Can someone help please,
I came in August 2004, my wife joined me in May 2005 and our both kids born here. We have currently tier 2 visa till 2016. And we will complete our 5 years time period on tier 2 in December 2014.
Due to some personal reasons, I want to apply for ILR this month (10 years long residence).
Few queries.
1. What is the best option for my wife visa as I know my kids can apply after my ILR
2. What documents required for my visa, I am not interested to attach my payslips and employer letter etc.
3. If I apply for 10 years visa, is it will be really issue for my wife visa, according to new rules.
Your advice please

This is because if someone instruct his bank/credit card company in advance as who will deduct the fee then which name we need to tell them (Home office/UKBA/UKVI).

I need advice about immigration case of my wife.
I was granted ILR on 14th April 2014 on 10 year Long Residence Basis. My 2 children (Born in London) have now acquired British Nationality and British Passports in July 2014.
I applied for my Wife's FLR (M) in Croydon PEO yesterday which was approved in 1 hour & visa granted.
My 2 kids and my wife were my dependents (Tier 1 General) since October 2011.
The approval letter we received at PEO croydon mentions that my wife has to wait for 2 years in order to apply for Settlement (ILR). However, I asked the caseworker that she has already been my dependent (wife) for more than two years and she replied that she can apply for ILR any-time suitable for us.
However, I know that rules have changed since 6 April 2014 which means that spouses have to wait for 5 years to get ILR.
I am really confused and dont know who to belive.
Can seniors of this forum help me understand the situation and guide me.
Regards

Well, if you have got 2 years visa for your wife using FLR(M), you could straightaway apply for her ILR as she has got 2 years visa and not 2.5 years.

For all the members who are in pursuit of 2 years visa for their suppose under the old rule rather then 5 year 2.5 each as per new rules, I closely followed this forum all the way before booking a PEO appointment was last week Tuesday (Same day service at Cryodon for FLRM trying to obtain and was quite confident and sure because several members on this forum share their experience of obtaing 2 years rather then 2.5.
But I was totally & utterly wrong and was extremely disappointed by the fact that members either try to provide wrong information or they were lucky enough as it might be in their case that the case worker was not fully or completely aware of the rules in place, any how in my case the case worker was fully aware of the rules and followed exactly what he was trained to do so.
Me & husband had decided not to discuss any rules with any one but did fill Finicial Requirement Section 7B as it is mention on form if an applicant is in UK before July 2012 don't need to fill 7A.
The officer start entering our case into system by checking Appliction , every thing was smooth until the officer pointed out to us that we have wrongly filled Section 7B and that from 06-04-14 every applicant has to fill 7A other wise the appliction will be consider as invalid, at this point I try to explain that I came to UK in 2009 & come under old rules July 2012 rules but all in vain as the officer said that he can not validate the appliction form unless we fill 7A we told officer we don't have other form he replied that he will give us a print out of the specific pages required and we have to fill 7A as our appliction will be consider under the new rules started from 06 April 14 .
At this point we taught we should point out 2 year visa as we'll rather then getting 2.5 , we did that but all in vain answer was the same under new rule, under new rule, under new rule applicable from 06 April 14.
Firstly me & my husband got very disappointed we wanted to see the case worker and explain the 2 year rule and that I came to UK as PBS dependent of my husband in 2009 therefore my appliction should be consider under old rules and 2 years visa should be issued but our request to see the case worker was not accepted and we were told that if it's required we will be called other wise the application will be process by the case worker.
All our efforts were useless as we filled section 7A and after entering our case and biometric our application was approved for 2.5 years visa.
We received our biometric card yesterday our last hope as we taught home office might issue 2 years card rather then 2.5 as mention by some member were they had 2.5 years letter followed by 2 years biometric card and vice versa , but we were living in illusion as we received biometric card with 2.5 visa.
Any ways best of luck to all for the next painfull & stressful trying & testing 5 Years
Hi Nabeel,jigars143 wrote:Hi Members.
Just a quick question. I am applying for my ILR on the basis of 10 years. I married last year in Pakistan and my wife came over and her leave expires in December 2015 with my Tier 1 General stay. Can I apply for my visa only or do I have to apply for my wife as well at the same time. What will be her status and what would happen when her Leave expires in December 2015?
I would appreciate your response.

I have almost same situation as yours. For 10 years ILR you can only apply for yourself as there is no provision to include your dependents in 10 yrs ILR route. Once you get ILR, you need to apply for your wife visa extension through FLR M form. It is because once your status changes from Tier 1 migrant to settle person (ILR) your wife would no longer be a spouse of Tier 1 migrant and she has to get a new visa as a dependent of settled person by using the FLR M form and has to fulfill the requirements for the FLR M like financial 18.6K and English language test.
Hope it helps.
Thank you Arsal. So as soon as I get my ILR how much time I have to apply for my wife's FLR (M)? Alos, if I have my ILR due in August can I wait until February to apply for it or will it have a negative impact. I have to go attend family wedding in December. Hope you have some information on this.
