WP+tier1 Got ILR for myself and kids not for wife

[krish2050]

I was silent reader of this forum , this is really helpful so I thought I will share my experience and got some help as well
WP+tier1 (valid till Feb' 2013) - 5 years complete on Jan'2012

Applied ILR for myself and 3 dependents

My wife and kids was in india from may'2010 to feb'2011 ( not living with me in UK for last 2 years).

Case worker asked me evidence for last two years as I was quite sure as happen in this case : http://www.immigrationboards.com/viewto ... 333#487333

I will be fine but she specifically asks for last 2 years ( for cohabitation) and suggested either a. apply by post for some consideration b. settlement for myself and kids
and I opted for option b and she suggested to apply for FLR(M) as tier 1is valid till Feb'2013 , she suggested that there is no hurry but apply for FLR(M) by end of Feb'2012.

As I need to go india in Feb for 3 weeks , I have few questions.

a. is there any way ,I can apply for settlement for my wife again as she was living with me for 3 years out of 5 years but not last 2 years

b. apply FLR(M) in february , As We are going india in Feb , will it be an issue , as we are on different visa.

c. how long we can wait for apply for FLR(M) as existing tier 1 visa is valid till feb'2013.

Please help.

I think that the caseworker should have considered "at least two years" (319E(d)), rather than "the last two years" cohabitation in the UK.

Unfortunately, I don't think that there is much that she can do now, as you had decided on option b.

She should therefore apply for FLR(M) as soon as possible, before travelling.
