Need Help

Post by lucy_2011 » Tue May 08, 2012 9:57 am

Hello All,

Here's a situation of my friend:

1. The girl was born before Jan 1, 1983 in UK, so she has a British Passport..
2. Her hubby is from India who is on Work Permit for 3 yrs in UK out of which 1 yr has already passed by...
3. They got married 1.5 yrs ago in India...

So the question is:

To be eligible for ILR,
1. Does he needs to get his Work Visa changed to Spouse Visa from within UK now?
2. Or, wait for another 2 yrs on Work Visa n apply for ILR straight away based on the fact that their marriage is 4 yrs old?
3. Or please suggest other possible correct way if there is any :)

Thanks in advance :)

Hi Lucy, if you want advice only from moderators it might be better to send one a personal message as they don't tend to read the board every day. Good luck.

Switching to FLR(M) and subsequently SET(M) in two years may be faster than remaining on work permit.
