Hi All,

As I got my ILR on 3rd Feb 2018 with your great support, now I am looking for help applying ILR for my wife and child.

They currently have Tier 2 PBS Dependent visa with the below details

PBS Dependents (Spouse and one Child):
----------------------------------------Valid from-----------Expiry
Tier 2 General (3 Years)----------------13 February 2013-----19 November 2015
Tier 2 General Extension (3 Years)------30 October 2015------02 December 2018




I have following documents prepared for the same day appointment on 05 April 2018

Documents for Spouse/child:
1. SET(O) filled and signed (Spouse as main applicant and child as dependent)
2. Appointment booking and payment confirmation
3. Passport
4. BRP
5. Passport size photos - 2

Documents for Spouse:
1. Life in the UK test Pass notification letter
2. Degree certificate
3. Medium of instruction letter from the university
4. UK Naric certificate confirming the equivalent level of degree Is it RED Route ? Check NAIRC website that it is valid for Visa and Nationality. ( expensive than other)
5. Letter from her detailing reasons for absences though no more than 180 days in 12 month period
Not required, we had close to 250 days and no specific document submitted
6. Marriage CertificateReally not required, I did not submit it or they asked it.
7. Tenancy Agreement of last 3 years with both of our names on it
8. Council tax receipts with both of our names on them
9. Water utility receipts of last 2 years with both of our names on it
10. Gas utility receipts of last 1.5 years with both of our names on it
For Cohabitation documents as Char mentioned earlier, please sort the documents in reverse chronological order placing one type of document every 3-4 months for upto 2 years from date of submission.

Documents for child:
1. Birth Certificate
For my daughter, I did not submit it or they asked it.

Documents from me (ILR holder):
1. Passport and BRP
Original and copies are needed for both.



I have few questions to be clarified as below

Question 1: Is it mandatory for me to be with them for the appointment?
I was ther but I never signed or they even asked me if I were the original ILR holder. Since my kid is 1 year, I went as a help to my wife.
Question 2:
Should I include her payslips and her bank statements as she is working as contractor and director of her limited company?
OR
Should I include my payslips and my bank statements to show the maintainance fund and sign section 13 for their financial support?

I submitted both as rent was going out of my bank account.

Question 3:
Are the documents listed above good enough or anything missing?
Since all documents have both your names on it , the current list looks OK.

Do you have a letter addressed to your child ? If so, just keep it. I did so. Not sure if it is required.


If you could clarify these things, it would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance.


Regards
Kanagavel

Caseworker asked from any letter received from my son's school, unfortunately we didn't have it. But they enquired my son directly about his school name and his age. They are happy with that and made a note of them.

No more questions asked.

Thanks for everyone who helped us preparing documents.

The 5 year continous period is counted differently for main applicant and depedant.

Main applicant it starts from the date of visa issue and for dependants its date of entry

Hello. Would you please be so kind to explain where does this come from?
I've studied "Indefinite leave to remain: calculating continuous period in UK" (https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... riod-in-uk) and it does appear to treat all the applicants in the same way regardless of whether it is a main applicant or a dependant. Am I missing something?

Many thanks,
Dmitrii
