Visa Valid From: 05/12/2005 [Visa Student]
UK Entry: 22/12/2005
Absent from UK due to holiday 19/01/2008 - 03/03/2008
Current Visa expires: 30/10/2015
No overstays so far, My first visa was Student visa, 2nd Visa was Student visa, 3rd Visa PSW, currently Tier-4 student visa.
I have my wife as my dependant living here since 2008. My only son born here last year.
Q-1) Can I apply for ILR upon my visa expiry as it's not exactly 10 years ?
Q-2) If not, what do you suggest me to do ?
Q-3) If yes, what form should I fill up for my wife & son ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your helpful replies.
Don't apply for ILR now, is even taking around 8weeks now,
To buy the two month apply using FLR(FP) including your wife as dependent, if your son was born in UK and his under 18 you might want to remove him now to save money, on that form you will be applying based on your private life.
To make sure you push it to December you will have to leave your biometric till last minute.
Then you can defer to ILR and use FLR M for your mrs, telling them to hold her application until a decision has been met for yours.
