Dear Members of IMB wish you all the very happy new year and I hope every one is doing good.
I have been thinking about the following and want your suggestion.
I am due to ILR on the 12 of Mar 2016 and I am planning to go for postal application
And here is my situtaion.
To spend some time with family and friends , and to avoid the high application fee in the UK , as in UK application fee is around £1700 for T1 G Dep but out side the UK T1 G Dep visa is around £1000 hence I have decided that my partner and my 2 year old daughter are going back home country on the 12 of Mar (T1 G Dep) and they would apply for extention as T1 G dependent from out side the UK
Question that i have in my mind is
a) Can they apply for the T1 G Dep extension from outside the country while my ILR application is still in process (postal application can take few months) , if they can apply, would they need to mention that on the application.
b) If they have to wait till I get my ILR , would that affect their 5 year cont stay clock.
c) I have heared that their is a new thing called IHS (immigration health surcharge), when they got the intial T1 G Dep visa in 2013, it was not there. Would they have to pay IHS when they would apply for the T1 G Dep visa from outside the country.
d) Since I am going for ILR I would not have to show maintaince funds but for my partner and the little one , I think they would still have to show sufficient funds in the account when they would apply for T1 G dep visa extension. Hence i have put £1500 in my bank account since 1 Oct 2015. I hope £1500 would be enough to suffice the requirement for my two dependants.
Any help would be appriciated.
Thanks
