Dependent Extension Applica Form-PBS Dependent Form (or FLRM

Hello,

My wife entered UK in Nov 2010 on Tier 2 (ICT) and switched to Tier 1 - General dependent in Nov/Dec 2012?.

I am due to get ILR in Sep 2014. However I have been advised by UKBA customer care that she has to wait for 5 years to get ILR, as per new rules.

Could someone please advise me on the below?

Can she apply for dependent extension while I am applying for ILR?

o If yes then which form (Tier 1 Dependent or FLRM) should I be using?
o If No then how many days should I wait to file her application? Should I wait until I receive my ILR?

Appreciate quick response and thanks in advance.

Thanks,
Shanmukh

Hi Amber

Thanks for your reply and PBS dependant application form.

I am just wondering can I apply visa to my wife once I got ILR?
If yes what application I need to use for my wife extension and how many years she will get extension?

3 years

[quote="Amber_"]3 years

Is this 3 years grant through PBS dependant application only?

My worry is if I have to use only PBS dependant application then I should again applying Visa to make 5 years period to Apply my wife ILR ( bcz she got my dependant afer Jul 12 rules, in Dec 12). So whether I can apply her extension through FLRM after I have got ILR. if yes, will she grant 5 year VISA?

Hi can someone please advise me as I am bit confusing after going briefly through Set(o) form and new Tier 1 dependant extension form. shall complete this form separate for applying my wife Visa along with My ILR?
(Or) shall I complete the dependant details in Set (O) form?

How could your spouse apply on SET(O) with you if she needs to wait 5 years?

can someone please advise me on the following occasion as a matter of urgency?

from the above thread I am applying ILR and my wife applying as Tier 1 dependent (extension , upto 5 years) visa along with my application. I am not sure whether I should do both at same time? but unfortunately, I have booked my appointment on this Friday for both of us at same time


thereby i have paid (£ 2986 ) amount for myself and my wife . I just realized that the amount would be separate for each applicant plus premium service charge? while scheduling appointment, I have selected Main applicant and 1 dependent and paid the above figure as given me a quote

as per the Application form, the amount would be different for each person and premium service, if I could wrong


If you are a single applicant on form SET(O) and no dependents are applying with you, the normal specified fee is £1093 for standard applications made by post or courier plus additional premium charge


this below amount is applicable for myself and any dependent on the same form, which I have realised while I go through application, if I could wrong again
Number of applicants Standard
Yourself and 1 dependant £2186 + 800 premium service- 2986


Tier 1, 2, or 5 Dependent standard fees as follows as per application
Tier 1 – (General) standard £1,607


so total amount would be- 1093 + 400 premium service
Dependent- - £1607 + 400
Total would be = £ 3500

I would need your immediate advise what should be done as my Appointment is on this Friday

Any advise below please

They should do both at the same time ask before you submit it.

Shanmukh145, Listen to Amber, he/she is very senior on this forum, and know what they are talking about.

Many thanks for your kind advise. My ILR Application has been successful on the same day. I am waiting for my BRP card and my wife BRP card. I am not sure how many years my wife will get the VISA. I have asked my caseworker and they said they will round up the VISA for the remaining period to complete 5 years period.
It did take 2.30 hrs. waiting time to give my documents back. As recommended, I have informed before I drop my Application and payment details. The lady was bit confusing this process and finally charged me additional amount after I have been agreed for the additional amount.

PBS dep leave should be for 3 years.

hi Amber, yes i have received my wife BRP card. unfortunately, she had a VISA for 3 years period .

does she definitely need 1 more extension to round up for 5 years and eligible for ILR ?

Why unfortunately 3 years? That's correct! Yes she'll have to complete 5.

Need advice from any senior member of forum PLZ>>>>!!!!!

I got my ILR in Feb 2014 on 10 years residency some personal reason I couldn’t apply for my wife FLR(m) before April 2014. I applied on 2nd Oct 2014 at PEO and got approval for my wife. On that letter the case worker did not mention for how long he gave visa to my wife. Just mentioned your BRP will be delivered within 7 days etc….

Is that normal practice to not mention visa duration?????

At the end on letter after his signature there is rectangular box and in that box is mentioned “ If you are planning to apply ILR use SET(M) form and further information please visit http://www.gove.....”

Any idea what is that? Did he consider her within old rule? Or new? As he gave information for ILR in that box which is the last thing mentioned on that letter

Any advice plz?????

Thanks

Regards

Probably under new rules.

Thanks for the reply. can she apply ILR after Mar 18 (where she would be finished 5 years of my dependent) ?

No, she needs 5 years residence on her current visa path. This is due to the rules changes in April 2014 and you getting ILR based on long residence. Here clock reset to zero when she applied for FLR(M) after April 2014.

Thanks, sorry not clear, my wife is on PBS dependent visa since Feb 2013. I have got ILR in Aug 2014, where she had given Visa until Aug 2017. Now we are short of 6 months to round up 5 yrs and eligible to apply ILR after 5 years. I am sure rules have been changed but can she not apply PBS dependent extension by providing docs similar as my main PBS documents despite I am on British passport as I got ILR through PBS
Hope you got clear information of my wife current situation and please let me know if that is possible?

Sorry, another member had posted about long residence ILR in this topic.

She will need aPBS extension to make up 5 years before she can apply for ILR
