Advice required on my ILR elgibility and application
Posted: Sat Jan 08, 2011 10:58 pm
Hi Guys,
In a months time from now I shall be elgible for applying an indefinite leave, therefore I would like to have your advice and guidance in order to have a successful application.
To summarise, I first arrived in UK on 19th Mar-06 on work permit visa and have been in this country since then except for some holiday breaks to India. I always wanted to switch to HSMP, and in Mar-09 I switched to Tier-1 General visa which is valid till Mar-12. The glitch here is that I did not switch in country, instead I had been to India on work assignment for about 2 months and used this as an oppurtunity to switch visa. Would this be a problem? I was been paid in UK for that period, and I can prove it with salary slips & bank statements.
Another aspect of the case is , my wife joined me in UK in May-06 as a work permit dependant, was here till aug-08 and then went back to India to deliver a baby girl. Came back to UK in Jul-09, but this time came on Tier-1 general visa of her own, which was issued in Jan-09 valid until Jan-12. She is still on her own visa. My daughter is dependant on my Wife.
My queries are
1) Will I get an indefinite now, switching visa out of country will it create a problem?
2) Can my wife and daughter get an indefinite along with me?
PLEASE ADVISE
Regards,
Anand
