I have to sponsor my wife and child at the same time of my application. Do I need to fulfill the new Family Migration Rules which has been enforced form 9th July or i have to apply in the previous maintenance Rule.
Can any one please answer my query ASAP.
1) you have to fill set(0) for ILR long residency
2) you cannot add your dependents on your form as it is not applicable for the applicants who apply under long residency
3)If your wife visa finishing at the same time as yours then you have to fill flr(m) and add a covering letter saying that once decision made on your application please grant settlement visa for your wife because her visa finishing at the same time as yours
4) If you have children born in UK, then your wife don't need to add dependents on her FLR(m) as then can register as British citizens once you get ILR, doesn't matter if their visa finishing at the same time as yours as they born in UK.
5) Once your wife gets 2 years settlement visa, immediately she can apply for ILR as she has already spent 2 years with you on PBS, she has to apply under set (0)
sorry i couldnt reply for your Private message.
