Why can't she apply for ILR with you? When did she arrive in the UK and when does her visa expire?

hi, thanks for your reply, actually she can but i thought that anyways i need to apply for her dependent pr next year, as then only she will complete 1 year. so until then can she stay in uk in the same dependent work permit even if i move to ilr

When did she enter UK?
When does she complete 2 years?

So long as she does not travel out of the country. She will be elegible for ILR once she completes 2 yrs.

dear all,

Today I got my ILR, thanks to this discussion board which helped me in clarifying many doubts. I was in work permit and then in T2 ICT for 5 years with 5 months break in between. But it was very smooth PEO experience.

i have few questions, can some one clarify please:

1/ I got ILR only for me. My family (wife and 2 kids) are in India since Nov 2012. They were here in UK for more than 2 years during my 5years stay. They now have T2 ICT dependent visa till Aug 2014. Because I am now moved away from T2 ICT to ILR, will they loose their ICT dependent status? Can they travel to UK now using their ICT dependent visa? Can I wait till Aug 2014 and then apply for ILR dependent for them?

2/ If I apply NOW ILR dependent for them from India, which form should I use?

3/ Are they eligible for ILR direcly NOW from India as they have lived here already for 2 years?

They can continue as PBS deps as you were settled (granted ILR) as a PBS dep. Your wife's absences should be limited and for good reason regarding her settlement.

Where was your child born?

thanks d4109125. what are my options now. i dont have good reasons for their break. so can i bring them to uk in ict dependent visa itself? do i need to extend their ict dependent visa when it expires in aug 2014?

You need to list the times in the UK and the absences.
