Hi nice people I got few questions
I am on tier 1 general and been in uk since 26 mar 2005 (student) and long residency will achieve in mar 2015, although my tier 1 general ilr due in July 2015 but I don't want to persuade that for x.y.z reasons also as SHAH GEE QUOTED " A bird in hand is better than two in bushes"
Now my case is straight forward with no break.
My wife and two daughters aged 10 and 11 now from Pakistan arrived as my dependant in nov 2006. Now what option should I have other than
Apply their flr(m) and wait till nov 2016 when their 10 year long residency will be completed.
Any other option?
In above option got two questions
1. My wife was absent from uk in 2007 for 4 months and 10 days, will that break continuous residency?
Life in uk book quotes
" if you are applying ILR and you have absence totalling more than180 days during any consecutive 12 month period during your residency period, you may have your application refused. YOUR RESIDENCY WILL ALSO BE CONSIDERED BROKEN IF YOU ARE AWAY FROM UK FOR MORE THAN 90 DAYS IN ONE GO"
2. Although we lived together ever but my wife only have her bank registered on the address nothing else or may be her GP address, although I have just made her my joint account holder on bank,council tax, gas and electricity and water but It is just recent which would not cover period of 2 years, any suggestion ?
3. My wife will also be completing her 5 years on PBS dependant in July 2015. So can she apply on that bases for ilr if I vary my app to long residancy
4. What if I go for tier 1 gen ilr and God forbid get refusal, can I apply for long residancy ilr?
Thank you for replying
