I need your advice. I am in UK since July 2006 and currently have ILR from July 2011. I got married in 2010 so my husband came to UK in July 2010. He is on Tier2 visa. He has completed now about two and half years . His current visa will expire in July 2013. We want to apply ILR dependent for him but I had following doubts :
1) Can he directly apply for ILR dependent visa using application form FLR (M) or does he need to first get spouse or marriage visa? (Actually I am not clear about what is spouse visa)?
2) We also have a daughter which was born in India in April 2012. At present, she is also on my husband's dependent visa (which is going to expire in July 2013). Can we apply ILR dependent for her as well in the same application or do we need to go back to India for her visa renewal?
3)My citizenship was due in July 2012 but since I went to India on Maternity, I was away from UK for about 6 months continously from March 2012 to Aug 2012. Now, if I complete my one more year in UK (from Sep 2012 to Aug 2013) will I be eligible for UK citizenship or I can never apply for citizenship now due to that long break of 2012?
