Renewal of dependent ILR biometric card
Posted: Mon Jul 10, 2017 5:35 am
Hello,
Has anyone has similar or come across experience to that below and would like to share with us? Our daughters, 16 and 14, need to renew their biometric residence card before 30 August 2017. Applications need to be made before the end of July. Their cards only had a five-year validity, whereas we are for 10 years. When looking at the renewal documents we have become concerned about whether they will be eligible to have their cards renewed.
Our circumstances: my husband is seconded to a British firm in China since 2013, and has been with them since 2007, we have property in England and maintain paying NI every month. His original 3 year contract has been extended twice, now till July 2018, after which we will return. My children and I last visited England in Feb 2016. My husband has established ongoing connection with the UK in the form of his substantive contract, visiting doctors when he is in the UK, and so on, but there appears little to support the case for our daughters renewal except that they are our dependents. There is nothing in the documentation I have read to suggest that is a reason to renew a dependent’s residence card where the dependent has spent considerable time outside the UK.
We will be back in England on the 23 of July, please do advise us or share experience.
Many thanks in advance,
Malang~indah.
