Re: CoVID concession for ILR for dependent

So I’m on the key question that this whole concern sits…when did you first enter the UK? (This is the date you entered the UK when the period of stay you are basing this application on started). I’m guessing this is where we put our application date of 11/08/2020. Even though we were in the uk on T4 ...

Re: CoVID concession for ILR for dependent

Thanks Zimba,

I plan to make the application for me and my husband this week. Although I’m sure I’m covered by the concession, I’m quite anxious about whether he is. I will be doing priority and hope for the best. Thanks so much, you’re ever so helpful.

Re: CoVID concession for ILR for dependent

I guess it should be self explanatory but it sadly isn’t. They just ask for ‘from’ date and ‘to’ date.

Re: CoVID concession for ILR for dependent

Thanks Zimba,

His wife had ILR already so it seems a slightly different case to me. We were on t4 and T4D before the t2 and t2d applications in Covid 11/8/20.

CoVID concession for ILR for dependent

Hi,

Does the Covid concession for ILR that states that time awaiting decision counts towards qualifying period apply to dependent too. I applied together with my husband so can we apply for ilr together under same clause. Thanks in advance.

Re: What visa to apply for my son when I apply for ILR?

My husband (his dad) is also applying with me for ILR at the same time. We both started T2SWV/dependent same date so due for ILR together. Our concern is our son’s status at the time we apply.

Re: What visa to apply for my son when I apply for ILR?

But he has not lived all his life in the UK, he was away for a while and returned. He currently has a visa so may risk overstaying at the expiry in September. Is there a visa category I can hinge him on for the time being till I get mine back? Something like visa extension on his current t2visa ...

Re: Uk born Tier 2 dependant child ILR

Thanks for your prompt reply.

For clarification, does this imply I can apply for ILR for him at the same time as myself?
Or Do I wait for my ILR to come out before applying for his ILR (by this time his BRP would have expired already and he'll be overstaying)?

Uk born Tier 2 dependant child ILR

Hello All, At the point of applying for my ILR, my dependant son will have about 7 months to his 5 year mark. Please kindly advice me on next visa for him at that point.
