Hello Everyone,

I take this opportunity to appreciate the moderators and the members of this forum for your collaborative effort to help one another. Great Job!

Now to my situation in detail:

I came to UK in Oct/2005 on WP and I think I am eligible for ILR in Oct/2010.
(Never been out of UK in a single stretch of 90 days and total days away is within 180 days limit)

My wife stayed here with me (as WP dependant) from Oct/2005 till Sep/2008 and went to India to deliver our son (born in Dec/2008).
My wife and Son then joined me in Apr/2009.

My wife would have completed more than 4 years in UK (Not the last 2 years continuously though) and my son would not even be 2 years old when I am eligible for ILR.

Is my wife and son eligible for ILR along with my application in Oct/2010?

What are the supporting documents required for ILR so that I can start consolidating them now onwards?

Thanks in advance for your replies.

Cheers!

Will depend on whether you're a Work Permit or a Tier 2 holder before applying for ILR.
Spouses of work permit holders to not need to spend 2 years in the UK as dependent before applying for ILR (196E) but spouses of Tier 2 holders do (319E). Children of either work permit holders (197-198) or Tier 2 holders (319F-J) do not need to spend 2 years in the UK as dependent before applying for ILR.

For documents needed, search the forum as there are numerous posts which spell out the list in detail.

Thank Sushdmehta! We are in T1 General now.

I believe your wife also can apply with you in Oct 2010.
The rule does not explicitly state that you need to stay for continuously for last 2 years.
It says

"(d) The applicant and the Relevant Points Based System Migrant must have been living together in the UK in marriage or civil partnership, or in a relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership, for a period of at least 2 years. "

Hi there

If you are a WP holder any WP hoder dependant do not need to satisfy any residential period, my son and my wife joind me in UK the last two month in my 5 years as a WP holder dependant and they got the ILR with me without any problem, I had a confirmation from the HO before applying for ILR

If you are a tire 1 dependant need to be resident in UK for a minmium period of 2 years, hope these information are any help

Best wishes
