Hi CR001, Do we have to provide evidence of english language again for citizenship even after proving the English language requirement during our ILR application ?? Could you please clarify this ??

For online payslips you can attach a letter from the HR on a company letter pad stating that the attached payslip from month - month are genuine & get them signed on all the ps. I had done the same for my application.

Thanks for clarifying CR001.

Hi, Me and my wife recently got our ILR from tier 2 General. My 4 year old ( UK born ) is still on tier 2 general dependent valid till Jan 2017.

Hi All, Finally got my ILR yesterday, thanks to this lovely forum which is filled with lots of useful information & experiences. Special thanks to CR001 for prompt & accurate response.

I am in the similar situation as 1664.

I think you can apply for ILR from the time you entered the UK i.e March or may be 28 day before the date of entry. Your stay in country on tier 1 general counts for your 5 years continuous residency.

Senior expects please comment.

1) No

2) If you are talking about Maintenance fund, since your sponsor is a A rated company, they can tick the option to support maintenance fund in your COS

3) Will need to apply as a dependent if you planning to travel outside UK with her

4) Yes

Anyone please ??

Hi Vinny/ Senior members ... any thoughts on this please ??

No Vinny. He has not mentioned about any prev rejections.

Just to add to the above, I entered on 1st Apr searched jus bs for 3 weeks and eventually found an offer. After 3 weeks I went back to India and came back on 29th May 2011 & joined. ( ard 35 days )
Does this matter at all ??

Sorry to hear about your situation. Not sure if I could be of any help.

Do we know if this is going to affect only tier 2 ICT or tier 2 general as well??

Does any one has answers to pasha2013's question ? pasha2013 did you manage to get an answer for this ??

Yes your wife will also need to apply with you again.Normally she will also get it for the same period

You should be applying for in-country form.In the colum where it ask for proof of previous leave to remain or similar questions which are not relevant to the child born here, just mention "Child born in UK"

I did the same for my daughter.

Yes, you are eligible
