Dear Experts,
My wife and I came to UK more than 10 years ago and have a couple of kids born here. Our Tier 2 long-term staff and dependant visas are expiring next Friday. The solicitor helping with long residence ILR application, yesterday evening, asked for
* Last 10 years of council tax statements
* English test certificate in speaking, listening, reading and writing
Are they really needed?
We have an English test certificate in speaking and listening from Trinity, based on advice of another solicitor in the same firm but now on vacation. In addition, he had given a list of documents for adults (life in Uk test, old and new passports, BRPs, absences list) but never mentioned council tax. No action was advised for kids born here until adults receive ILR as kids are then eligible for citizenship.
Lastly, is there a grace period, post visa expiry, for ILR application?
Any views from you can help shape my discussion with HR and solicitor on Monday.
Thanks,
imab
