Thanks in advance for looking into my question on ILR application.

Hi board members,

Below is my immigration history I am eligible for ILR as Tier-2 General dependetn as well as 10 year long residency. I have submitted my ILR SET(O) application as Tier-2 General dependent yesterday from USA.
I filled application while I was on holiday and submitted from USA.

My question is, will this cause any issue as I submitted this outside UK and how does this impact on absences As I didnt include the short trip to USA in the application. I will be returning back to UK on 1st week of January.

It says I should upload documents and give biometric before 22 Feb 2022. but my visa expires on 11 Jan 2022. So am I ok to give Biometrics after visa expiry?

Can we cancel and reapply?
or
leave the application as is and explain if they ask more questions abount the short holiday.

Any suggestion would help me on how you would have dealt if you has the same situation.

Not sure if made the right decision to submit as ILR dependent rather than submitting on Long residency.

Applications made from outside the UK
A person can make an application to vary their continuing leave from outside the UK.
Paragraph 33A of the Immigration Rules confirms this. Although such an application
can be made from abroad, paragraph 33A is clear that the Secretary of State is not
obliged to consider such an application. However, if the applicant leaves the UK with
extant leave, makes an application to extend that leave from abroad before their
leave expires, they transition onto section 3C leave and will have 3C leave
indefinitely if we do not decide the application.

So you should be ok as long as you return and enrol your biometrics. You simply have to add the last absence period as an extra document. Section 3C should protect you after your visa expiry
