Hi All,
Firstly my sincere apologies if I posted my query in a wrong forum.
I need your advice regarding my partners application.
She was on PBS dependent visa from July 2015. Due to some medical emergency we have withdrawn her existing pbs dependent application in august 2018 which made her clock reset to zero technically. But we made a valid application within 14 days period from India and the application was successful. And we went to India in September 2020 and got struck there for 8 months due to covid and personal reasons too. Now my questions are:
1) I’m planning to apply ILR for my partner based on her stay from July 2015 to July 2020. With a hope that her withdrawal will be considered on humanitarian grounds and also, we made a successful application with in 14 days of leaving UK.
2. In case the ILR is not successful does Home office convert my partners ILR application to PBS dependent? So, that we can atleast save some application fee if they convert ILR application to PBS dependent rather than rejecting it.
I agree that i should have tried my luck by applying ILR in July 2020 but didn’t expect that we gonna get struck in India. What is the best option for us now.
1) Try our luck with ILR OR go ahead with normal PBS dependent? Please advise Thanks in advance
