First of all, I wanted to thank this forum and everyone here, especially the moderators, who have helped me during the visa and ILR process from the beginning.
Secondly, here is my case right now.
I have received my ILR while on GTV Visa and had an endorsement from the Royal Society (3 years route). My wife (on a separate GTV visa) will be applying for ILR (3 years route) in 12/2022. Our children are on GTV-dependent visas (on my GTV-dependent visa valid until 12/2024, but now I have ILR) and one of them will be 18 on 01/2023.
I have the following questions and will highly appreciate it if any moderator or member can answer these questions:
- My children have to spend 5 years for ILR or they can apply early as one (or both) of their parents will have ILR?
- What will happen to the children over 18 years of age?
- Can I or my spouse apply for citizenship one year after the ILR? Or do we have to wait until we complete 5 years in the kingdom?
- If I and my spouse will be on ILR, is this going to shift our children to 10 years route for ILR/Citizenship? They are on GTV-dependent visas now.
Thanks again.
