Dependent visa extension

[Sumirayees]

My husband is presently in entrepreneur visa. Me and children are in dependent visa.

All our visa expires on June 2 2016. My hus visa was first issued on 28th June 2006. He came to uk on 29th July 2006. So he is planning to apply for ILR on the basis of 10 year stay.

My visa was first issued on November 2012. So I cannot apply for ILR along with him. Is it possible for me and children to apply to extend our dependent visa along with his or has to wait his result. As all our visa expires on June 2nd it is impossible to wait for result, we will have to leave. Also cannot apply for one day ILR service for husband as there is a 56 days difference if considering the entry to uk for 10 year. It is also at risk.

Is there any option to for me and children to remain back?My son is studying in reception class here.

Thanks for the reply. So I will have to change my visa. Can I know whether my children can apply for ILR with him? Or is it only possible when I get it ?

Applications for ILR based on long residence does not permit dependents to apply for ILR.

Both you and the children will have to switch to FLR(M) and wait 5 years before you qualify for ILR on Set(M).

Thanks for replying
Can I extend my dependent visa after my hus gets ILR ? I will have to leave uk till then. But think it's better because after 1 year I can become ILR too on completing 5 years if it's possible.

[CR001]

You will have to switch your visa to FLR(M) once your partner is granted ILR. You cannot extend your current visa if your partner applies for ILR based on long residence.

Once you are granted FLR(M), you have to wait another 5 years before you will qualify for ILR. The time you have spent in the UK as Tier 1 G dependent will not count or be added to this new 5 year residence requirement.

[Sumirayees]

Thanks for all your reply. Can I please know whether there is any other options as the FLR(M) requires lots of financial requirements.

[Sumirayees]

Can I please also know about the set(F) visa for children under 18? I am not working.

[CR001]

Set(F) is not applicable as far as I am aware because your husband obtained ILR based on long residence and your children have only been resident for 3 years. They will qualify for ILR when you do, which is once they have been on FLR(M) for 5 years.

You will need to switch to FLR(M) or if you cannot meet the financial requirement, you can apply on FLR(FP) but it is a longer route to ILR (10 years - 4 x 2.5 year visas).

[Sumirayees]

But no such requirements are specified as far as i read from google searches. My one child is 4 n two are 2 yrs old

[CR001]

Were both your children born abroad?

[Sumirayees]

Yes 3 of them are born in india

[CR001]

Your children will qualify for ILR when you do. There is no quicker route for them. Children born abroad usually follow and stay on the same path as the 'less privileged' parent (you) in terms of immigration.

You will all need to switch to FLR(M) or FLR(FP) because your spouse got ILR based on long residence.

You will need to switch to FLR(M) or if you cannot meet the financial requirement, you can apply on FLR(FP) but it is a longer route to ILR (10 years - 4 x 2.5 year visas).

I believe that the FLR(FP) route to settlement (ILR) would currently be 5 years if all residence has been legal, 10 years if not.

Always get confused with this one, thought it was 10 years as partner route

You're right Char. I missed the point that they would be applying as a partner not a parent. 10 year route it is.

[Sumirayees]

Thanks for all your valuable opinions. Is it only because my husband ILR is based on 10 year stay that we can't apply for set(f)?

Yes.

[Sumirayees]

What are requirements for the flr(fp) visa? Does it have the nhs surcharge ?

What are the requirements for the tier1 entrepreneur visa extension in £50k route?

[Casa]

I can answer your first question. Yes, the NHS surcharge applies for each applicant

FLR(FP) "the correct payment has been made towards the Immigration Health Surcharge, if applicable. You will need to assess the likely cost using the online portal www.gov.uk/healthcare-immigration-application.

[Sumirayees]

Please anyone can help me with the entrepreneur visa extension?

[CR001]

Is your spouse now not applying for ILR based on long residence?

Is he currently on the Tier 1 Ent £50k route?

[Sumirayees]

Ya currently he is in tier 1 entrepreneur visa. But he can apply for ILR in 10 year basis in June .
Just looking for options to settle for ours too.
