i checked with the home office, they said that even if one get ILR, Their dependent don't have to get their visa status changed within 28 days. they can change when their own visa is about to get expired irrespective of their spouse ILR status

The advice that I have seen briefly on this forum seems to suggest that dependents of those that obtain based on ILR (LR) who have been tier 1 dependents should switch their visa to a dependent of a settled person asap or they would not be able to travel out of the UK and back. However hardip03 seems to contradict this with the above post. Those that are saying otherwise, are you saying this having spoken to the home office?

Hi everyone
I am switching to ILR next month and my wife got T1 dependent visa but she is still in pakistan for some reason she might b travel b4 i send off my ILR app,but my question is just in case if she cnt travel before my app and until my ILR app decision can she travel on her T1 dependent visa kindly help.

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
Riz

First and foremost you need to meet the financial (£18,600) and english requirements for your wife. The financial requirements includes 6-months bank statements and 6-months payslips. You wife must pass the english exam. Since your wife does not live in the UK at the moment am afraid she cannot use form FLRM, but i think she can use form VAF4A and please fill out Appendix-2 as directed in the application form. Please follow the link below;

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... /VAF4A.pdf

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... endix2.pdf

https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... lement.pdf

You should complete Appendix 2 if you wish to come to the UK as:
• The spouse or civil partner of someone settled in the UK; or
• The child of a parent who is applying for entry clearance as a partner or the child who is applying to join their parent who is already in the UK and has been granted limited leave as partner granted under the Immigration Rules in force on 09 July 2012; or
• The fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of someone settled in the UK; or
• The unmarried or same sex partner of someone settled in the UK; or
• The Post Flight family member (spouse or civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner, fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner, or child) of someone with limited leave to enter or remain in the UK as a refugee or is the beneficiary of humanitarian protection.

Hope this helps Other experienced members please give your advise to Ima. Thanks[/quote]

Which English test should she take, IELTs, Toefl amd what's the minimum band required?
Do I have to attach her Educational documents as well?
Do you know what's the average time scale for such applications thesedays?

My understanding was that I would be the only one filling out the form and submitting the application from UK but little confused about her being required to fill out form too from back home. Are we supposed to submit separate applications from within UK and from back home? Please advise.

I'm really grateful for your time and responses.

Many thanks,

Hello Ima,
you will have to submit your wife's application from your home country since she doesn't live in the UK. You will include your marriage certificate as well as the English language requirements check the links I sent you on documents required for the application you will find the English language requirements and the type/band required.
You only need to submit ONE application only and this is to be submitted in the country your wife is currently residing.[/quote]

Hi Amber,
With this new change(s),may I pls know if an individual on the five years transitional period can truncate it as soon as they themselves accrue 10 years long residence in UK?

Hi Amber,
Just a bit curious here, may I please know if the dependand of a person who just got his/her ilr on 10 year long residence having applied and granted leave to remain for 5years based on the April changes. My question actually is that could that dependant shelve the 5years transition and apply SET(M) if he/she make 10 years long residence in the 5years FLR(M) leave to remain.
Thanks for your anticipated and helpful response.

Your solicitor may be mistaken.

Please continue in your other thread.

I agree. It is like some of these lawyers don't read or update themselves.

I you have made a life long decision of practicing law, then you have to be constantly reading and updating oneself on the law, and changes to it.

Or they might as well do something like accounting or a writer or political science, or History even , as they seem to be purely focused on the past and not the present.

Hello Dear Admin, I would like to ask about my wife Spouse Visa FLR(M).

I received my wife FLR(M) Decision yesterday, mentioned that they did not accept my (sponsor's income threshold £25,000), because i did not sent my Original Bank statement but they did accept my wife income threshold which is £10,000 was not enough to reached required amount of 18,600. Apart from bank statement they accepted my Payslips/P60/Job Confirmation Letter etc.

i sent some original and some online banking prints bank statement, because i was running out of time when i asked for further documentation so i sent some online statements.

But they issued visa to my wife .... Consideration has been given under paragraph R-LTRP.1.1 (a), (b) and (d) of appendix FM wich include the expectations paragraph EX.1(a) and (b). you have a parental relation with a child and it is not reasonable to expect that child to leave the United Kingdom.

Because of your particular circumstances, you have been granted leave to remain within the immigration rules under D-LTRP.1.2 of Appendix FM. 30 Months with permission to work.

My Wife came to UK in April 2008 on my dependent visa (Tier4 Student dependant). Her 10 years will complete on

1. What is the Dis-Advantages or Bad about Discretionary leave to Remain?

2. Is that will be difficult to extend visa in future as FLR(M)? because my wife will need one year more leave to remain to complete her 10 years for ILR(LR) at the end of her current leave to remain which she just given now.

3. Shall i go for Administration Review ? with my original Bank Statement?

Please Advise me i need some clarifications.

Many Thanks
Tanweer

1. Takes longer (10 years instead of 5) for SET(M) under this route.
2. I don't think that her 10 years elibility for SET(LR) under Long Residence will be affected.
3. She may ask for a Reconsideration.
Submit the evidence (bank statements, etc.) as specified in Appendix FM-SE.

My wife is on Dependent visa of T1 HS and Visa expire on June 2016.

Once i get my approval, she need to change her Visa Status to ILR dependent. She don't have problem for her English test coz she finished her MBA from UK university. I am Bit worried about Bank Statement and Payslip.
Is it alright to show her Own Bank statement and Payslip.
If Yes- How much does she need to show and for how long??

I would really appreciate for your Kind Advice.
