You have the risk of them becoming overstayers if your ILR is refused for any reason and in case you need to apply under other category.
Such overstaying period will not matter if your ILR is approved in future for registering them as BC.

2: can we apply for kids citizenship once our ILR approved?

Yes

Thanks Zimba88, Stay blessed...

Hi All,
i am applying for ILR in july 18 from tier 1 Entrepreneur, my wife also applying ILR with me as my dependent
kids:
2 (both born in UK age 3 year and 2 year) and got dependent visa till sep 18.

case1:
i was thinking to apply for me and my wife and once we get ILR then we apply kids citizanship.

case2:
i apply for ILR for all of us (me, wife and 2 kids)


Problem with case 1:
one of my friend did same he applied for ILR for himself and wife only. His daughter born in uk now 3 year old and at the time of application had dependnt visa. Now last week home office sent them letter about explanation why you didnt apply for your daughter?

Problem with case 2:
someone told me i can not apply for Kids ILR because they are not living with me from last 5 year as 1 born 3 year ago and second 2 year ago both in UK.

my question which option is best for me please ?
looking forward response from experts who always helped me and lot of others in this forum. specially Zimba88, CR001, vinny and many more

Best Regards

Stop listening to other stories, you might not know the full details and yes HO can and do write to ask about children especially if children have had dependent visas. All people have to respond is that MN1 under Section 1(3) will be applied once ILR is granted. No big deal!!

There is no 'minimum residence' period for small children.

Your topics have been merged where you have already been given advice, which has not changed.

[Rafeeq1144]

Thanks CR001,
yes you are right as I make my mind after Zimba88 reply couple of month ago. But after these 2 things I get confused.
Thanks for help again.

one more question please if we all applying me, wife and kids need to fill 1 form only? or separate for each?

[CR001]

If all applying together, one form for all of you together.

[Rafeeq1144]

CR001 and all other experts stay blessed.

I saved money by not applying ILR for kids.

hi again to all gurus.

i am applying tier1E to ILR in 4-5 weeks time.
Question 1:
is there any problem if we both (me & wife) earning between 1600-1800 a month combine?

she is running her own business and talking only £800 salary as director. She also got dividend of 9000 in 2017.
I am running my own business and taking £850 salary as director, I am main applicant.

question 2:
how much should i write her monthly income?
just 800? or dividend plus monthly income devided by 12 ?

please suggest


thanks in advance.

[zimba]

Income is not a requirement for ILR under Tier 1E, so it is not that important what you earn or write on the form

[Rafeeq1144]

Thanks Zimba you are always been helpful.

I will post again if I need any further help.

Hi experts,

[Rafeeq1144]

Sorry to bother you again, CR01, Zimba, or any other expert:

following email she received when she passed test and she call them yesterday and they said its still acceptable because its CEFR Level B1.1

[CR001]

I am only quoting what the changes were in 2015. Let us know if this is accepted by HO.

See Q4 in the link below, ESOL test are no longer accepted since November 2015.

indefinite-leave-to-remain/faqs-english ... 93792.html

Q4: I am not exempt and do not hold a degree taught or researched in English. How do I go about fulfilling the requirement on the basis of an English qualification?

You can prove your knowledge of English by having an English level B1, B2, C1 or C2 level qualification on one of the Home Office’s lists of recognised English tests and qualifications. You must take the test at an approved test centre.

ESOL qualifications are no longer accepted as proof for settlement and citizenship applications.
