Hi All,
I am looking to apply for ILR for myself and my wife (as a dependent) this Oct 2014. I am failing to understand a few things and I was hoping if someone could help me out with it. Here are a few of my queries,
1) I am currently on a Tier 1 (General) visa, and this coming Oct 5th I'll be completing my 5 years and hence eligible for ILR. I am not sure if I' require Set (O) form or some other? Also, do I have to use the same form to apply for my wife as a dependent too.
2) I was of the view that as of 1st Dec 2013, the main applicant is required to show Maintenance, enough to support himself and any of his/her dependents, but after going through different forums, seems like it's not the case. Can anyone please let me know if maintenance is required and if yes, how much maintenance will I have to show to support myself and my wife. Currently, for almost a year, I have a savings of a little over £3000.
3) Thought of doing an early booking for a Premium Service, when I went to the end of the booking, I was alarmed to see that in order to book an appointment, I need to pay in full right now (i.e., £2986) where as I was of the view that in order to book the appointment, I have to pay £800 (£400 for each applicant) and the remaining payment will be taken on the day of the appointment, but that is not the case? Has the rules changed recently for this that I wasn't aware of?
Well at the moment, I only have these questions? I hope someone will help be with these? Looking forward to your replies, Thanks in advance for going through my questions. and I am sorry if I am asking some real silly questions here, I'm just a layman in all this and find all this home office stuff kind of hard to sink ... lol !!!
