Query ILR Dependent - 14 months absence due to maternity

[imbuser007]

Hi All,

Hope this is right thread to post my query.

My husband is currently working in UK on ILR.

May 2010 : I entered UK in May 2010 as Tier 1 Dependent.
Sep 2011 : Changed to FLR(M) as my husband got ILR.
Nov 2011 : then I went to India for delivery and was out of UK for 14 months.
Jan 2013 : I am back to UK with kid.


So Initially, I was in UK for 1 and 1/2 year,
then 14 months of absence
and now back to UK with kid a month ago.


Both myself and my kid have dependent visas valid till Sep 2013 (FLR(M)).


Could anyone please advise me on whether I can now apply for ILR using SET(O) for (myself+kid) ?

What are my options now?
Should I wait for 6 more months to cover the 2 yrs period??

I am not sure if they consider 14 months of absence.


I got mixed view from reading different threads and hence confused. I know one of my friend got ILR with the similar situation in the past. But now that they made changes to application to include absences more than 6 month. So I am concerned about this absences now. Any suggestions are most welcome.


Thanks
SS

Hi I am also in same situation. Have you heard any news on this from any one ?

You will be fine as the absence limit specified is only for main applicant. You will get the ILR if you can show 2 yrs of co-habitation in the form of docs.
