True, My wife was on a independant wp and was not allowed to apply for ILR along with me...tvt wrote: If you include your wife in your application, then unless she changes her status to a WP Dependent prior to your application, her application (not yours) may be refused.
Why dont you make her your dependant before you apply for your ILR and save her the 2 years wait and money?1) We will end-up paying for her separately for every thing (FLR (M) ->ILR->Naturalisation->Passport) and this is going to be a lot of money with new fee hype.
2)She will get her ILR and the rest of it quite late. Considering latest immigration laws at list two years after she switches from HSMP to ILR dependent.
Yes, I agree...don't make it too complicated for you. The solution is very simple and will cost you less. It's just a choice between her obtaining an ILR at the same time as yours or waiting for her to complete a 5-year FLR. If I were you then I would simply choose the first option.Why dont you make her your dependant before you apply for your ILR and save her the 2 years wait and money?
Likewise, just read the ILR guidance or rules from documents in HO website to have a better understanding. Unfortunately, the HO people are not the best people to get the right info. They always give you false info..many times I have experienced that so I dont usually rely on them. They dont usually know that they are talking about.Docterror wrote:I really doubt that the information given by the Home Office is correct.

The spouse CANNOT apply for ILR at the same time as the main applicant IF the spouse is NOT dependant on the applicant at the time of the application.Docterror wrote:I really doubt that the information given by the Home Office is correct.

Thanks for that clarification. That info should be helpful for a lot of people.jazbaati99 wrote:I can say from a practical experience of a friend where his wife got ILR after around six weeks of marriage and been in the country for only a week on a work permit dependent visa. As far as I know, there is no time limit for your wife to be on a work permit dependent visa to be eligible for ILR.
Yes, and the subject in discussion is ILR and not BC.olisun wrote:This is true for ILR (till now) but the same does not apply when you apply for BC
Olisun, we all already know and agree about that. But according to what RedSpeed wrote, and I quote-olisun wrote:The spouse CANNOT apply for ILR at the same time as the main applicant IF the spouse is NOT dependant on the applicant at the time of the application.
I would also like to do the same but as per HO she has to be on my WP dependent visa for more then two years before she can apply with me for SET (0).
