ILR (LR) application query

Post by ROCKRIDER » Tue May 30, 2017 2:47 am

Hi everyone,
I need Seniors advice please.
I will be applying for my ILR (LR) soon straightforward application) and my current visa is Tier 4 Student Visa. I am married, my wife (Tier 4 Dependant Visa) resident only for the past 3 years and my UK born 15 months daughter (born in UK).
Our Tier 4 visa expires next year in late January (valid 6 months after i reach 10 years). I am planning to apply on a premium appointment and My query is:
Shall I apply for ILR (LR) alone, then apply for my Wife and Daughter? or shall we all apply together? If I apply alone, would it be smooth and faster application? if I apply alone, would my wife and daughter visas (tier 4 dependant) be considered invalid? please seniors advise on the best way to go about this. I am trying to go for the easies and most guaranteed application and I am thinking if I apply alone (as my application is straightforward) to guarantee the ILR, then I apply for my family separately to be my family dependants. is this the right way, or would it cause issues if I apply for them later on separately.
kindly advise.

Thank you all

ILR LR doea not permit dependents to apply wirh you.

Your wife must apply on FLR(M) once you have ILR if she meets all the requirements (financial and Englis). This will be a new 5 year route to ILR.

Your UK born child can be registered as British once you have ILR.

ILR LR(10 years route) Application form queries- Please help

Post by ROCKRIDER » Mon Jul 10, 2017 7:24 pm

Hi Gurus and experts,
Thank you all for your help, I have been following this forum and it has been very useful. I have tried to search for the answers here but I am struggling with the following:
I am applying for ILR LR 10 yrs route soon on a premium application, my queries/confusions are:

1. I have arranged and Paid for a Premium Appointment. When I am filling the application, I am confused on how to fill Section 1, I am not sure what options to choose, for example, A1 is asking me to select £2297 Standard box (but I have paid £2887.00 for premium and money has cleared already since late June). A6 asks for a method of payment, and Premium payment option is not included there. Kindly clarify if I must fill this, and if yes, how I need to go about filling it correctly?

2. Do I need to include a Cover letter with the application or not? My application is straightforward with no absences etc and I am going to a premium appointment, If I need a cover letter, is there any samples available, kindly advise.


3. Section D. Immigration history, I have a confusion with question D11.
D11. Please state what times you have with:
• The country where you were born.
• Any country whose nationality you hold.
• Any country where you have lived for more than five years.
You should tell us about any family, friends or other connections with that country.

I am not sure how I can correctly answer this question, especially the space given is very limited. I will write down the name of the country where I was born, then I will say I have my family (my parents and my two brothers) is that all and enough? Should I elaborate more?
I do not have another nationality and I have not lived anywhere more than 5 years apart from my home country and the UK (Should I write the UK as I lived here now 10 years). Is there a straightforward answer please help.

4. The other confusion is that D11 same question is repeated on E14 (I assume that I can answer it exactly as I did in D11 after hopefully, you clarify how to answer it right?).

Thank you so much

Topics merged. Please keep ALL your queries on the same application in one thread (this one).

1. Leave payment page blank.

2. Not required.

3. Only you will know the answers to these questions. There is no 'one size fits all' answer. You need to simply state the truth and your circumstance.

4. Answer both as required. There is no 'right or wrong' answer. Only you know the answers based on your circumstances.
