HI EVERYONE,

MY FRIEND NEEDS A HELP REGARDING HIS ILR APPLICATION HIS DETAILS ARE:-

CAME UK 11/2005 AS STUDENT AND WAS STUDENT TILL 2010
2011- TILL DATE ON TIER1 DEPENDENT VISA AS HIS WIFE GOT TIER1 IN 2011.

QUERY:-

1. HE LIKES TO APPLY FOR HIS OWN 10 YEAR LONG RESIDENCE (WIFE NOT ELIGIBLE YET) ILR
WHICH IS DUE BEFORE HIS TIER1 EXPIRES, DOES HE NEEDS TO SHOW HIS OWN HMRC TAX
LETTERS TO SHOW INCOME AS THERE IS SOME TAX ISSUE IN HIS WIFE TIER1 LAST EXTENSION.

2. ONCE HE GETS HIS OWN ILR CAN HE APPLY FOR HIS WIFE ON HIS ILR BASED AND WILL THERE
BE ANY TAX DOCS REQUIRE FOR THAT SETTLEMENT VISA?


ANY ADVICE WILL BE GREAT
THX

1. He does not need to submit employment documents for ILR based on long residence. I suggest your friend reads the Set(LR) form and guidance notes and then come back and ask questions if anything is not clear.

2. If his wife applies for a spouse visa on FLR(M), HO also do checks. If she has an issue with her tax, I would suggest she sort it out first with HMRC. Wife clock for ILR will reset to zero if she applies for spouse visa and will have to wait 5 years (2 x 2.5 year visas) before applying for ILR.

Please don't write in capital letters. It is the same as shouting and is very difficult to read.

Firstly, go easy on the capital letters. Typing in ALL CAPS is considered shouting online and is not appreciated.

CAME UK 11/2005 AS STUDENT AND WAS STUDENT TILL 2010
2011- TILL DATE ON TIER1 DEPENDENT VISA AS HIS WIFE GOT TIER1 IN 2011.

What was your friend's status between 2010 and 2011? Was there any period of time when your friend did not have leave to remain?

ONCE HE GETS HIS OWN ILR CAN HE APPLY FOR HIS WIFE ON HIS ILR BASED?

No.

His wife will have to apply on the basis of her own Tier 1 requirements. If she changed to being his dependant, her clock would reset and she would need to spend five years from the time she switched to being his dependant. So, we are looking at at least 2020.

[pankajkr_ghy1]

Thx for all the replies.

Her 10 year will also finish in 2017 so after
Getting dependent visa can she apply for her own
Ilr based on 10 year?

[CR001]

Yes, she can apply on her own, provided she meets ALL the requirements. Any legal visa status counts towards 10 years ILR.

[pankajkr_ghy1]

thx cr001 for your reply.

as you quoted "Wife clock for ILR will reset to zero if she applies for spouse visa and will have to wait 5 years (2 x 2.5 year visas) before applying for ILR"

but after getting dependent visa on settled person can she apply for ilr on 10 year route once she reach 10 years ??

[geriatrix]

Yes, she can.

But whenever your you/friend/wife applies for settlement under any route his/her tax affairs during stay in UK may be checked.

It seems that Illegal employment and tax irregularities are being checked thoroughly these days by caseworkers. So if there are tax issues, get them sorted and amended well in advance.

And, learn not to shout.
