There is no hard and fast rule. I submitted a print screen of 'search results' of emails exchanged with my wife between 'x' and 'y' dates, when she was away from the UK. I am not sure about whatsapp history download option, but I think you can submit a screen grab of some of the chat history - just ...

I think there is no definite list of proofs. Just anything that satisfies case worker that you were in a relationship.

We submitted a snapshot of mails exchanged during this time and my flight tickets to visit my wife and child.

Hope it goes well

Super, thank you very much

Thank you alexmdev.

Just for my piece of mind, have you personally done that or any other member who have done that? or can you point me to some link that suggests so.

Also if it is ok to do so, is it a must to do the citizenship ceremony too at the same council?

Cheers

Thank you, CR001. You are super-quick, as always!

On:

(2) I will wait for others views on NDRS

(5) I assume you are saying 'Yes' to the first-part of my question - that we can use the same form for registering a non-UK born child?

Hi all, I have few more weeks to be eligible for BC (in 5 years +1 year ILR route). My preference is to apply for BC and passport (JCAP) at the same time Just want to clarify the below in advance of that: (1) Is my understanding correct that the date of application to BC is the date when we actually...

Pleased to report our daughter got her ILR using SET F form.

No questions asked.

Thank you every one for your inputs, particularly the moderators

I booked appointment for Set (0) for my 3 year old's ILR premium service appointment. I have just realized that I will need to actually use Set (F) form - as child is under 18. Will this create any problem at the time of registering/submitting the application form at the premium service center? If y...

Thank you, CR001. The only reason for not applying together was to not take a chance (in the worst case something goes wrong with my wife's application - then both will be rejected) given the ridiculous amount of fees that HO charges per applicant (aka day light robbery). My daughter's ILR appointme...

Hi all, Very pleased to let you know that my wife's ILR was approved in spite of all of the above - applied 27 days before completion of 5 years (based on visa stamp date), more than 180 days out of the UK (before 11 Jan 2018), extended visa from out of country (but before the expiry of the previous...

Hi, Please see above for full background of our case. My wife's ILR Application is next week, so wanted to double check that there was no change of rules that will impact the decision. i.e. the dependent can apply 28 days before her entry date? and staying out of the country for more than an year (b...

New fees from 6th Apr 2018 are published at - https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... _final.pdf

ILR fees going up by £98

Sorry, entry date was 13 JUNE 2013 (Not "Jan"). When trying to book appointment, what should we select as the category? Is it 'dependent' or 'tier 2'? I am planning to apply for our daughter separately to that of my wife. Will this cause any issue? If ok, is the 'category' going to be the same as my...

Thanks a lot, CR001.

My wife's visa was stamped on 13 Jan 2013, so she can apply 28 days early i.e. on 17 May 2018? Correct?

Does the 5-year period for a tier 2 dependent still counted from the date of entry to the UK? I read in some recent posts by others that their applications were successful even if they based it on their visa issue date ? Is there any official guidance on this? On a side note, I notice that there are...

Regarding maintenance, below is what is quoted at https://www.gov.uk/settle-in-the-uk/y/you-have-a-work-visa/tier-2-general-visa: So wondering what is 'appropriate'/recommended ? Eligibility for partners Your partner may qualify if all of the following apply: they have permission to be in the UK as ...

Hi All, Sorry for reviving this thread again, as am planning to book appointment for my partner shortly, and have noticed there are some changes to '180 days rule' lately. Can you please advise if she is still eligible to apply in June 2018 taking into account the below? As per official guidance at ...

Thank you CR001, very helpful as ever

Can you also please advise: (1) if we can apply for ILR 28 days early for dependents as well ? If we have to apply for ILR for child at the same time as my wife, does the child also need to complete 5 years by that time? (2) Regarding BC for child, can we request for 'discretion' - assuming we get a...

Thank you very much CR001

I also want to take this opportunity to clarify my child's scenario: My daughter (born outside the UK) first came to the UK in Jan 2016, and her current visa is valid until Oct 2018. I got my ILR in Nov 2017 and assuming my wife too gets her ILR in say June 2018, can we directly apply for citizenshi...

Thank you very much, Zimba.

Just to confirm, is 28 days rule applicable for dependents as well?

Hi all, I have recently received my ILR (through Tier 2 General 5 years route) and want to clarify my wife's scenario. She came to the UK on tier 2 dependent visa in July 2013 and her visa was valid until Jan 2016. She left the UK in Oct 2014 for maternity reasons She applied for 2nd entry clearance...

Hi all, Below is my wife's situation: Received 1st tier 2 dependent visa - June 2013 valid until Jan, 2016 Entered the UK 1st time - July 2013 Left the UK for maternity reasons - Oct 2014 Main applicant changed jobs in - Feb 2015 and again in Sep 2015; As I understand from other forums, dependent ne...
