Hi,

I have a question regarding the dependent ILR too.

I was granted ILR under Tier 2 in Sep 2019. My wife has been my Tier 2 dependent since March 2015 and she is still has PBS dependent visa valid till Sep 2020. She will be eligible for ILR next month.

I just tried to have a look at the form and the form starts with asking questions about me and which visa i have been granted (only feasible option here appears to be Tier2 - athough i already have ILR. Doesnt give me an option for that...) and it also asks about my spnsor license number?

My only question is why is it asking me this? Is this normal?
I have actually now left my employer since i got the ILR status and I am planning to set up something else.

Although having gone to the end of the application, it hasnt actually asked for any documentation for the sponsor. Its fairly basic documents that it has asked... passport, BRP, consent, etc.
So i guess it should be okay...?


Has anyone been in this situation recently?

It is normal. Enter Tier 2 and enter your old sponsor licence number too

Hi guys,

Can you also clarify if PBS dependent can apply for ILR 28 days earlier from when the 5 years are complete?

Could you also confirm if there is any such rule that you have to be in the country in the last 30 days from the date of application?
My wife will be due to apply for ILR at end of Feb but she was planning to go back home.
Can she apply straight away (assuming she is eligible) when she is back from her home country or is there any such rule?

Thanks

Can you also clarify if PBS dependent can apply for ILR 28 days earlier from when the 5 years are complete?

Anyone applying for ILR can apply within 28 days of becoming eligible

Could you also confirm if there is any such rule that you have to be in the country in the last 30 days from the date of application?

No such rule exists

Can she apply straight away (assuming she is eligible) when she is back from her home country or is there any such rule?

Yes she can apply when she comes back

Thanks for clarifying this.

Can you also confirm that documents showing cohabitation is necessary?

I have just completed a draft form and it hasnt asked about any cohabitation proof.

So i guess its okay?
Is it true if cohabitation is only necessary if you are applying together and not required if both are applying separately?

Finally, if necessary, does a tenancy agreement count as cohabitation evidence?

We can give bank statements showing same address, utility bill for last one year, tenancy agreement.

Thanks for all your help.

Cohabitation documents is required when the dependant is applying as they need to prove their relationship is subsisting. ANY document can be used
