10 Years ILR Application, 2 references and wife visa question

Post by Randhawa18 » Fri Jan 01, 2021 10:58 pm

Hi,
I have recently applied for ILR on basis of 10 Years period. My last visa was Tier 1 Graduate Entrepreneur. I have 2 questions here.

1. In application they require 2 British person names as reference. I have 1 british berson but other person is on ILR MEANS SETTLED. Is settled person acceptable or must provide british person name.

2. My wife came to UK last year on tier-1 dependent visa which will expire end of this month. Can i apply her visa with my 10years based ILR application or i need to wait for my ILR then apply for her. If i can apply then which visa category will apply on her and what are the requirements.

Kindly, give me detailed answer on it, please

Thanks

1. There is no referee for ilr. What form are you completing and what exactly is the question in the form?? You seem to be confusing the citizenship form with the set LR form.

2. She has to apply for FLR M and meet the English and financial requirements. She must apply before her current visa expires. If your ilr fails, her FLR M will also fail.

That is NOT asking for a referee!!! It is a general question. Simply anssere truthfully. It does not state anywhere that you need 2 British referees!!

The form is asking if you have ANY friends or family in your home country or any country you have lived. You don't seem to be understanding the question. It is not a referee the form is asking for.

You do NOT have to specify their names. This is a general question. In details you can simply say “relatives” “friends” or “family friends” etc (if any).

I’m guessing the question may relate to 276B(ii)
(b) strength of connections in the United Kingdom; and
(c) personal history, including character, conduct, associations and employment record; and

Have you already attended your biomterics appointment?

You cannot "upgrade" after you have applied.

If you cancel after biomterics, you lose the fee.

All you can do now is wait.
