ILR query - Time spent outside UK.

[nkanalyst]

Dear All,

My query might have been already discussed but I am not sure.

I am currently working in the UK on Tier-1 General. I am eligible for ILR in June 2014. I got married in Dec 2009, even since my wife lived with me in the UK on Tier-1 dependent Visa.

We haven't spend any major time since 2009 outside UK apart from normal month holidays every year.

She is pregnant and going to India and will be in India for next 7 months. Will this affect her ILR application?

It will be appreciated and helpful if some one advise me on this please.

Thank you.

dependants doesn't come under 180 day rule..but this will have effect when she applies for naturalisation...

why dont you have the child birth here..the facilities are good here and your child will automatically get british citizenship after you get your ILR...

Thanks for your reply Gaurav.

I do understand your suggestions and I am aware of all facilities but just because of few family things it's good for her and baby to be in India. As far as we all getting ILR, I would be happy but let's c how it goes.

Thanks for reply ! appreciated.
