We are planning to submit an ILR application for all of us by end of this month.
Can you please help me with the below ILR questionaries?
Thank you so much in advance.
Q1: Can you please suggest the start date when we can submit the online ILR application including my dependents all together?
- Is it the first entry date(Main: 11-June-2016 & Dependent: 22-June-2016) or the First BRP issue date (Main:02-June-2016, Dependent:22-June-2016) that we need to consider when calculating the less than 28 days rule?
I believe the first BRP date i.e. 22-June-2016 so our earliest ILR application date is on 24/05/2021. Am I right?
Q2: When did you first enter the UK?
For the main applicant:
- Is it the first stamp date in Passport on Tier 2 Visa ( First 3 yrs)?
- Is it the Issue date of the BRP card on a Tier 2 Visa (First 3 yrs)?
- Is it the first stamp date in the Passport /BRP Issue date of the previous Visa ( Tier 2 ICT dependent)?
For Dependent:
- Is it the Issue date of the BRP card on a Tier 2 Visa (First 3 yrs)? (As my dependent switched to Tier 2 General dependent visa in the UK - No stamping on passport)
For Child Dependent:
- Is it a birth date or a BRP Issue date?
The below Q3 & Q4 questions were asked only for dependent but not for the main applicant.
Q3: Does the period of stay on which this application was based include any leave granted since 11 January 2018?
- Based on the above scenario should we selected Yes or NO?
Q4: Have you had any absences from the UK during any leave granted since 11 January 2018?
- Should my dependent need to mention absences from the UK since 11-Jan-2018?
- Should I select this option as Yes?
Q5: Cohabiation Documents
- Is it valid to submit online Bank statements ( individual bank statements for the last 2 years as it has the current house address)

- Are there any other documents we need to provide?
Q6: Is my child eligible for ILR ( as he is not on a dependent visa for 5 years)?
Q7: Do we need to prove sufficient funds in bank accounts for maintenance as we submitted for previous Tier 2 and extension?
