Hi,
I am writing here in regard to few queries about my application for ILR. Here is a bit of my background.
OPTIONS AVAILABLE FOR ILR:
By 08-Sept 2015, this year, I will be completing my 10 years legal stay in UK, So I can apply for ILR during Aug-2015 by this route.
Other Information: I sponsored my wife's spouse Dependent visa under my current Visa (Tier 1-General) during April 2014, last year and she is here in UK since May-2014 and we had a baby in Sep-2014 in London (and registered with council). So her spouse dependent visa (under my Tier 1 General visa) will be expiring on same date as my current visa (Tier 1-General), and that is on 25-Jan-2016.
Queries:
-If I go for ILR under 10 years route then I will be posting my application during middle Aug-2015 this year and if it takes longer time to get my documents back before my wife's spouse visa expires (on 25-Jan-2016), then how can I submit her visa application for extension during Jan 2016?
-Or can I apply for my wife visa/extension as well during Aug 2015 when I submit my 10 year route to ILR, If yes what category/form she will be and will she need Life i UK Test or English language B1 or NOT?
-Do I need to have English Language Test for my ILR application (as I have got MSc degree from Queen Mary, University of London in 2009).
-Is there any indication of this 10 year route option to be closed in upcoming this year (just asking because new govt brings new immigration policies)
Apologies for such long essay. I would be really grateful to you if you please address these queries. Many Thanks!
