There is NO absence limit for spouse visa holders!!

Is there no other way for me to apply early?

No there is not. The only applicants who dont have to wait 12 months are children under 18 and people married to British citizens.

We all are dependant upon my father

There is no dependency concept for citizenship. Each applicant regardles of age, must meet the requirements on the own.

You will also need the English B1 and LIUK tests for when you can apply once you have held ilr for 12 months.

There is no absence limit for spouse visa holders.

When dis6 you return to the uk?

How did you acquire ILR? Did you submit an English language test for your ILR? I acquired ILR in 2013, back then i do not think i submitted any sort of proof that i knew english English language B1 test and Life in the UK test was required in 2013 for ILR for any applicant over the age of 18. Did y...

If OP has lived here since age 8 and now in university, likely they either had ILE or got ILR a few years ago before age 18.

Just for information, unless you follow a two step process (each with a fee - UKVI and SA Consular Service) first before applying for British citizenship, you will lose your South African citizenship again once you become British.

Is there anything if can change standard service to priority service. No, not after you have submitted an application in the UK. If some one think I have done any mistake I am happy to cancel the application and apply again. That is all you can do but you still might NOT get the Super Priority opti...

Her visa expires in 2027!!! Travel before that date. Her visa has been granted for the full duration. She wont get a brp card.

When can I apply for an ILR?

5 years minus 28 days from the date of your spouse visa

Does the time spent (6 months) on ICT Longterm count towards my 5 years for ILR?

No it does not

It doesn't matter as her visa expires next week anyway and she will still be an overstayer regardless of when you submitt the MN1.

You cannot expedite the brp.

Nothing you need to do. She simply travels when ready before the visa expires.

There is no restriction of working hours in your visa

If you are quoting a guidance, post the link.

What you are reading doesn’t apply to a child who has an entitlement to register as British

I have yet to see a refusal in the same circumstances as yours.

You are overthinking!!

A uk born child has an entitlment to register. It doeant matter if their visa has expired.

Yes they are overstayer but it has no effect on the MN1 application.

Whag it doea affect is their free nhs use, which they wont have if they have no visa.

Yes return. No need to certify.

Yes. Advise to make certified copies before sending them back - if you have children whose citizenship relied on your ILR it has been recommended on this forum not to return them at all. No, I mean if they were British at birth through you having ILR before they were born. OPs children were born ab...

Hi I am seeking guidance/clarity on this as I keep getting conflicting answers and no clear guidance that I could find on the gov website. I have ILR.
