Hi Team - Appreciate any reply even if it is case this my query has been answered earlier and nothing has changed from previous response...
Just gives me a confidence to move ahead.

Thanks for your understanding

Hi Experts - Please advice on this case.. It is little urgent considering little time left in visa expiry.
Appreciate any inputs on the above,

Hi CR001 - I have a query to check with you. As now my family is in the country (entered UK on 24th June, 2020), Is it OK for them to apply for ILR without any risk to their application outcome? Little Background ## Their 5 year leave was granted with the valid from date 19/06/2015 and valid until 1...

Thanks CR001 for your response. Appreciate that.

Thanks for your responses. Appreciate that. Couple of queries out of those. ## What makes their ILR case little tricky - they were not in the country for last 22 months(approx 2 years) and were out of country at the time when I applied for ILR. They will be in country by end of this week. I understa...

When was their first dependent visa issued? ## It was issued in 2015. There are 12 months in a year. When exactly were the dependent visas issued?? Why do they not qualify for ILR yet if their visas were issued in 2015 at some point? ## As mentioned I have already applied for ILR on 2nd June, 2020 ...

When was their first dependent visa issued? ## It was issued in 2015. PBS dependents get a 3 year extension if you applied for or have ilr. This is clearly stated in the immigration rules. ## As mentioned I have already applied for ILR on 2nd June, 2020 and awaiting bio-metric slot and decision. See...

Hi Team - I wanted to discuss my situation with you to get your expert advice. --> Me and my family initially got the PBS Tier 2 general and dependent visa for 5 years. --> I have applied for my ILR on 2nd June,2020 and awaiting decision but since my family were not eligible so they will be applying...

Thanks Zimba for your replies. Will keep an eye on the situation and update the post incase I have any further queries. Thanks once again.

if I get the ILR - yes - they are expected to be on family visa route but what if they apply at the time when my ILR application outcome is yet to come? Can they apply for PBS Dependent VISA during that grey period (from the time I apply my ILR till I get the outcome -- considering only standard ser...

You are right. There are no border restrictions in UK but there are in India as airspace is closed for commercial flights. When you say they should apply PBS dependant visa before my visa expiry does that means me applying for ILR has no bearing on that? My understanding was that if I apply for ILR ...

All in the family has the same visa expiry date - 18th July, 2020 and we all had the 5 years visa starting in 2015.
I am planning to apply for my ILR on 22 May, 2020 to get the process started. Family is still in India as they couldn't able to travel before border restrictions.

Hi CR001 - Due to change in situation because of covid the question in the new post is different from this original post. Hence I started the new thread.
I am happy for us to discuss the new queries here in this thread also if this is fine with moderators.

Hi - I have a situation where I (main applicant) will be applying for ILR in May'20 end and my family who currently have tier 2 dependent visa are in India for past 1.5 years and their PBS dependent will expire in July, 2020. They were scheduled to travel back to UK but couldn't able to travel due t...

Hi - I have a little similar situation where I (main applicant) will be applying for ILR in May'20 end and my family who currently have tier 2 dependent visa are in India for past 1.5 years and their PBS dependent will expire in July, 2020. With the Covid 19 situation and border restrictions - seems...

Thanks for all the inputs.

Thanks experts for all your help so far. I have a 2 queries(after reading the responses on other threads). In my case, as dependents entered UK on 17th Sept, 2015 (but visa start date is 19th June, 2015) a) does this absence affect their eligibility criteria to apply for ILR? Considering absence rul...

Hi Zimba – Thanks once again for your response but this time I am little confused. When you say “assuming they have completed their qualifying period too” what do we mean by that? I am assuming you mean completing 5 years from Visa issue date (as absences don’t affect dependents where visa issue dat...

** Re-posting the previous post with little additions to make it readable as a whole ** Thanks Zimba for coming back on this. Appreciate that. So from what I have understood - Dependents are also eligible to apply for ILR at the same time as of main applicant and their absence won't affect as PBS d...

Thanks Zimba for coming back on this. Appreciate that. So from what I have understood - Dependents are also eligible to apply for ILR at the same time as of main applicant and their absence won't affect as PBS dependant visa was issued before 11th Jan, 2018. Is that correct? And if yes, then what ab...

Dear Experts - Appreciate any advice on my case. Any inputs will help me immensely.
