Re: Confusion around Set 0/M

The earliest date of ILR eligibility is first visa issue date + 5 years - 28 days
The date of application could be earlier: How to apply early and benefit from the date of the ILR decision ?

Re: ILR eligibility for dependants

The date of entry to the UK is irrelevant. The qualifying period counts from the first visa issue date for all of you. I assume you all got visas together, so you can all apply together

More information: How to apply early and benefit from the date of the ILR decision ?

Re: Indefinite Leave to Remain/BPR

The BRP application can take up to 6 months, this has always been the case. The BRP card will also not going to be used from the end of the year as they will be phased out completely.

See: Information on eVisas as all BPRs will be phased out from 1st Jan 2025

Re: ILR I screwed up-my last extension type. This time I'm 2.5 years early and thought I was at 10 year mark

Under the 10-year route, any time spent under the family route will count so it does not matter if you were or are under the 5-year route or 10-year route, so any period leave granted via FLR(M) or FLR(FP) can be combined. It is only under the 5-year route that you need to have had 60 months under t...

Re: ILR - Long Residence - Dependent Child

Children do not have a min residence requirement and can settle when both parents settle. You apply using SET(LR) and after your ILR is granted, you will apply for the child using form SET(F). The child can stay under the current visa until expiry without any issues, regardless of your status.

No. You do NOT need any other reasons to stay in the UK. If you answer YES to that question on the form, you get a request to submit documents which will confuse you

Thank you for the reply. I will take earliest start date 21st oct in this case. View and prove your immigration status: get a share code website shows 2nd BRP issue date as valid from date instead of earliest approval or 1st BRP issue date. Is it expected because I use latest BRP to login? That sho...

Re: ILR Eligibility

You need to take the earliest date. Visa approval date in most cases is the same as the date on your visa sticker or BRP issue date. However, for administrative reasons, the date of your document could be a later date as a visa or BRP document cannot be backdated. So if your visa was approved last w...

Re: ILR for a Depedent Medical Doctor

"Tier 1 or Global Talent dependants" is correct. Under the GTV rules for ILR, the visa route of a dependant is unimportant, so no switch is necessary for them at all. Her ILR eligibility is based on your previous status as a GTV holder and she will apply to get ILR via the same route. This is accord...

Thanks Zimba,

It's really helpful.

For example, new SOC code '2135’ (Cyber Security Professionals) shows a lower going rate as below
£35,100 (£18.00 per hour).
So, is it correct that my salary should be equal to or exceed this rate to meet the requirements?
Correct

There is nothing in the rules that says such a situation leads to refusal. Being incorrectly paid benefits is not your issue.
