Q1. Date of first arrival.

Q2. Last 5 years.

Q3. All visas and ILR.

They qualify for ILR from the 29th April, which is 27th May minus 28. That is only 36 working days from 7th March (not counting weekends or bank holidays). https://www.timeanddate.com/date/workdays.html?d1=29&m1=04&y1=2026&d2=07&m2=03&y2=2026&ti=on& Which is why I said apply for their ILR on the 6th ...

You can apply for their extensions at the same time you apply for ILR or after you apply. It is a 3 year extension. If you apply for them using standard service, you can vary their applications to ILR completing form SET O before a decision is made on the extension application. You will have to pay ...

Apply before their visas expire for ILR, either all of you together or you first and then dependents and delay their biometrics until they are within 28 days before 27th May.

They have 45 working days to enroll biometrics.

What was the initial visa issue date of their initial visa?

Note that there is NO such visa called 'ILR Dependent'!!

Your children need ILR. There is no special route for them to British citizenship.

There have been a few MN1 refusals in the last few months posted on the forum because the children didn't have ILR.

Yes that's fine if that is what they are.

You are being paranoid. They dont care about your explanation etc. Simply complete the form with the minimal details required. Nothing more.

Your family need to apply for British citizenship first, once they all have ILR, before they can apply for a British passport. Two separate processes.

Children born abroad, if born before you became British, need ILR first as well.

It is cohabitation evidence you need to submit, to prove subsisting relationship. Different thing completely.

There is no minimum residency or absence limit for spouse visa holders.

Skilled Worker route qualifying period starts from.visa issue date.

Different visa routes have different rules. Best to focus on only your route rather what might apply to routes you are not on

Completely overthinking this. UkVI dont care about your explanations, the referee simply needs to meet the requirements.

You simply need to state friend or employer or work colleague! You dont need to explain anything

Presumably your dependents visas also expired when your last visa did. If so, you are all overstayers once admin review was refused and therefore have no right to work or free NHS etc.

It is very unusual for a Skilled Worker visa to take this long. Have you follow up with the sponsoring employer?

Super priority is a UKVI service and is also not a guaranteed service.

Super priority has nothing to do with the biometrics appointment or provider

Your dependents have held a dependent visa since 2017, why do you think they haven't achieved 5 years for ilr??

You don't need a new CoS for a dependent visa extension, you use your current cos details in the form. If you apply for an extension for your dependents, their visa will have the same expiry date as your visa, nothing more or longer than that. Your daughter cannot be leading an independent life ...

https://visas-immigration.service.gov.uk/documents/Parents_Consent.pdf YES Is this the correct consent form link? Also, which doc is need to proof 3 years residency for us and the children? For adults it's the passport - NO proof of residency needed for children. Is it similar to FLR (M) to provide ...

1. Does it matter if the forms are printed double-sided or not? No, but remember to scan appropriately so you don't miss out the back of each page. 2. I'm also kind of confused as to who's the person that's supposed to write on the back of the photos? Is it the applicant, or the referee? You don't ...

Someone said get a bonafide certificate from school will be better if my child cannot find the teacher as referee. Should I get this from school? or Actually it is not a necessary doc? That's not a "referee". UKVI are aware of the issue and will accept referees with other professions, if they know ...

Spouse visa is what you need and you must meet all the requirments, ie financial/income, wife needs English test, all applicants need TB testing. You also need to prove adequate accommodation. https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse If either of you have been married before, you need proof ...
