ILR for Dependents - Main Applicant got ILR already

[bdeva81]

Hi,

I am Dev, and I recently got my ILR.
My Kid born in India and she entered UK first in Oct'2014.
My wife is on Dependant visa and she's eligible for ILR in 2018.

Can I apply for ILR for my KID now?
Appreciate your expert advice.

Thanks
Dev

Hi,

I am Dev, i recently got my ILR and Like to apply ILR for my wife,

My wife first visa was valid from 30/05/2012 to 25/04/2014, In May 2013 she went back to india for Maternity and our child born in India.
As she was away from UK for 17 months and her visa expired, so she applied in india again for tier1 dependant and got visa with validity 15/08/2014 to 25/04/2017
she was away from UK for 17months between May'13 - Apr'15 on Maternity.

In this case, can she apply for ILR, as she got her initial visa in 2012. Under 2years condition?

Thanks
Deva

As your child was born outside of the UK they will follow the route of the less advantaged parent...in this case your wife. They will qualify for ILR at the same time as their mother.

No because her initial visa expired while she was in India. In your other thread you have said that she qualifies for ILR in 2018. Here you say 2017. Which is it?

Your dates don't appear to add up. How was she granted a dependent visa on 15/08/2014 when she was in India between in May'13 - Apr'15

You don't need to open a new thread for each question.

On what basis did you apply for ILR, Tier 1 G 5 years residence or ILR based on 10 years long residence?

Hi All,

Appreciate all your advice, so my main question is can I apply for ILR for my KID or need to wait for her to apply with my wife?

My Wife case is tricky as well, as she initially got her visa in 2012, but went to india for maternity, where her visa got expired and reapplied in india to come to UK.

So I got 2 questions,
1. As my wife away for Maternity, can go through 2 years settlement route for my wife?
2. Either way, can I apply for ILR for my KID, though she isn't born in UK. But I as a father got ILR.?

Dev

So I got 2 questions,

2. Either way, can I apply for ILR for my KID, though she isn't born in UK. But I as a father got ILR.? No. Your child will qualify for ILR at the same time as their mother.
