Re: ILR Eligibility Query – Extended Absence from the UK Due to Exceptional Circumstances

1. IHS is calculated for visa duration. You cannot choose to pay less, if you do, it will delay the application and you will be asked to pay the rest.

2. There is only one skilled dependent visa form yes.

3. B1 English is usually valid for 2 years. Liuk doesn't expire.

An extension of a Skilled Worker dependent visa is for 3 years, as stated in the immigration rules.

You cannot choose to pay for less visa validity.

Re: UK new born child to ILR holder parents

Your child's claim to citizenship is based on YOUR ILR and NOT your British citizenship achieved AFTER the child was born. You have already been advised of this extremely crucial point. The passport form is used for ALL claims to citizenship. It doesn't therefore mean you must submit every document ...

Re: Who to sign Part III of Skilled Worker Visa's verification checks consent form?

@JANESMITH023 can you please keep ALL your questions in ONE topic, this one. It is not necessary to start a new topic with every question you have. It becomes tiring having to keep merging your questions into one topic/thread.

Ignore part 3 of the consent form.

For ILR based on long residence, you do NOT need any employer documents.

Re: 7 years child route chances

Your daughter will follow the same visa path as your husband. The 7 year rule is for a child that holds a qualifying visa based on private life. She doesn't hold this visa. The 7 year rule is not automatic. How old is your daughter? If your husband loses his job, why can he not find another sponsor ...

Many thanks, that was very helpful. I would be grateful if you could kindly advise on the following question: Can I apply for my dependant based on the date their visa vignette was issued (03/08/2020), or does the five-year start from the date of entry into the UK (20/09/2020)?

Re: Application and Referees

Your choice what you choose to do.

They are two completely separate and independent application processes. The cost of the visa and ihs fee for a 3 year visa will likely be more than the nhs charges.

Once the child is British, his dependent visa becomes void/invalid.
