No. Once you switch to ILR on LR basis, your dependents must switch to FLR(M). Their ILR clock will reset to zero and they have to stay on FLR(M) for 5 years to qualify for ILR. Also, meeting all income/accommodation requirements etc.x31122010 wrote: ↑Tue Sep 01, 2020 7:44 pmHi CR001, Zimba et al.
Per previous conversation and advise, I am eligible to apply for SET(LR) 28 days before 19th Feb2021 and have been advised that the dependents should apply via FLR(M) route at the same time. However, I am contemplating a different route and seek your advice.
Assume I extend my Tier-2 ICT (via same COS sponsor) in Feb'21 along with my dependents and we ALL get Leave to Remain for another year; by the time we get the BRP etc it would be Apr'21 (prev experience, pre covid, had four month turnaround time). Now, if I proceed to apply for ILR in May'21 (via SET(LR)) can the dependents continue on their Tier-2 ICT dependents visa (until it expires, say in Feb'22) and apply on their individual ILR routes, when they are eligible, as previously suggested.
So in summary, can PBS dependent remain in the UK until the validity of the existing leave - irrespective of ?
I acknowledge, that this route to ILR is dependent (and carries the risk) on the COS sponsor extending my leave to remain for the 5th time!!!
Thanks.

Their visa expiry is not relevant even if that expires in 2022. Once you switch to ILR via LR, HO may curtail their visas OR they may be denied entry to UK if they plan to travel.

I have been trying to find out more about IHS for the FLR(M) route. I note that the IHS is set to increase from £400 to £624 pa and will be effective from 01Jan2021 It will be effective from 01 October 2020 and because we are only eligible to apply from 25Jan2021 onwards, we will have to shell out far more.
Anyways, I have been trying to find out how much IHS is going to cost (based on present slab) via https://www.immigration-health-surcharg ... ecker/type.
Please note that ALL my dependents (Spouse and 2 children) are currently in the UK and will be in the UK at the time of FLR(M) application.
The info I provide (assuming for 1 dependent)
Are you --> "Applying to join somebody (a main applicant) in the UK"
Are you currently in the UK --> Yes
Are you applying to stay in the Isle of Man, Jersey or Guernsey? --> No
Nationality --> Indian
DOB --> True DOB
About the person you are joining in the UK
What is their visa route? --> Further Leave to Remain
What is their visa type? --> FLR (LR)
Visa Expiration Date --> 28 Feb 2021
Now, the result is £200.
My question is
1. whether the £200 is for one year OR the 'internally' derived number of months that the FLR will be granted?
2. Am I choosing the incorrect option and should I be selecting --> "Coming to the UK with dependants"
I am aware that for each dependent, we will have to pay separate IHS.
Thanks,
They are applying to remain in the UK, not joining you.The info I provide (assuming for 1 dependent)
Are you --> "Applying to join somebody (a main applicant) in the UK"
You don't hold FLR(LR), which is a specific visa category.What is their visa route? --> Further Leave to Remain
What is their visa type? --> FLR (LR)
Visa Expiration Date --> 28 Feb 2021
IHS is payable for 2.5 years, you need to put an expiry date of your visa for 2.5 years ahead. Note also that it is too early to apply now.1. whether the £200 is for one year OR the 'internally' derived number of months that the FLR will be granted?
Which form or link are you using? They are applying to REMAIN in the UK WITH you.2. Am I choosing the incorrect option and should I be selecting --> "Coming to the UK with dependants"
Yes, you are correct. It is applicable to non-EEA nationals from October2020 and to EEA nationals from Jan2021. (£624 for adults and £470 for under-18)AmazonianX wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:53 pmx31122010 wrote: ↑Wed Sep 02, 2020 6:39 pmHello,

You are not the main applicant. Note also that IHS is part of the online form you do when you qualify to apply for FLR m for your dependents. You can out your current visa category, which based on your previous topic is tier 2. Notr you are NOT applying for FLR LR which is only a two year visa. For ilr you use form SET LR!!Within each of the options, I do not see the option to select ILR for main applicant. One can select FLR, Tier1/2, PBS etc but these will not be applicable when they apply for FLR(M) as I would have applied for FLR(LR). I am confused
Yes but still try your best to attach as much as you can the cohabitation evidences to prove subsisting relationship.x31122010 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 4:49 pmThank you Miss CR001.
I have another confusion.
Reading through the forum, Ive read that when switching from any visa to FLR M, there is no need to provide 2years co-habitation proof. (In my case, the spouse will switch from Tier2PBS to FLR M application from within the UK, as I will apply ILR via LR route.
Is my understanding correct?
Thanks.
Usually the checklist at the end will guide you.x31122010 wrote: ↑Thu Sep 03, 2020 7:29 pmThank you seagull.
Another question.
Both my children (under 18) will be added as dependents to the FLR(M) application with my spouse being the primary applicant. I assume we only need to submit copies of their passport, BRP and birth certificates and nothing else related to them is needed.
x31122010 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:35 pmThank you.
Question on English language.
For FLR(M), within country application, does the applicant need to complete A2 assessment? (This is not a extension but first time application)
We are thinking of going for B1 so it can be re-used for ILR (in Feb'21). That would be the way to go if possible as it saves you time and money down the line.
Any advice?
Thanks.
A1 test is needed for the initial phase of spouse visa but since B1 is considered more advanced despite being almost similar to A1, therefore, doing it (B1) is more wise to reuse it again (if the rules will remain uninterrupted)x31122010 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 05, 2020 5:35 pmThank you.

1. Saying "other" will be fine along with a covering letter as what actually the partner has applied.x31122010 wrote: ↑Sun Sep 06, 2020 6:07 pmHello,
I am doing a dry run of the FLR(M) application and stumbled upon these questions and need some advice.
Question 1:
Partner's basis for living in the UK?
British Citizen
Settled in the UK
In the UK with limited leave as a refugee or a person with humanitarian protection
EEA National with Permanent Residence
Other
--> I should be selecting 'Other' and state that "My Partner has applied for Indefinite Leave to Remain, on DD/MM/YYYY, with case reference number *******".
Am I correct?
Question 2:
Home Office reference number for 'partner'
--> Here I will have to provide the reference number of the ILR application OR can I provide the reference of last via approval (this was in 2018)
Question 3:
Is this the first time you have applied for a partner route, or an extension, with your current partner (including as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner)?
--> We should answer YES because this is the first FLR (M) visa appl. We are in the UK via Tier2 PBS visa.
Question 4:
Please choose the reason you are applying for an extension, this includes if you are switching to a partner visa from another type. (Required)
-First extension as a partner (following an initial period of entry as a partner, or as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner of a settled person)
-Additional extension as a partner
-First application as a partner from within the UK (for example, you are currently in the UK on another type of visa or permission to stay)
-You delayed your travel to the UK by more than 3 months after the issue of a visa and have not yet completed the required amount of time on a partner visa (not including as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner)
-You require more time to meet the Knowledge of Language and Life in the UK requirements to apply for settlement
-You were granted entry as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner, but have not yet married or entered into a civil partnership
-You are applying for any other reason
--> Should be option 3 "First application as a partner from within the UK". All other options are not valid in our case
Thank you.
Yes you can choose that provided willing to supply 12 months of payslips & bank statements as that option until near past probably until now assume itself as if the person is applying under category B despite is under category A.
Regardless of whoever (you or your partner) is the owner it can still be answered as "own"
