Biometric Residence Permits and Dependant Applications

[Devb]

Hi,
According to the UKBA :
[quote]"...From Wednesday 29 February, all applicants in the UK will need to obtain a biometric residence permit if they are applying to stay here for more than 6 months. This includes applicants for permission to settle here (known as 'indefinite leave to remain')..."[/quote]

Will this means that if you apply for ILR at PEO, all dependants (over the age 6) must accompany you to the interview? or Biometric Permits shall issues after the result of the Interview as a separate process?

On or after 29th Feb 2012, all dependants will need to visit PEO and Biometrics will be enrolled the same day (even children under 6 years old will be required for photographs to be taken).

Yes I have phoned UKBA today and they confirmed this.

Thanks All. Though it is not ideal.... specially with younger kids. Hope they might offer some practical way

Hi do you only apply for the biometric residence permit when u apply for the ILR ?

ie my wife is on spouse visa and wont apply for ilr till june 2013. So she does not need this BRPermit till she applies for ilr ?
thanks
