I have the following (hopefully small) question. It would be very much appreciated if someone knew how to proceed:
Our (family) situation:
- Me and my family have Indefinite leave to remain.
- We had it for nearly 10 years now.
- As such, the cards are about to expire in about 6 months.
- I have been working in Germany for about 6 years now:
- I have been returning to the UK every 3-4 months throughout this time.
(There never has been any issue when reentering.) - I still pay some bills in the UK, so I hope that I can still claim residence.
- When should I apply for an extension?
- I.e., can I already do it now?
- Do I have to wait until less than 3 months remains?
- Can I wait until only 1 month remains?
- Do I have to apply to renew the visa or just the card?
- How long will it (approximately) take?
- Do I have to proof residency again and if so, will utility bills etc. be sufficient, since I have been /am working abroad?
- (Anything else important that I have missed, if anyone has something to advise).
Thanks everyone in advance. If there are relevant questions that I forgot to address, please let me know.
Cheers.
