Amendments to application for ILR (Dependents)

[botech79]

Hi sushdmehta
This is the information I found in one of your posts :::

""And, some good, cost saving changes to settlement requirements for dependants of PBS migrants as well:

Amendments to applications for indefinite leave to remain wrote:
7.13 .....
Technical changes are being made to the provisions for indefinite leave to remain applications by dependants of Points Based System Migrants. These amendments allow dependants who are not applying at the same time as the main applicant to qualify for indefinite leave to remain as dependants of Points Based System Migrants, rather than as dependants of persons present and settled in the UK. This is consistent with indefinite leave to remain provisions for dependants in all other economic migration categories. These amendments also add this provision for other relevant Tiers of the Points-Based System (The pre-existing rules refer to dependants of Tier 1 Migrants only). """

I wanted to know how we would be having any cost saving here..are you saying that the dependents need not apply along with the main applicant?
If so, how would they get converted to British citizen after an year?

The technical change you refer to has not been implemented. Apparently, this "change" was never supposed to happen and was included in the statement of changes by error - as this communication from UKBA to one of the forum member suggests.
