Hi,
Context: I entered UK as a WP holder in Apr'07, got married in Nov'08. My wife joined me in the UK as dependent on WP in Dec'08. Meanwhile my WP got converted to Tier 2 ICT in Apr'09. Our daughter was born in the UK in Jun'10. I got another extension on my Tier 2 ICT in Apr'11. My wife and our daughter are Tier 2 ICT dependents and their VISA along with mine expires in Apr'13.
In summary I've completed 5 yrs in UK this Apr'12. My wife is still in UK but my daughter is back in India. We plan to apply for our ILR now and later once our daughter is back, we'll apply for her citizenship directly.
Four questions:
1. Can my wife and I apply for an ILR while my child is not in the UK? I think so but if somebody could confirm...
2. Assuming we get an ILR successfully in June - have applied for a PEO in Solihull on 29th June. We plan to bring our daughter back in Aug'12. Will she be allowed to travel on the same VISA, i.e., Tier 2 Dependent?
3. If not, then should I be required to file her citizenship from India and only then she could travel?
4. If yes, do we need to apply her citizenship before her Tier 2 dependent VISA expires in Apr'13?
Many thanks,
Kind regards
Vikram
