Hi,
I got HSMP visa in Feb 2007. I came to UK in April 2007.
My husband also came here at same time as my dependent.
We have to apply for ILR in Feb 2012. I heard that for dependent partners we need to prove that we are staying together for the last two years before to get ILR for both of us. But, is it true for married partners as well? For married partner, just marriage cetificate is not enough?

Thanks in advance for advice.

When applying for settlement as spouse / partner of a settled person / British citizen, and not when applying for settlement as dependent of HSMP / PBS migrant.

It is.

Hi,
thank you for the reply.
I have another doubt regarding ILR for our kids.
We have two kids, one is 3 years old and the other is 7 months old.
As I and my husband work, we kept our kids in India with our parents.
We have to apply for ILR in Feb 2012.
We are planning to bring our kids here two or three months before applying for ILR. Will this be ok? Or is there any rule that our kids should stay with us here for certain period of time before applying for ILR.

Thank you.

Should be okay (319J).

Where were they born?

Hi,
Thank you for the reply.
They are born here in UK only.

Hi,
I am really happy to know this.
I have seen the application form MN1 and found that they are asking to fill details of the time periods when the child is out of country and reasons for it.

I am quiet worried about this because our children are in India with our parents since they are 1 to 2 months old. (As I have to go back to job).
Will this be a problem.
Also what should we state in the reasons column when we fill in this section in form MN1
