Need some help ! Here is my story
Student Visa Aug 2002 till September 2007.
Got Work Permit in July 2007 valid till June 2010
But went for Tier 1 in March 2009 - valid until March 2012.
Since I will have only 4 years and 9 months end of March I cant apply for ILR, so planning Tier 1 Extension. Then once I get passport and visa back (say in two months processing time) I will be eligilble to apply for ILR ! Will qualify for ILR on 10 year rule as well in aug... but had to go for this extention next month
My wife is on dependent visa, we were blessed with beautiful and loving daughter in July. I have just got her Indian passport.
My query is, can I exclude her when I go for Tier 1 extenstion next month and then again when I apply for ILR in July.
Once we get ILR in July can I register her using MN1 ?
This will save us few quids, as I will be writing cheque to home office twice in just 4 months time first for extension and then for ILR.
Any suggestion will help !
Thanks guys
