INDEFINITE LEAVE TO REMAIN.

[haidarbaker]

Hi Guys,

My wife granted Spouse visa of British Citizen in Oct. 2012- Exp Jan 2015, However and when she made the application abroad she paid the home office fee £870.

Can someone please answer at least some of my questions:

1- When is she due to apply for ILR?
2- When is she due to apply for naturalisation?
3- What fee should she be paying again and when?

This forum has always been a big help through my process to naturalisation.

Thanks

3. Another £800/900 (fees will go up) Jan 2015, about £1000 for ILR Oct 2017 and another £1000 or so at same time if naturalisation wanted.

Those are rough costs as the fees go up constantly and may be be double in 4/5 years time....

Thanks Wanderer for your fast reply,

So what happens when her visa expires in Jan 2015?

Many Thanks

Apply for an extension on FLR(M) before the visa expires and spouse will need to meet the standard and financial requirements.

Thanks but does this apply for a spouse of British Citizen?

Yes, it is 5 years before a spouse of British citizen can apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain and then British citizenship for themselves.

The rules changed in July 2012 from 2 years qualify period to 5 years qualifying period.

This is absolutely clear
Thanks for your help
