ILR - Dependants Application Query
Posted: Wed Oct 18, 2023 2:36 pm
Hi, I have applied for ILR for myself after completing 5 year (3 yrs on Tier 2 General and 2 Yrs Skilled Worker Visa) and now applying for my dependants and have few queries related to that.
1.) Dependant 1 (Wife) : Application Form for Wife
a) In the question - The person you are joining or accompanying, I'm giving my Name. However, there is another question - Which visa is (my Name) applying for or been granted? - There is no option to select ILR here, I'm hoping i'm selecting Skilled Worker Visa, and giving my VAF number which was printed when Tier 2 General Visa was granted. Or shall i just say no on providing VAF number?
b) In the other documents to be provided, it say that we need to provide "Declaration signed by (My Name not Applicant) to confirm consent for the Home Office to request verification checks. I do not see any form/declaration yet which can be downloaded for me to sign - does it appear after submitting the application? Or I'm doing anything wrong?
2.) Dependant 2 (son) :
My son is born in UK and have been on dependant Visa. His Visa expires on 28th Oct, and i will not receive my BRP (of ILR) by then. Do i need to extend his Visa until I receive my BRP, or I can let his Visa expire and apply for his naturalization once I receive my BRP. I will get decision before his Visa expires but may not receive the BRPs by then. I'm worried if it is ok for his Visa to expire.
Thanks.
