No, and no!Is it true that you need to own a property to apply for ILR? Or does it add weitage if you own a property?
A tough call. We need to take into account that as regards visa applications that are posted, it is the date of posting that counts as the date of application. That is, if the application is posted on Monday, 13.02.12 then that will count as the date of application, and therefore Section 3C will be in play. That is, the visa will be "treated as continuing" even though the printed expiry date will have passed.I am not eligible on 5-year rule until 18/02/2012 (earliest I can apply for ILR). My visa runs out on 13/02/2012, which means I am falling short by 5 days for earliest application (28 days before expiry of current visa).
No, because there is no "min. balance" requirement.devmanda1ia wrote:2. Also is there any guideline on how much bank balance I should have when applying?
If you are on WP, see 196D. If you are on Tier 2, see 319E.devmanda1ia wrote:3. Is there any qualifying period and rules for dependant of ILR? My wife has been in the UK for about 2.5 yrs.
In the case of OP, since 5.2 applies, I believe he can apply for settlement on/before 13-02-12 and doesn't need to resort to payment delay tactics.John wrote:You will post, on Monday 13.02.12, to the payment centre in Durham (unless that changes in the meantime), and after they have ensured payment has been made, they will forward the papers to a "real office" for processing.
By the time it actually gets in front of anyone to process the application for real it will undoubtedly be after 18.02.12.
Other opinions very welcome.
