Should I apply for dependent visa or ILR please?

Post by jyest » Mon Jun 09, 2014 11:42 pm

Hello,

I need to extend my visa but not sure if I can apply for ILR or it has to be dependent. My situation is that
1. My wife got ILR in 2011 after holding work permit for 5 years
2. I got dependent visa on Apr 2012 (visa valid from Apr 2012 until Sep 2014), my daughter got ILR at the same time. I came to UK in August 2013 and lived in UK until now.

I thought I need to extend my visa as family of settled person, but when checking at https://www.gov.uk/remain-in-uk-family, it also says "You may need to apply in a different way if: you applied for a ‘family of a settled person’ visa before 9 July 2012". Does that mean I can apply for ILR please?

thanks a lot.
Lee

Extend on FLR(M) completing section 7B not 7A of the form. You can apply to settle from 28 days before August 2015.
