Spouse Dependent Visa fees

[yoginipingle]

Hi,
My husband and my child (who is born in UK) both have a British Passport. My application for ILR got rejected in 2016 under the clause of " not having spent two continuous years in the UK", as I used to travel to India very often and stay for longer than 90 days duration. After which my clock for getting British Passport got reset and now have to again wait for 5 years + 1 year ILR + 1 Year Naturalisation + 1 year Citizenship. I applied for Spouse Dependent Visa in 2016 after my refusal for ILR. My question is, is it possible for me to apply for British Passport on the basis of my minor son already having British Citizenship ?
Is there any shorter route ? My spouse dependent visa expires in December this year.
Appreciate any help / suggestions / recommendations. Thanking in advance.

Kind Regards.

Once you get ILR in 2021, you can apply for citizenship immediately as the spouse of a British citizen if you meet the requirements. Also, naturalisation and citizenship is the same thing, not sure why you think it is 1 year for each.

No it is not possible. You need ILR before you can apply for citizenship.

No there is no shorter route. You require 5 years on your current visa route and will have to apply for an extension in December and meet all the same requirements again, however you will need English A2 instead of A1. Note that the IHS fee is likely doubling by December too.

Hi,
As I mentioned earlier, my 4 years old son has a British Passport. I have a Spouse Dependent Visa on my husband who is a British Citizen. Can I apply for Dependent Visa on my son during my next renewal, which is due in December this year, without resetting the clock for my British Citizenship route ? I understand it is a 5 year route of which 2.5 years are already over. But looking for faster means.

Thanks in advance.

Kind Regards

You cannot apply for the FLR(FP) Parent visa if you are still in a relationship with the childs other parent. Besides, this will reset your clock to zero and a new 5 year or 10 year period.

There is no faster route to ILR or citizenship, via any route.

Hi,
My Spouse dependent Visa is expiring on 15th dec 2018. How early from the expiry date can I apply for renewal?

Thanks in advance!

At least 28 days before you reach 30 months residence counted from date of entry to the UK.

Hi Friends,
My Spouse Dependent Visa expires in december 2018. How early can I apply for renewal? Can I apply it now in oct or early november instead of waiting until last minute ?

Many thanks

Spouse visa extension can be applied 28 before of completing 30 months since arriving UK or before visa expiry. Preferably the extension shouldn't be applied so early to avoid any shortfall (3rd extension) towards qualifying period required for ILR.

Asking the same question again in a new topic won't change the answer you were already given on 21 October.

Thank you for your advice. It has been really handy. And sorry to repeat the question.

Kind Regards,

Hi,
My spouse visa due for renewal in dec this year. Following few marital issues my husband is refusing to sponsor my renewal. Both my son and husband are British Citizens. None of us have filed for divorce or separation and understand that is a long process. Until then how can I get my husband into sponsoring my renewal under legal grounds. I can't leave the country at a very short notice if my visa is not renewed on time, as my son is just 4.5 years old and has his set up here in London.
Apologies for similar questions. But I am in crisis situation.
Thanks.

Hi,
I haven't been able to find if the Spouse Dependent Visa fee is refundable or not if we cancel it before the appointment date. Does anyone know ?
