Living Together

Post by ILR-1982 » Tue Sep 15, 2020 6:42 pm

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am tier 2 dependant holder and have been living in UK for 5 years. My first grant of tier 2 dependant visa is from 2015-2018 and my second grant of tier 2 dependant visa is from 2018-2021. I would like to apply for indefinite leave to remain. One of the requirement is as follow:

You must also have been living with your partner in the UK for at least:
- 5 years if you applied for your current visa on or after 9 July 2012

Please could you advise what documents are required in order to prove my 5 years living with my husband?
So far I do only have joint name water bills for 5 year. I do not have other 5 year long joint name documents.
Please could you advise? Thank you.

Is your spouse also applying for ILR or already holding ILR?

Presumably your husband got ilr based on 5 years tier 2 and not 10 years long residence?

You need two years evidence of cohabitation to prove suabsisting relationship. You need items from 3 to 6 different sources either in joint names or addressed to each of individually, spread evenly for every 3 to 4 months.

Things like utility bills, tenancy agreement, council tax, TV licence,HMRC letters, NHS letters etc etc.

Child Dependant ILR

Post by ILR-1982 » Thu Sep 17, 2020 6:32 am

Dear Sir/Madam,

My husband got his Indefinte Leave to Remain under Tier 2 general (5 year route) in June 2020.
I have been living in UK with my husband for 5 years together with my 2 children (both under 10 years old). All of us holding Tier 2 dependant visa, our first grant of Tier 2 dependant is from 2015-2018 and second grant of Tier 2 dependant is from 2018 -2021. My questions are as below:

1. Would it be okay for me to apply for my Indefinite Leave to remain first, after some time (while my ILR application still under processing) I then apply for ILR for my 2 children? Would this cause any problem?

2. Would it be okay for all of us (2 children and myself) submit ILR application at the same time? Would this cause any problem?

3. Have you heard of the possibility of rise of ILR application fee in the near future?

I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you.

1. Yes you can apply first, no issue, provided you apply for children before their visa expire. It is simpler to apply together though.

2. You can apply together, it is simpler to do this and only requires one form.

3. Fees increase in April each year. Unclear what you have heard or where you heard it!

Dear CR001,

Many thanks for your prompt reply.

Apart from the 2 children I mentioned earlier, I had a new born baby in April 2020. The baby was born in England and his birth certificate was issued by local council in July 2020. Having my husband only who got indefinite leave to remain (June 2020) at this moment (I haven't got indefinite leave to remain yet), I have following questions:

1. Does my new born baby eligible to do naturalization at the moment?

2. Can we do naturalization for the baby after I got my Indefinite Leave to Remain, this would probably after 6 month time? When would be the latest that I have to do naturalization for the baby?
(Having to do naturalization for the baby in later stage can ease our financial burden)

I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

1. Does my new born baby eligible to do naturalization at the moment?
Children are registered as British. Only adults are Naturalised. Yes, once either parent has ILR you can register the UK born child as British.
2. Can we do naturalization for the baby after I got my Indefinite Leave to Remain, this would probably after 6 month time? When would be the latest that I have to do naturalization for the baby?
(Having to do naturalization for the baby in later stage can ease our financial burden)
The UK born child has an entitlement to register as British at any time once EITHER parent has been granted ILR. There is no 'deadline' other than it must be done before the childs 18th birthday.

Please also do not as British citizenship questions in your iLR topic or the ILR sub forum as they are not relevant here. You should ask these questions in the British citizenship sub forum please.

Dear Sir/Madam,

Further to the previous question, I am now filling up the SET(O) form to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain for myself and 2 children. All of us are holding Tier 2 - dependant Visa, and my husband got Indefinite Leave to Remain in June 2020 under 5 year route Tier 2(General). While filling up the SET(O) form, I feel strange about the options given by the following question:

Which visa is (my husband name) applying for or been granted?
Choose the route that (my husband name) has applied for or been granted, even if their application is still being processed.

The options are as follow:
- Tier 2 (General) visa
- Tier 2 (Sportperson) visa
- Tier 2 (Minister of Religion) visa
- Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) visa - Long-term Staff
- Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) visa - Short-term Staff
- Tier 2 (Intra-company Transfer) visa - Graduate Trainee

As my husband has got indefinite leave to remain, and there is no option for indefinite leave to remain. This makes me feel worrying that I could have filling up the wrong form. Please could you explain to me about this? I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

Thank you for your response.

I just about to complete the SET(O) form for ILR application.

At the end of the application form, there is a requirement of the proof of financial support.

As a Tier 2 Dependent along with 2 children, please could you advise how many months of bank statement is required? How much saving they expect to see?

I look forward to hearing from you.

Thank you.

None. There is no maintenance requirement for PBS dependents. Which question are you referring to exactly??

All you need is 2 years of cohabitation documents for yourself with your partner.

Sorry if my question was confusing.

I am now filling up the SET(O) form to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain for myself and 2 children. All of us are holding Tier 2 - dependant Visa, and my husband got Indefinite Leave to Remain in June 2020 under 5 year route Tier 2(General). At the end of the SET(O) form, one of the required documents is as below:

''Consent form for the Home Office to request verification checks on (my husband's name) for joint accounts or third party support''

Based on the required document as above, I am not sure if the home office would like to check if we have enough fund to be supported? If so, please could you advise how many months of bank statements and how much saving is expected?

I look forward to hearing from you.
Many Thanks

No. There is a consent form with 3 parts. You will sign Part 1. Your husband will sign Part 2 for you. I am assuming you know you have to submit cohabitation documents. So because of those joint documents, he will sign this part.

Application Fees(Pay Separately)

Post by ILR-1982 » Sat Sep 26, 2020 10:42 am

Dear Sir/Madam,

I filled up the Set(O) form to applied for indefinite leave to remain for myself alongside with my 2 Children. All of us are under Tier 2 dependant Visa. The total payments are GBP7200++, and I am only able to pay with 2 different credit cards since this is a big chunk of money. Prior to that, I rang home office and I have been informed that I am able to do so. However, when I about to start paying, I do not have any option to make payments separately for different applicants. Perhaps, I missed out something? My questions are as below:

(1) Please could you advise how to pay separately for one ILR application? Is that because of setting issue ? (e.g I should use different email addresses for myself and my children rather than just one email address for all of us?)

(2) Suppose I submit my ILR application, then made payment for myself. I then subsequently submit my 2 children ILR application and made payment. In other words, I made these 2 applications at the same day. Please could you advise if there is any risk? (e.g the home office happen to be firstly processing my 2 children application without knowing that I am applying and lead to rejection?)

Many thanks for your advice.

You all are in one account. I am afraid you will have to make payment with ONE credit/debit card. You can not split the payments unless you have two different accounts and apply separately which is not advisable.
