Her visa is expiring on 26/10/13 same as mine, thanks

Hats off Sir for such a comprehensive post, i would like to thank you and appreciate your effort, time and explanation. Now, I fully understand why UKBA have replied as I completely overlooked the text in the policy guidance. Thank you so much for pointing it out. You have given me maximum hope. I d...

No, she was Tier 1 dependant since 2009 and before that student visa not my dependant So 319E(d)(ii)(c) does not apply anyway - she has never had leave as dependant in any other (non-PBS) immigration category. The term "dependant" is generally used to refer to spouse or civil partner, unmarried or ...

Has your wife ever applied for leave as a dependant in any immigration category other than as a "PBS dependant"? Do note that HSMP between Nov-2006 and 2008 is considered "PBS category". Thanks very much, I really appreciate your time and responses. No, she was Tier 1 dependant since 2009 and befor...

I have read it through and responded only after that. 319E(d)(i)(b) states under the Rules in place before 9 July 2012, and since then has had continuous leave as the Partner of that Relevant Points based System Migrant, the specified period is 2 years AIUI, continuous leave = continuous immigratio...

Ok, thanks I will do that, thanks very much for your time, I really appreciate it

Just something to add here from " Family members of points-based system migrants -This guidance is based on the Immigration Rules Combining Leave For ILR (Page 33) Can you shed some light on this? Pretty clear that the dependant must have had immigration status of spouse, civil partner, unmarried o...

I will certainly do that, I am still waiting for response from UKBA, thanks sushdmehta and Vinny, I am just trying to see how far I can get with it

As Vinny has already stated, the reference to "spouse or civil partner, unmarried or same-gender partner" in 319E(d)(ii)(c) refers to the "immigration status" of the person as "spouse or civil partner, unmarried or same-gender partner" rather than just their "relationship" as "spouse or civil partn...

One more query please, from what I understand the 5 years rule has been introduced for testing genuineness of the relationship... is there a legal way to challenge the rule once I have comoleted 5 years in UK in all visas category? Hi sophaeyah, My case is not exactly similar to you but it is relev...

Questions: - Can he apply Tier1 dependent in the UK? (i.e. switch from PSW to Tier1 dependent) I think No, unfortunately needs to seek EC from India - Can he apply ILR along with her in Feb2014? (as 5 year rule started in July2012, but 2 year still applies for people already in the UK?) That is als...

Hi Vinny or anyone who is in the same boat, I really want an opinion and to share some thoughts through your experience. I have a plan to see Level 2 OISC registered solicitor but I have seen so many people says the same thing that solicitors are just trying to get money. I was actually planning to ...

However, E-ILRP isn't applicable here because E-ILRP.1.3 isn't applicable for applications under 319E . Ok, thanks for the information, I can understand this is relevant to settled/British/in the UK with refugee leave or as a person with humanitarian protection whereas 319 E is relevant to PBS depe...

E-ILRP.1.4 is probably significant if your partner runs off with someone else? Then the previous periods with you cannot be included for your ex-partner's ILR. My wife is with me since we got married in 2006, so that means E-ILRP.1.4 is relevant and case worker should calculate based on previous le...

Yes, you are right, thanks for pointing that out, it should be more precise and clear as per the above document. Thanks God it is just applicable for Main applicant :) Also, I have found this (not sure it is relevant or not): Section E-ILRP: Eligibility for indefinite leave to remain as a partner st...

Thank you very much Vinny, I really appreciate your response. I will certainly do that and keep updating. I will also refer that "Combining leave for ILR" previously quoted in my earlier post.


Kind regards

Can you shed some light on this?

Thanks Vinny, this is what more concerns me, I am really worried, I was thinking my wife student visa (when she was not my dependant) will not count towards the probabtionary period for 5 years but I was quite hopeful her first entry clearance as my dependant in January 2009 will be ok to count towa...

Hi Vinny, Thank you very much for your inputs. I am just worried as per reply from ukba clearly states that they will not consider my wife initial entry clearance and they said 5 years will be started from her last entry clearance, is there any thing I can do or the rule is clear and I have to wait ...

Hi, My case is not exactly similar to you both but it is relevant, you can read my query here . I earlier thought that the leave as your dependant spouse/Unmarried partner issued earlier will be counted towards probationary period but reply below says its not. I did an email to "SettlementOpsPolicy@...

If anyone can please reply.
