I appreciat your inputs on three questions that I have before starting my ILR application.
Q1:
I applied from outside UK for my T2 (G) for myself and my wife. My CoS start date and first "visa valid from" date on my wife and myself are 20 Dec 2014.
Our appointent to hand our documents was 15 Jan 2015!
Our first landing in UK and start working, living was 10 Mar 2015!
My current T2 is valid until 20 Dec 2020 and was renewed in Dec 2017.
My question is, In order to count my continious 5 years, Can I consider the start date is 20 Dec 2014 (my visa valid from) and I was absent between then and 10 Mar 2015 ( roughlly 80days) which make my 5years end in Dec 2019 or I have to start from 10 Mar 2015for counting? I never exceed the maximum allowance of being outside UK even if that 80days at start is considered.
Q2:
Our Baby was born in UK in Feb 2018. He has depndednt visa at the moment that is valid untill dec 2020. I have considering at the time of his born we were not permanent residents, and assuming we will be granted ILR, can I hold his application untill we get ILR and then he automatically becomes a British Citizen? i.e. to save £2400 for his ILR and go straight citizenship.
Q3:
If I have to apply for his ILR, considering he was born in Feb 2018 and have not been in UK more than 2years, Can I apply for ILR as my dependent when I apply for ours? (for this question I am assuming the answer to Q2 was a no)
Many Thanks for the help
