A quick and possibly an easy question to a very tricky question on the PBS Dependent ILR form (online). As per the new rule any absence from UK before 11 Jan 2018 should not be counted toward 180 days allowable absences which is clear and I get it. But the tricky is the below question.

1. Does the period of stay on which this application was based include any leave granted since 11 January 2018?

What will the answer to this question for my dependents i.e. YES or NO

2. Have you had any absences from the UK during any leave granted since 11 January 2018?

But if I select yes then the above question appears.

Please advise if the answer to question 1 is YES or NO.

Dear respected board members,

I have a small question and I am sure someone here will be able to answer it for me.

I applied for ILR in Aug 2018 and got it approved successfully. I have 2 under 18 kids who were eligible to apply same time as me but i chose not to apply ILR for them and my wife as long as they have a valid PBS dependent visa. I am now in process of applying ILR for all three of them and have read somewhere that;

If your children are on dependant visas, they will need to apply for ILR at the same time as you. Failure to do so will result in them losing their dependant visa status and critically, they would have to wait five years before they become eligible for ILR.

Is above statement true in my case?

I applied for ILR through Tier 2 dependent route.

Many thanks in advance and looking forward to hearing your valued opinion.

Dear Board Members,

A quick and possibly an easy question to a very tricky question on the PBS Dependent ILR form (online). As per the new rule any absence from UK before 11 Jan 2018 should not be counted toward 180 days allowable absences which is clear and I get it. But the tricky is the below question.

Their immigration history is as follows

First entry clearance: 29 May 2013 until 02 June 2016

Extension application: 25 May 2016 until 11 May 2019

As you can see from the above timelines, I believe the answer to the above question will be NO but when I select NO on the form the below question does not come up which I believe is relevant to my application since my wife was out of UK from 25 July 2018 to 29 Aug 2018.

2. Have you had any absences from the UK during any leave granted since 11 January 2018?

But if I select yes then the above question appears.

Please advise if the answer to question 1 is YES or NO.

Many thanks
Manish

Thanks Manish for a quick response.

I've come to the UK on the same dates as you and in a similr situation.

Just another quick question, my wife is a PBS dependent, cn she also apply for ILR with me (i.e. within 28 days prior to the visa start date ) or she needs to wait until 5 years since the date of entry in the UK?

1. As has been answered many times on the forum, pbs dependents start counting from visa issue date!!

2. You really should keep your questions on your ilr application in your own topic instead of tagging onto other members threads.
