2. dependant spouse who have been in uk for 9.5 years when he can eligible to apply for ilr once main applicant got ILR through premium service. What is spouse current visa status and when does this visa expire?
Pls reply Thanks

No sooner than 28 days before reaching 10 years residence!
dependant completing 10 years in uk in dec 2015.
So depending on what date dependent reaches 10 years in December 2015, less 28 days.

If you apply for ILR based on Long Residence, this route does not permit partners to apply as your dependent for ILR. Your dependent won't qualify for ILR at the same time as you because you are applying on long residence basis.

There is no transitional rules in place for your dependent to apply for ILR once you have ILR. They will either have to wait till they qualify for 10 years long residence, or switch to FLR(M) and then apply when they qualify.

For your partner to apply based on long residence, they can only apply within 28 days before reaching 10 years, regardless of your application.

Me and my wife both came to UK in Sept, 2005 so v both are completing our 10 years on our own independent status, therefore would be applying Individual applications (SET) LR in Aug 2015 using Premium service, 28 days before completing our 10 years

SET (LR) and Tier2 dependant

Post by SYED.ZAIDI » Sun Jul 05, 2015 1:43 am

Hi
i have applied my tier2 extension and now waiting for the decision. in early Oct 2015 i'm completing my 10 years in uk and intending to apply ilr based on long residence in Sept 2015 through premium service. my wife, who is currently on my tier2 dependant, will also complete her 10 years in uk in Dec 2015. so my question is if i will switch to ilr in Sep 2015 then what would be the status of my wife? does she can continue her tier2 dependant until Dec 2015 when she will become eligible to apply ilr on her own OR she needs to switch some other category in Sep 2015? will her continue residence affected between Sep and Dec? please reply with relevant reference in the rules.
many thanks

If she has sufficient leave, then remaining on current leave before applying for SET(LR) should be possible.

No, they are not required for Set(LR). The form and guidance is clear on what documents need to be submitted.

Switching from tier 2 to ILR

Post by karollc » Thu Jan 21, 2016 12:22 pm

Hi,

I am the main applicant, on tier 2 as minister of religion.

In March 2016 me and my will be eligible for ILR based on 10 years.our current visa expire in April 2017

My husband who is on tier 2 as dependent has his son of 16 years, joined him on October 2013( he is current as dependent of his father and his visa expire on April 2017)

As we are going to apply for ILR in March 2016.

So I was advised to apply Based on settlement of family settled in UK. Based on this form he needs to send his father proof of settled, so I guess we need to apply for our ILR first then apply for him
Is that right?
Or
Do we send the form at the same time of ours?

Do we need to have proof of maintenance? If yes how much? How long?

If we apply first, what is going to be my stepson's visa status
does he stay illegal?

I am completely lost on this situation


Thanks a lot
Karol
