Correct

thank you Zimba. Does it make any difference whether I or my partner are employed/ our financial status at all? Foe example, she just turned a freelancer and I am changing jobs with a few months' break in between.

She is still under Tier 1 PBS dependant route and will remain so. Ignore other things. https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/dependant-family-members-of-tier-1-migrants thank you. If I understand correctly, the fee for in the UK application is £1277 + NHS surcharge for three years + the biomet...

Extension under the PBS route is always for 3 years, it cannot be shorter. You only need to show maintenance for her Thank you Zimba. I am a bit lost as so many changes were made. I am reading on Gov UK and it is confusing between a family visa, spouse visa etc. I can not seem to find the exact gui...

Hi members, My partner is on the PBS Dependent visa, which she got 4 years ago when I was on T1 Entrepreneur. Since then I became a BC and she needs another extension for one year to complete her 5 years on this route. I am confused what are the new requirements for this, and whether there is an opt...

She has absence limits for any leave granted after 11th Jan 2018. Not more than 180 days on rolling basis. Also, she will need to provide last 2 years of cohabitation evidence of living in UK before she can apply ILR once she completes 5 years minus 28 days counting from initial visa issue date. Sh...

Hi everyone, Quick questions and will appreciate your help. My wife got a PBS Dependent visa in Sep 2017. I was on T1 visa back then. I got my ILR in October 2018 (based on 5 years in T1), so my wife extended her PBS dependent for a further 3 years, valid until October 2021. She will complete her 5 ...

Hi there, counting the absence days out of the UK for the 10 year period. First old passport is lost, is there any way to get an accurate number of absences during the first couple of years? Also, what if the days get understated by mistake on the application and you apply for super premium same day...

She never exceeded 180 days single absence, but over 10 years she was away for around 640 days. Some of that was due to a 2 months' medical treatment in her home country, which can be proven. She is likely to be unsuccessful and be refused with 640 days absence, regardless of what evidence you have...

In case this is refused (there is a bit more than 540 days absence in 10 years preceding) on the same/next day, There is no discretion on exceeding the absence. The absence limit is very clearly stated in the immigration rules. If she is over 540 days, it will be refused. This is also separate to t...

Hi guys, Hope you are all doing well. Quick question: my partner is planning to apply for ILR (LR) in August 2020, using premium/same day service. In case this is refused (there is a bit more than 540 days absence in 10 years preceding) on the same/next day, what happens next: - Do we get the right ...

I will update the forum on the outcomes if we decide to go ahead.

There haven't been any on the forum. Some have had exceptional compassionate reasons and still been refused. What were the reasons for excessive absence? You do realise you lose the ilr fee if refused. thank you. Those are on the basis of mental health issues, and largest chunk of absence (160 days...

many thanks CR001! Are there known cases when applying on 10 years LR route, there was around 100 days over allowed 540 across 10 years, and successful? She currently has 650 days absence. No trips over 180 days in one go. Thank you, SR If the absence is over 540 days in the whole 10 years, she won...

Yes if all the 3 year requirements are met. Hi CR001, thanks for this. I was thinking it would be 5 years? (450 days total before applying for BC after naturalisation, and no more than 90 days in last year away, and being in country at the same date 5 years ago). Or is it 3 years in her case? thank...

Hello members,

I became a BC last year and my wife is applying for 10y LR ILR in August this year.

Can she apply straight away for naturalisation on getting the ILR, without waiting 1 year, since we are married? (Given all other usual conditions are met for naturalisation)?

thanks, SR
