...

Hi, So from January 2018 onwards whoever as a PBS Dependent apply for ILR (5 year route) need to have less than 180 days absences in each year(5 years backwards till 2013) ? Also can anyone clarify what is the meaning of below lines in the new rules, are they talking about counting of absences start...

I appreciate the fact that as a moderator you are stating the problems of having duplicate groups or large un-manageble groups. as per my thinking dependents who have applied/approved visa after 9th July 2012 can only complete 4 years 11 months of stay by June 2017, if not please guide me where to f...

I am trying get the success stories of all the PBS Dependents who completed 5 years (July 2012 - June 2017) and applying for ILR with significant absences from UK (hope everyone knows that these absences are not relevant as per latest rules, but still want to see success stories) Please try to list ...

Hi Jagjit,

We have received a text with dhl tracking no, I assume it might be from DHL courier. That courier was sent to UK embessy in New Delhi.

You can always check the progress with HMPO helpline, we checked and confirmed the printing and postage of passport with HMPO helpine.

Thanks Vinny, Sorry to ask the same question again, hope there is no problem w.r.t 1 year stay out of UK because of maternity and the usual rule 180 days in 12 months will not applies to dependents ? Also, since I am a BC now can she immediately apply for BC after getting ILR and what will happen to...
