This forum was so helpful to got my ILR, my wife visa extend and my daughters MN1 visa. Especially, Vinny and CR001.
I got ILR on 22/04/2015 and now a British Citizen.I'm in ned of help again for my wife.

My wife's 1st PBS dependen visa issued in India on 16/07/13 arrival date in Uk on 09/09/2013 and visa expiry on 14/05/15.

Then I extended again on PBS dependent as a Tier 1 general issue date 18/06/2015 in Uk and will expire on 18/06/2018.

Now my question is:
1. If I take the vissa issue date 16 July 2013 then the 5 years will be on 16 July 2018. Taking 28 days early application in to account she would be eligible to apply 19 June 2018. Is it correct?

2. Visa expiry is 18th June 2018. so, when shall I apply and what would be the best option for me?

Can you please advise seniors and moderators. I'm really in tense and don't know what to do now? Many thanks in Advance.

Yes

2. Visa expiry is 18th June 2018. so, when shall I apply and what would be the best option for me?

Apply by post before visa expiry and the ILR will be granted when the application is processed

Thank you so much Zimba88. Its really peace of mind. I really wonder at still little confusion for me as the visa will expire on 18th June and the qualify period is on 19th June before the 28 days earlier. so, If I apply say by 15th Junethen would it be acceptable. As According to 28 days earlier it should have been 19th June. I'm worring bythe fact that they count the date when the application submitted. Or shall I submit directly on 18th June in the morning. your advise will be highly appreciated. Many thanks

No. The date that is the most beneficial to the applicant will be considered.

just a tip... if you use the online date calculator, like this https://www.timeanddate.com/date/dateadd.html
, the date on 28 days earlier would be 18 June.

Dear Ianrezy
Many thanks for your reply. Yes, I think it would be the best idea. Are you sure we are qualified on 18th June. Can you please double check for me and let me know. I will prepare for the premium then. It would be highly appreciated.

Also can you please share any primum success stories like this so that I can follow. However, I’m looking in the forum still didn’t get any. Many thanks again

Some successes.

Thanks Vinny, I'm really happy to see your posts. I just viewed your recent announcements regarding fees increment. ILR is £2297 now, it's crazy.

Lovely to see the success story, I think I'm going to do the same as apply by post and then Option (2) as per your guidance on success links provided. Just one questions Vinny, as per your experience in my case which option will be better: Premium appointment or apply by post and then option (2).

My wife's 1st PBS dependen visa issued in India on 16/07/13 arrival date in Uk on 09/09/2013 and visa expiry on 14/05/15.

Then I extended again on PBS dependent as a Tier 1 general issue date 18/06/2015 in Uk and will expire on 18/06/2018.

Now my question is:

2. Visa expiry is 18th June 2018. so, when shall I apply and what would be the best option for me?

My apologies for not responding in time. I had a busy weekend.
Based on the information you provided.

When you add 5 Years to your visa issue date = 16 July 2018. See calculator below

https://www.timeanddate.com/date/datead ... =&ad=&rec=

When you subtract 28 days from 16 July 2018 = 18 June 2018. See calculator below

https://www.timeanddate.com/date/datead ... ad=28&rec=

I can assure you based on the calculator that you can apply for premium on the date of your Visa expiry. Anyone/moderator that have a different opinion can please clarify.

I applied through the premium.

Best of luck.

Dear Ianrezy

Thanks a million for this. this is so clear to me now. Yes, going for Premium then. 16th and 17th weekends so 18th on Monday. Hopefully they do not change my appointments as I read in the forum that someone got messages suddenly from HO that due to staff training they changed the appointment. Finger crossed.

Can you also please tell me is there any financial requirements like while I did my ILR had to show £20,000 + earning p.a. Is it the case here in my wife as well or no need as its on PBS dependent.

Even if they change your appointment, Home office will be able to consider your out of time application because it will have been no fault of yours.

There is no financial requirement for dependant.
Make sure you add your passport and ILR BRP/ British passport as part of her application.

Best of luck

So, I will apply for her ILR through premium service on 18/06/2018

You will still need UKNaric to confirm the Degree Certificate.
I am not sure what kind of UKNaric letter you will need.
I will let others help you on this but I am sure you will need one.

Dear Moderators

can you please confirm me the above please?

Dear all,

I'm just waiting for the NARIK Documents and rest all ready.

Just to clarify one thing from you all please guide.

1. I'm having child benefit only in my name, will this effect my wife's ILR?
2. My wife using child vouchers from her company, so which goes direct to child-minder before tax from her salary. Will this effect her ILR?

Please reply as soon as you get my message. I will be eagerly awaiting for this as this doesn't let me sleep well.
many thanks
