My mrs came in uk March 10 under tier 1 visa, Can I include into my ilr application.

If yes, Please give me a link so i can print out and take with me at PEO appointment.

sorry if this question has been asked before.

I called many times home office customer number and sometimes they say yes and sometimes NO.

Please help and thanks in advance.

Just the last question.

Is that JD policy will be enough document to show to case worker as my mrs does not need to say in uk for min 2 years?

thanks again

My HSMP was stamped 3 Nov 2006(arrived 18 nov.2006)
extended - Tier(G) till 18 nov 2011
My husband joined me Oct. 2010 as Tier1 dependant .His visa is also till 18 nov 2011.Going apply in October at PEO
Print out as much docs and successful cases as possible(whatever u find from different sources)
write a covering letter -try to be very reasonable and persuasive i your letter.
(i have mentioned it in my post here already-"Dependant HSMP pre Nov 2006")
Could u please share ur experience if u go first? i will also write if i manage it first. :)

this letter i wrote to HO ledy who was not correct ti her answer:
Dear xxx,
I tend to think that my husband falls under the rules which are stated in :"Indefinite Leave to Remain in closed categories" -valid from 11 August 2011.
I am not PBS migrant , My HSMP is a closed visa category. On the page 98 of the above document it is said that my spouse must be assessed under par. 196D of the immigration rules.
( but not under paragraph 319A-319K for the spouses of PBS Tier 1 migrants).

In this pagagraph( 196D) there is no 2 years cohabitation requirement for a spose.

Moreover this requirement ( 2 year cohabitation)was introduced recently . HSMP JR are not subject to any retrospective changes of the immigration rules ,Am I right?.

Could you please have a closer look at my case.
I will be very grateful for your response.
Thank you

Hi Fora,

Thanks for the information.

Just to inform you that I called Ali Bukhari Law Chambers and spoke to him. He did confirm that my wife does not need to be in uk for 2 years as my case is under HSMP JD review.

I think you are right.... It depends on CW and in my observation, it is also depends what you say and how you say to cw with your explanation.

Please keep in touch and help each others.

thanks again for your help.

Hi Fora and Mastiger82 - Are you applying under Set(o) HSMP JR post April 06, but pre November 06, currently on a Tier 1 visa?

Can you tell me which box you checked on Section 3? Section A or B? And why?

Please see my previous post:

Thank you for your help!

I did not fill in the SET(O) application yet.
I tend to think : in sec.3 B -Tier 1 (General) Migrant applying under the terms of the HSMP Forum Judicial Review Policy Document

Concerning your wife i am not sure she will be eligible for ILR together with u.
I think she must either switch to your dependant visa before u apply for ILR or apply separately when her WP visa permits her ILR. Otherwise,according to your both visas and documents she is nobody to u.
But this is my view

Dear Mastiger82,
I received a lot of telephone confirmations from UKBA that me and my husband do not need 2 years cohabitation,but when i wrote my quiery to HO i received negative response(see above).
That is why we need an official letter from somebody in UKBA confirming that we do not need to prove 2 years (to take this letter to PEO)
That's what i am trying to get somehow.

HI Fora,

I was thinking to write letter to HOme Office, However I feel that If I write to them and they reply me with negetive answer, and they might put this on the system which could stop or refuse my wife ILR when I apply in due course.

I might take risk applyking together and try to convince with the JD review policy and the immigration rule 196E.

With regards to telephone customer serivce people, sometimes they do not know what they are talking about....


what do you suggest?

Hi Fora - thanks for your answers. I've heard this from two people on the forum now, that she cannot apply as a dependent if she's not already a dependent on my Tier 1 visa. If I hadn't asked here I would have no clue that was a prerequisite, do you know where i could find an explanation for this? Thank you again.

Dear Mastiger82.
I managed to get this letter today
Dear xxx,

Thank you for your reply.

Please accept my sincere apologies for the initial misinterpretation of your enquiry.

Please be advised that with regards to the HSMP dependant, under the terms of the HSMP Forum Ltd High Court judgment, although they are technically a PBS dependant this has only occurred because the main applicant was pushed into this type of leave as the result of the 2006 Rules changes. As such they should be treated as a HSMP dependant and and will be eligible to apply for Indefinite Leave to Remain in line with the main applicant rather than being required to complete two years first as is required under the Tier 1 (General) of the Point Based System.

I hope that this information will be of assistance to you.

Yours sincerely ,
