Yes. They would each apply on their own form and meet all the requirements individually.1) Can I just confirm had my wife and son stayed in UK for 10 years as dependents they could have applied directly for ILR via long residence route without applying for FLR(m)?
Yes.2) Is it only because they have not stayed in UK for 10 years they have to apply for FLR(m)?
Yes, 2 x 2.5 year FLR(M) visas before they can apply for ILR. No there is no other shorter route. Even long residence will only be met in September/October 2026. FLR(M) x 2 will be sooner.3) Also does this mean that I need to get FLR(m) for them 2 times before they can actually apply for ILR? Is there another route where they can get this sooner?
Correct, however if they have travel plans out of the UK, they must switch to FLR(M) first as they risk being refused entry to the UK if they try to remain on their current visa. Also the sooner they switch, the sooner their 5 year ILR clock will start.4) Since their current visa is till 2022, this means I don't need to get FLR(m) done for them till then even if I get my ILR in the meantime? Is this assumption correct?
You can, however note that if your ILR fails, their FLR(M) will automatically fail and you will lose all your fees paid. It is simply to wait for your ILR provided they have enough time left of their visas to apply after your ILR is granted.
None if this is required for SET LR.1) Evidence you have to prove the relationship with spouse (for example marriage certificates), and correspondence addressed either to you jointly, or in both of your names, or addressed individually to you at the same address, to cover the last two years
Do I need to send original marriage certificate or a copy?
For correspondence addressed to us jointly, can I send council tax bill copy?
No originals are sent. Everything is uploaded digitally. This is your BRP yes.2) Current biometric residence permit for me
I am assuming I need to send my original BRP. Right?
4) Document(s) showing spouse's immigration status such as a passport, biometric residence card, or vignette
For 3) and 4), do I need to send my wife's and son's original passport and BRPs?
Nothing you need to send.5) Documents supporting my other reasons to stay in the UK
Any idea what kind of document I can send for this?
None of this is required.6) Any evidence you have to prove the relationship with your child / children (for example full birth certificates) and proof of financial contributions to the child's well-being or general evidence demonstrating concern and interest in the child
Do I need to send original birth certificate or a copy?
What kind of document can i use for financial contribution to the child's well being or general evidence demonstrating concern and interest in the child?
7) All previous passports, travel documents or national identity cards that you have used to travel to or remain in the UK
I am assuming this is the originals of all my previous passports and not a copy. Right? Anything else also required here?
No.In addition to this do I need to send any other document(s) like bank statements, etc?
You need to upload degree certificate and naric English AND comparable assesment.What about my UK Naric letter for English and Degree? Do I need to send that?
UK Naric is write now issuing this document only via mail and not posting it. So will that PDF suffice(print out) or do I need to wait for them to post it to me?
.What about Life in UK test? Do I need to send something to them for it like URN reference or there is no need? The result is only online and no letter received for it
IHS is NOT payable for ILR via any route. What form exactly are you completing?? Make sure you are completing SET LR and the FLR LR form.Finally as I was about to pay, it is asking me for a IHS number. I didn't go to the IHS website because I thought I will ask my query here first. Will I be required to pay IHS for ILR via long residency? If yes, how much?
Yes. Super priority and priority service is currently suspended due to the backlog of applications during lockdown.Is there only standard service available now?
You cant at the moment.If not, how to apply for priority service?
Anywhere between 8 weeks and 6 months.Any idea how much time standard service will take?
Better to apply now if you can meet the financial requirementBunny101 wrote: ↑Fri Oct 16, 2020 6:46 pmHi,
Firstly many thanks for all the help. Because of all the help this forum offered I got my ILR successful mail today.
Now the next steps for me is to apply FLR(m) for my spouse and child as they are on PBS dependent visa(as mentioned above). I will be applying for it very soon but because of some financial constraints want to wait for sometime as their visa expires in 2022.
They aren't chained up with tier 2 sponsor like you were, but ideally they should switch into flrm asap.
