Dear Sir/Madam
We have booked our ILR appointment by Premium Service on 1st April 2017 (payment has already been processed), and I have selected the SET(O) as my application type in which I have included my wife and my daughter as dependants.
My Tier 2 General visa (and that of my wife as my Tier 2 General dependant) started from 27/06/2011, and following an extension in 2014, is now currently valid until 08/05/2017.
Our daughter was born on 20/03/2012 in the UK, but had to travel with my wife to India when she was 3 months old. Due to an extended period of stay in India, my daughter's Tier 2 dependant visa was obtained while she was in India, and it was valid starting from 10/10/2012. Her current dependant visa also expires on 08/05/2017, along with my wife and I.
Due to the above mentioned factors, I wanted to check if:
1) whether including my daughter in my SET(O) application along with my wife is acceptable or whether I should complete an alternative form for her and take it to the same appointment at the Premium Service
2) if I have to complete an alternative form for my daughter, then does the fee already paid toward the application go null and void, or whether this could be transferred into an alternative category
3) also, will she be eligible to apply along with my wife and I on the same day at the Premium Service, or should we wait until this October to process her ILR separately - and if this does become necessary, what would be her leave to remain status in the interim?
On a separate note, while paying for the SET(O) application form, it appeared as if we may be asked to pay the NHS surcharge, although the guidance notes for the ILR application seemed to suggest otherwise. Based on the duration of our stay so far, is it really necessary to pay the surcharge, and if yes, does this apply to all three of us?
I would be grateful if you could please clarify the above matters for us, and offer your expert advice.
Many thanks
