FLR(M) or Dependent Visa can be applied while waiting for ILR Decision?

Post by jkkarthik » Mon Feb 01, 2021 12:54 pm

Hi,

I have applied for ILR (LR) in Dec 2020 and waiting for the decision. I have been in UK since Jan 2011 in Tier 2 ICT visa.

My wife came to UK in Apr 2015 and return to india in Nov same year. She and my first kid came back again in Apr 2017.

I have few queries for their ILR.

1. When both of them will be eligible for ILR?
2. Will the absence between Nov 2015 to April 2017 for Maternity will be considered while applying for ILR?
3. What is the best route (FLR(M) or Dependent) to apply ILR for both of them?
4. As my decision is still pending, can I apply FLR(M) or Dependent Visa now simultaneously as I could see the timeline is nearly 3-4 months?

What visa is your wife currently on? What visa are you currently on?

1. When both of them will be eligible for ILR?
5 years after they get FLR M visa.
2. Will the absence between Nov 2015 to April 2017 for Maternity will be considered while applying for ILR?
Not for ilr based on 10 years long residence no. Her 10 years continuous residence is broken.
3. What is the best route (FLR(M) or Dependent) to apply ILR for both of them?
FLR M is the only option provided you/spouse meet the requirements. There is no shortcut route available for ilr for them.
4. As my decision is still pending, can I apply FLR(M) or Dependent Visa now simultaneously as I could see the timeline is nearly 3-4 months?
Flr M yes, she must meet the English and financial requirements.

CR001 if someone unable to meet financial requirements due to covid, can they still apply for 10 year route.

as his wife already in county for 5 years , it doesn't matter if he go 5 years or 10 years route.

FLR(M) - Query on Time Lived in UK

Post by jkkarthik » Tue Apr 20, 2021 8:36 am

HI Team,

I am applying for FLR(M) for my spouse and kid. I have a query in "Time lived in UK".

My spouse initially came to UK in 2015 and return to home country after 7 month. Dependent visa was expired during the same time and came back in 2017 with the new dependent visa and continue to stay in UK.

For the FLR(M) application, DO I need to consider the initial period (from 2015) the total time lived in UK or from the 2017.

Can you please guide me.
