Thank you everyone!! Understand getting an ILR now will probably save me some money and time in the future. However, unfortunately, I don't have enough time left for ILR as they have lost some time in UK between 2020-22 as they were away and got stuck abroad during COVID. That is the reason I did ...

Thank you @Casa. I understand the immigration clock reset part. So, basically, if/when we have to return we would have to rely on Family settlement visa and cannot re-apply for dependant visa? I just checked the charges including NHS surcharge and they seem to be quite high. Also, say we get the ...

Hello, I am a British Citizen. My wife and daughter are on dependant visa currently but we have a family need to move out of the country for an indefinite period. However, we eventually would come back to settle in UK, just don't know when at this stage. My wife and daughter are eligible for ILR as ...

Hello, I possess a British passport, while my wife and child hold Indian passports. We have secured a premium appointment for a Schengen visa on March 18th, 2024, and have already purchased non-refundable flight tickets, which are amendable at no extra cost. My query pertains to the sponsorship of ...

We have finally managed to obtain an appointment next week for our Spain schegen visa. Plan is to visit Spain in Oct 2023. My child and I are on British passports but my spouse and other child are on Indian passports. I seek help w.r.t Visa documentation and process. I have the following queries ...

Just wanted to share an update..... We have now thankfully received the registration certificate on the same application. However, there is no other communication from the Home office (no email/nothing). I'm a bit relieve on the receipt of the certificate and I'm just hoping that the Home office ...

It would be an invalid application because children are only registered, not naturalised which is for adults. You should get a refund of the fee less an admin fee of £25 for "Processing an application which is subsequently rejected as invalid". Hopefully so, many thanks, I've read that too. Really ...

Yes, my mistake may be. I'm pretty sure I searched for MN1 form online and went through GOV website. It would have helped if the online form had this mentioned somewhere.

I've applied for the child separately after my application was approved.

So am I going to lose £1330?

Hello, I was very late to realise that there is a separate MN1 form meant to be used for a child born in UK and went ahead with submission of the form. I think I've used AN form instead and submitted my child's BC (British Citizenship) application through . My child was born in UK and I currently ...

Many thanks @meself2, much appreciated! I was thinking of applying for MEV with a hope that I would get a long term min 1 year VISA, so that I can do my first trip immediately may be in early April'23 and then do the future bookings/plannings later may be in summer between June- Sep'23. Is there any ...

Hello, We are planning to visit France in end of March'23 and currently hold BRP (dependant visa) for UK. We have in the past (2015- 2017) held a Multiple entry Schengen visa. But looking at the form now, I'm bit confused with following rules on https://www.schengenvisainfo.com/schengen-visa-types ...

Thank you again @CR001 for the quick and valuable suggestion.

Hello, My application for British Citizenship has been recently approved and my ceremony is due in April'23. My wife and 10 year old have got dependant visas (skilled/Tier2 based). They have been on dependant visas without any break since year 2015 and have been in UK for a long time. However, they ...

@CR001, many thanks for the advice, much appreciated.

I wanted to wait until my BC is approved. I've now submitted the online MN1 form and awaiting biometrics.

Hello, My 4 year old was born in UK when I was on skilled VISA (Tier2 Gen) in 2018. I've since then acquired ILR and now about to become a British Citizen as I've got my naturalisation application approved but yet to get ceremony done. I was wondering that now that my Naturalisation is also ...

Any advice on this please?

Hello, After waiting for 3 months on my children's PBS dependant child application, I have finally received some communication from the home office and it asked me to pay the adjustment amount for the increased IHS fee for two of my dependant children.However, I made a mistake of checking it before ...

For everyone's benefit, I have submitted two separate applications, one for my spouse and other for my two children. Paid all the IHS and application fees, received acknowledgement emails.I've also uploaded all the documentation. However, the application for children is now asking me to book a ...

Anyone who may have faced similar issues, may please kindly share their information please, many thanks.

And also thanks to everyone who has answered my previous queries - much appreciated!

So, I tried creating two separate applications, one for my spouse and one for both of my children. However, while creating application for my children, I noticed that the form is allowing to add a 'PBS dependant partner' as another applicant and showing the fees correctly for all 3 applicants ...

I've stumbled upon this link weblink removed by moderator . I think I am facing same issue. Is this true? I'm surprised as to how a bug as critical as this can stay on for so long. Anyway, if this is true, do I have to apply for my children again separately? If so what form should I use? Has anyone ...

I've tried form2 i.e as Dependant Partner and added details of my children as co-applications, but the IHS form says "You don't have any dependants". Any idea what I may have missed? The form looks all correct to me. Please suggest, my application is stuck at this point, thanks for any help!

Sorry, one more question - If I want to apply for the PBS dependant visa extensions for my wife and children, do I have to do it through two separate applications - one for spouse and one for children , as I don't see the form for PBS dependant partner allowing the addition of any dependant children ...
