The lower going rate applies for your SOC which is now set at £35,800 (£18.36 per hour)

The choice is yours. There are two separate routes and one has financial requirements. You'd better apply when eligible at the earliest

I covered this a long time ago here: Online applications, UKVCAS appointments & BRP queries - Read before you post

Yes, you may apply and see if the UKVI exercises such discretion. At the end of the day, you do not normally qualify and so it is up to you to apply or not

Your son can be included in the same application using SET(M) form. Absences do NOT matter, whether long or short.

I also wanted to add that on the Public funds section for my husband, we selected Yes for Child benefit. Then the next questions is how much my hisband is receiving, we have put £0, and its asking for me then we have put the amount I am receiving for child benefit after my ILR. Are we doing the rig...

Thanks for reply. My question should be like this - after completing thier 7 years in uk in May 2026 will both daughters will be eligible for private life route? So that I can plan uk stay accordingly ? No. There is no automatic 7-year path to ILR for children. The dependant children of migrant wor...

There was NO difference between PBS dependant routes, they were all the same dependant visa route. She can apply with you

For the family route, it starts from the first date of entry, so that date + 5 years - 28 days

Thank you for your response. According to my calculations, she will be eligible for ILR on 24/06/2024 after completing 60 months minus 28 days on her current visa. What would you recommend? Should she apply with us and delay the biometrics until her eligibility date, or should she apply separately ...

This is being answred multiple times a day here now. Any discretion is up to the UKVI. We cannot tell you whether they exercise discretion or not

1. Yes. The increase will not apply to those who already hold a visa under Appendix FM and who are on the five-year partner route before 11 April 2024. They will only need to meet the current £18,600 per year income threshold when they make a further application. 2. Yes 3. Very likely will face no i...

Hi Zimba , Thanks very much for your reply. But in my ILR application they specifically asked my Wife's Employer -company sponsor licence number. Does it mean they will check her employment status online? Thanks BABU Your application is based on her previous status as a skilled worker. After ILR sh...

Hi Can someone help me at this stage. My wife Lead applicant recently received ILR on March Ist week 2024 through SKilled worker route. I applied for ILR on March 3rd Week as a Dependent and appeared for Biometrics on March 23 with Priority application. The case worker asked me more documents on Ap...

Did you read the guide or not ??
Your time spent under the family route is quite short, so you are very unlikely to secure ILR. What is your immigration history ?? Did you marry him recently ?? You may be able to be granted leave under other routes but getting ILR might not be possible

Switching has no effect on your 10 year lawful residence as advised. Just note that the rules covering the 10 year route are changing. Do you have uninterrupted years of lawful residence up until now without any periods of overstaying ??

Make sure to submit her application BEFORE her visa expiry. This is not a matter of explaining. The rules will render her an overstayer if she applies after her visa expiry. Apply now and explain later.

This is upto the UKVI, you need to apply and ask for discretion

This is up to the UKVI. Any discretion is up to them as there is no hard and fast rule on this

They do not have to get an exact number. When above 540 days, then they just can refuse the application.

Some calculations do not look right to me. e.g.: 08-Oct-23 11-Oct-23 3 days 32 17-Jun-23 20-Jun-23 3 days 33 The first line should be 9th and 10th so it is two days The second line should be 18th and 19th, so again two days Can you double-check your calculations? Only exclude the departure and entry...

You clearly do not read what has been covered above, the annualised calculation applies ONLY to the last 6 months of earnings !!! No. You need to meet both parts 1 and 2 to qualify under cat B. For part 1, the annulised income calculations will be based on max of the last 6 months . You could have b...

Each job will be annualised separately and then the total combined. You also need to satisfy the other requirement that shows you earned in total the min required salary over the last 12 months. I covered this in detail above and you can see this in the guide !!

There are no guarantees and the ILR sometimes can take up to 6 months. UKVI probably is investigating something and will get back to you when they are done
