When to apply for ILR

Post by swl123 » Sun Aug 08, 2021 9:39 am

Hi,

I have similar confusion. I could not find clear answer anywhere else. My wife entered in UK on 9th September 2016, her 5 years will be completed on 9th September 2021. But her visa is expiring on 29th December. Can we apply her visa on completion of 5 years (9th sept 2021) or do we have to wait until December?
second question: If we can apply on completion of 5 years, then, can we apply 28 days before 9th sept 2021 (Mid August 2021) or do we have to wait until 9th Sept 2021?

Your help will be much apricated.

1. Do NOT tag your questions onto other members topics. It is considered rude.

2. Useful to state the visa category of your spouse as different visas have different rules!!

Do not spam the forum topics with multiple duplicate posts asking the same question!!! Specifically, do not post your questions in the timeline only threads.

Suggest you familiarise yourself with the forum rules please.

She can apply no sooner than within 28 days before the 5th anniversary of the date she entered the UK in a spouse visa (not a 6 month fiance visa).

The latest she can apply is the date her visa expires.

thanks for sharing the link for Financial requirements.
if it is possible/available, I am looking for a list of all the documents which are required to upload with the application.
Finance related, only 6 months payslips and employment letter required(my annual income meet the requirement), correct ?

Another tricky question, My previous company was acquired by my current employer on 1st August 2021. My job, contract and Pay remain the same just company name/owner changed. The payslips i am going to attach with the application are from my previous company but employment letter (with all the salary, allowance and bonus information) would be from my new employer.
How should i answer the following question in the application
"Have they been employed by the same employer for the last 6 months prior to the date of application?"

You can find the evidence required in the section that mentions the 'specified evidence' for your category. There is no general list but you will get a list after you complete your application online. Company take over should be viewed as continuous employment with the 'same employer'

thanks for your quick reply. what you advised that makes sense.
i was just thinking that case worker might get confused as payslips would be from different company and employment letter would be from a different company.

To eliminate chances of CW confusion, your clarifying the circumstances that warranted the difference sources of documents can be placed in additional information.
