Hi every one

can anyone guide me with my queries. I know you are very busy but your help in this regard will be very helpful and will be appreciated.


My situation is I got tier 1 general visa which will expire in march 2015 but I am completing my ten years in august 2014.i have my wife and my twins sons (11 months old born in UK ) dependant on me. They got the visa expiring same as mine.my wife is with me for last nine years as dependant. My questions are:


can I and my wife send the application together ILR for myself and dependant for my wife.

I got master's degree from uk do I need English course as well on 10 years basis.and do my wife need English diploma to get dependant visa if yes which one she need( if she got IELTS with 5.0 is that ok)

which form we need for me and my wife

Should we include our children in application or leave them until I get ILR.

Do I need to show any income as people say 18600 is requirement.

any salary requirement to apply on 10 years basis


do i need any funds available in the account to show them

when can wife apply for indefinite once my wife gets dependant visa.

I will be grateful if you guide me.

no.if you get ILR due to 10 years then there is no form for dependent .your wife has to apply for flr m first which include 18600 income plus she has to wait 5 more years to get ILR as her time towards ILR start from 0 after getting flr visa this rule is coming from 6 April this year

I got master's degree from uk do I need English course as well on 10 years basis.and do my wife need English diploma to get dependant visa if yes which one she need( if she got IELTS with 5.0 is that ok)

your degree suffice.but if your wife doesnot have any qualification then she can sit for trinity college GESE grade 5 exam which is 10 min exam .for ielts I have no idea she can used expired ielts but I have no idea what level is required and is it acceptable may be someone else tell you that


which form we need for me and my wife
for you it's set(LR) and same for your wife if she apply on 10 year basis otherwise as dependent she need flr(m).

Should we include our children in application or leave them until I get ILR.

it's better if you never include them as you can register them British by virtue of section 1(3) on mn1 form

Do I need to show any income as people say 18600 is requirement.

No for then years ILR that's why it's better if your wife apply ILR on 10 years basis

any salary requirement to apply on 10 years basis
just passports required of last 10 years ,English req and life in uk test .that is all you require


do i need any funds available in the account to show them
no

when can wife apply for indefinite once my wife gets dependant visa.

no she has to wait 5 more years better if she apply on 10 year basis
I will be grateful if you guide me.

Hi.
Any one can help?
My wife is gonna apply for flrm on Sep.
she will be on maternity leave that time and will get maternity allowance from job centre as she wasn't long enough with her current employer.
Can we use our p60 on September for the 18600 or not?
If yes then we have enough income for September if not the last 3 month payslips wont be enough on September as she won't be able to work till her maternity leave finish.
many thanks for help and advice.

[xy304]

Hey guys, just a quick question. My wife applied ILR under LR and just received her application acknowledgement letter. However, HO has made a mistake and had one letter in the post code wrong. What is the best way to contact HO and get this amended? I am certain it is their mistake as I have scan copy of the application form and it is all correct.

Many thanks.

atleast it gives us an idea of how many applications were there each month, however December they suggest only 10 completed - where as our own data for skydrive suggest 11 of Dec applications been completed, i think there figures are bit out of date.

Masive drop on the number of application for November and December. 50% less compared to September and October.

Is it true ?

Oh yes it is true as most of the applicants came in UK 10 years ago as students and students used to come here in SEP & OCT in those days. I am hoping to get good news before easter lets hope for the best........

hi I send an email got this response from home office,


Dear Sir,

Thank you for your further email.

As outlined in our previous email, on 6 April 2014 there will be a change to the Immigration Rules that will mean PBS dependants who are applying to ‘switch’ into the Partner of a Settled Person route will have to apply under Appendix FM of the Rules, and will not be able to combine any leave they have accrued as a PBS dependant with leave as a Partner under Appendix FM. This change will apply to all applications made on or after 6 April 2014.

However, those who make an application to switch into the spouse of a settled person category before 6 April 2014, and who were granted leave to enter or remain as the dependant of a PBS migrant prior to 9 July 2012, can be considered under the transitional Part 8 rules for further leave to remain under Paragraph 284. A person meeting these rules would be granted 2 years further leave to remain.

Those who are granted under Part 8 can combine any leave as a PBS dependant, with leave as the partner of a settled person granted under Part 8, to meet the qualifying period under paragraph 287 of the Immigration Rules, which is 2 years. They will need to satisfy all the requirements of these rules, including the English language requirement. Further information on this is available on our website at the following address: https://www.gov.uk/remain-in-uk-family

A person meeting the above requirements can consequently apply for settlement at any point after they have competed 2 years in a combination of these 2 categories (PBS dependant and spouse of a settled person).

Our website will be modified on 6 April 2014 to reflect the changes in the Immigration Rules relating to PBS dependants that come into effect on that date.
Kind Regards,

Karen.
