I came to UK on 6th of May 2004,and remained on leave as a student leave to remain visa and then I have changed my leave to remain to Tier 1 Post Study Work(Point Base System) on 22nd December 2011 which was valid until December 2013. After that I applied for Tier 1 (entrepreneur) and at the same time I applied for my family’s (Wife and Daughter)leave to remain extension as well. I have paid the required fee with all the applications submitted.
In May 2014 I completed 10 years long residency and applied for ILR(indefinite leave to remain) and have granted.
As my dependents (wife and daughter) application is still pending in the home office and waiting for their decision on their application.
My wife already spent than 5 years and 9 months in UK as my spouse dependent.
My wife joined me here as spouse dependent in July 2009 and been residing with me from then.
Would you kindly guide me on the following points:
• Can I apply for indefinite leave for my wife and British citizenship for my daughter considering that my wife already remained in the UK for more than five years as my spouse dependent.
• Daughter was born here.
• Will the fees that I already paid for my family be counted towards the new application.
• What procedure will I need to follow?
Can I apply for variation or change of my wife and daughter application.
