Derivative Residence - Primary Carer

[angelsevil2002]

Hi,

My wife and I have a new born baby son who is British by default as I have got my ILR before he was born.

To apply for derivative Residence for my wife she has to prove she is the main carer. What does main carer mean here and how can we prove it and show that the new baby is dependent on the mother?

Note, we are married since 3 years and we have been living together for the last two years in England, my wife still holds a Tier 1 Dependent Residence.

Apologies if this question has been asked before but I searched and couldn't find any answers.

Thanks all.

Does you and your wife's earning exceed 18600. If it does, then it is more sensible to apply FLR(M) or FLR(FP) than DR1.

my current salary is high but I am on my last month notice and got my P45, do you think I can still apply FLR M or FP?
