Dear Experts,

This is immensely informative and helpful forum. Many thanks for all your support. Request you to please help as appropriate.

My Query:

1. I am employed on old work permit since October 2008 with same employer and have straightforward case.
2. I am getting eligible for ILR this September 2013 .
3. I got married in December 2011 in India and my wife joined me here in December 2011.
4. She has spent around 1 year 09 months with me in UK.
5. Does she qualifies for ILR as she is WP dependent and not PBS? Or we will need to apply for ?
6.We could not find our Marriage certificate , but we got our wedding card and photos as proof .Please advise on this ...........

Many thanks.

Hi,

As per my knowledge it is good to have marriage certificate as proof but if you don't have try to get one from India. ( sometimes UKBA don"t accept marriage or invitation card)

2. as per your wife stay statement till today its only

Result: 604 days
It is 604 days from the start date to the end date, but not including the end date

Or 1 year, 7 months, 26 days excluding the end date

so it is better to wait ( 2yrs is mandatory requirement)

I hope it helps

Hi I think, read this, you are on old workpermit, your wife doesn't need to be here for 2 years

Based on my previous post your wife is eligible as you are on old work permit, please read For WP holders (pre-PBS) and HSMP JR migrants covered by HSMP JRs, all dependants qualify for ILR along with main applicant irrespective of length of stay in UK (196D).
