Dependent visa from India

[Imran 1981]

Dear Forum members,

I am applying for my Tier 1 Ent in November 2018. My dependents are my wife and twins babies. All mt dependents have dependent visa valid until November 2018 (same as me).

My dependents are currently in India with the family back home in India (as too much work with twins).

Is it possible that they don't return to the UK in November and I only apply for my ILR for myself in November 2018. Once I get my ILR in early next year, they can apply their visa from India mid or end of next year as this is the tile they intend to return to the UK.

Can some one please share any problem this may face on my visa or their visa please?

I would appreciate if senior members would please contribute.

You will have to wait for your ILR and then they will have to apply for a spouse settlement visa and meet all the requirements. This will be a new 5 year period, 2 x 2.5 year residence, before your spouse will qualify for ILR.

Are you children UK born??

Thanks CR001. Yes my children are UK born. Can they apply directly for BC?

Also my wife has already spent 18 months on Tier 1 dependent visa. If she apply in the UK, will she need to spent further 5 years for settlement or just 3 yrs and 6 months for settlement. can you please clarify?

She will need to return before her visa expires and submit an application for an extension of her PBS dependent visa at the same time as you apply for ILR. She will get a 3 year extension. This will maintain her current residence for ILR.

Children can apply to register as British on form MN1 once you get ILR, they do not need ILR.
