1) Child Benefit: As far as I know you ARE eligible to apply for child benefit, on the basis that you dont have any visa restrictions now. Just make sure the ILR BRP doesn't say "No access to public funds", or something along those lines. I applied for it and currently receiving the benefit. 2) If y...
Thanks for the wishes guys! I wouldnt test that theory of not taking cohabitation documents, not at the risk of £1500. The first thing the guy doing the registration asked us for at my wife's application was for our marriage licence/certificate. So to me that sounds to be the most important. Anyway,...
My gut instinct response would be no since its not easy to prove they HAVENT been tampered with, if you see my point. That's the reason only original, posted, Bank Statements are acceptable, as well as the fact that they have the address written on them. So get the utility company to post you the bi...
It seems the child will have valid leave, since s/he entered with their mother who apparently has valid leave till next year. So as soon as the father receives his settlement the child qualifies for citizenship. I see your point of child not being born here though, so it might indeed be complicated ...
Wouldnt it be more sensible to not apply for any visa for the child and then apply for citizenship for the child as soon as you've got your ILR? It'll work out cheaper as well.
Thanks a lot for your help Amber! I went to Cardiff PEO today and my wife's application for Settlement was approved! Hurray!! The staff were quite courteous, the least you can expect when you pay ~£1500, and the application was processed in about 1.5-2hours. Documents I took: Cohabitation documents ...
Payslips and Bank statements, for 3 months - done! But I'm still not clear on how to tackle Section 11. According to form you have to provide documents under both 11A and 11B-11V (even though the form doesnt actually go to 11V - idiots!). Should I just select the "Others" category and write a letter...
You do NOT have to declare anything about your child. You only have to declare people you want to get visas for. My friend who has two children and is about to qualify for ILR wont declare either of his children on his SET(o) and will directly apply for their Citizenship, which should save him a cou...
Great, Thanks! Those three things are sorted, mostly - just need to get off my butt and gather the cohabitation stuff. So I dont need to prove finances or show any payslips etc? How about Section 11? There's no selection for PBS Dependent/Spouse. Section 11A filled in as normal, but there's no secon...

Tier1G09, You can absolutely apply after waiting several months, which is what I did. I only applied for my daughter's citizenship after she was like 10 months old. Prior to that she didnt have any passport. Note: When you fill in their Nationality in any forms they would still be considered Indian,...
Tier1G09, First, congratulations! Secondly coming to the important part, you are right! This is exactly what I did. When my daughter was born, I was only days away from qualifying for ILR so I didnt get her a visa. I waited to qualify, got my ILR and then applied for her Citizenship. BUT, even thoug...
Hi I received my Settlement visa, from TIER 2 GENERAL, in March but my wife hadnt qualified then so didnt include her in the application and left her with PBS Dependent visa. She now qualifies. So I had a few questions on that. 1) Is the form to be used SET (O)? - This is the form I used for my appl...
Your case sounds quite complicated. It seems your sister-in-law has been living here without leave for several months, is that correct?
OR has that been during this appeals process?
Do you have a Tenancy Agreement with both your names on? And how about Council Tax? That should normally have names of all adults living at a property, but obviously not necessary. You could get your Estate Agent/Landlord to write you a letter to say that the two of you have been staying at their pr...
IELTS is quite a broad test. There are several components to it that DONT need to be tested for a spouse visa. You may be better off doing a Trinity College exam: http://englishexamcentres.co.uk/b1-esol-entry-level-3.html (Friend recommended this, so I'm sure its legitimate) OR http://www.theenglish...
Oh yes, I do apologise! The form for PBS Dependents to apply for ILR is indeed Set(O), just read through the form again. Good thing I saw this post, otherwise I would have lost all that money! (Its happened to a friend of mine, he applied for his wife using the wrong form and UKBA charged him the mo...
The form for ILR Dependents is Set(M), pretty sure its not Set(O). If your dependents had applied at the same time as you then you could have all applied on the same SET(O) form but not in this case. Evidence wise, they have to come from at least 3 different sources covering a 2year period. Aim for ...
They do charge a £100 appointment fee although that's only lost if you miss your appointment without a valid reason. So it's possible the change may not cost you anything.
As mentioned above, he is in breach of his visa conditions and subject to removal. What he can do to avoid it is not include his National Insurance number on his ILR application, since that is the only thing tying him to his earnings and something that the Home Office can check. Although doing that ...
