Hi,
I came to the UK in May 2011 under ICT Tier 2 category and got my ILR in Aug 2021 (Long residence route which took me 10 years)
My wife came into the UK in Apr 2012. However she went to India twice when my 2 kids were born and have exceeded the stay for more than 6 months on both the occassions. So, I have to take ILR Dependant visas for my wife and kids in Sep 2021. As the clock starts again for them I thought I should wait for 5 years to apply for thier ILRs.
My wife and kids came to the UK after our second kid was born (both kids were born in India) in May 2017.
I was told that I can apply for my kids ILR if they are here for 7 years. In our case they will complete 7 years in May 2024. However we have to renew their ILR dependant visas in March 2024.
Question:
1. Is it true that if I renew my kids visa in March and can apply for ILR in May 2024 as they complete 7 years stay in the UK?
2. Also when my wife gets her ILR after completing her 5 years in ILR dependant category, should we apply for Naturalisation straight after she gets ILR? Or does she need to wait for 1 more year to get her British passport?
3. There is a lot going on the immigration in the news. Should I be worried that I am still holding ILR and have not applied for my Naturalisation? I mean does that effect the Naturalisation rules?
Please let me know in case there is a better way which I am not aware of , thanks a lot in advacne.
