Hi Raghu,

Were u able to findout any document regarding passport validity? I am in a slightly different situation and looking for passport validity information.

Hi Friends, I need guidance. I got ILR in March-2010, my passport is expiring in Apr-2011. I am going to India on 15 Dec 2010 and will be coming back on 5-Jan-2011 for vacation. I thought of getting my passport renewed after returning back to UK. I got to know from people that when I enter UK my pas...

To be on safer side I would suggest you include your original qualification docs

Hi, Myself, wife and kid we all 3 got ILR in the month of Mar 2010. I want to know whether we can apply for child benefit? I have seen the hmrc website and I think we can apply for Child Benefit, can anyone confirm the same please? I am working whereas my wife isn't, so on whose name should we claim...

FYI I got ILR with scanned copy of P60 for all the 5 years....they were just printouts on plain a4 paper. Case worker was happy with them.....

hi, in my case the case worker asked for P60 for all the 5 yrs. FYI I applied for ILR with WP+Tier1 ...hope this helps.

I wud suggest you contact your employer and get P60.

could you pls point me the link where it is written you must have entry clearance as the spouse/dependant of tier 1 general to apply for ILR together. I don't remember seeing this.

If you have lived with ur spouse for atleast 2 yrs in UK together then yes you can apply for ILR along with him.

As per UK law every company has to issue P60, ask ur employer. Alternatively provide the payslips for all these 5 years and see if u can convince case worker.

Experts share your comments pls....

First of all thank you very much for all the help, this forum rocks.... I got ILR for me/wife/kid from croydon PEO yesterday. Mine was WP+Tier1 with 5 yrs and less than 180 days absence.. Docs asked my caseworker 1) Application 2) Photos 3) Passports 4) all 5 yrs P60's 5) UK KOL test 6) 3 months ban...

Hi guys, Thank you all for sharing the info. I got ILR for myself/Wife/kid yesterday at Croydon PEO. So the requirement is only that the spouse should live with you in UK for 2 years and not necessarily be in Tier1 dependant visa.

hi cash123, as diago pointed she should have applied for dependant visa within 28 days using FLR-M form once you have received ILR? did this not happen? When have u got ILR?

Yes it's definitely required to book a family appointment even though you are not planning to take your family to PEO.

Is there any link/document which confirms this, its just I want to make it sure so I can go to bed peacefully....
