ILR APPLICATION / DEPENDENTS

[bark]

Hello,

I am presently working in UK on a tier 2 visa and have finished a
continuous period of stay for 5 years and am eligible for ILR.

I had queries with respect to my wife's and daughters visa
application. They came here in July 2013 on a tier 2 dependent visa.
But were out of the country from December 2014 to March 2016
They came back to UK in march 2016 on a new tier 2 dependent visa
applied from India. Since then they have been staying here
Their present dependent visa expires in June 2018 (along with mine)

I have the following queries:

1) When i apply for their visa - which form should i fill up: PBS
dependent or FLR form? (or do i need to apply for them in June 2018
because they already have a dependent visa valid til then?)
2) When would they be eligible for ILR ?
3) Can my daughter get ILR along-with my application?
4) Should i apply for ILR first and then apply for their dependent
visas ? ( I am planning to apply via premium service) OR can all these
applications be made simultaneously?

Please do help me with this information.

Kind regards,

1) When i apply for their visa - which form should i fill up: PBS dependent or FLR form? (or do i need to apply for them in June 2018 because they already have a dependent visa valid til then?)

They can continue on PBS Dependent and extend their visas shortly before they expire in June 2018. They will get a 3 year extension.

2) When would they be eligible for ILR ?

2021, 5 years from the date of entry in 2016.

3) Can my daughter get ILR along-with my application?

No, she will follow the same path as her mother.

4) Should i apply for ILR first and then apply for their dependent visas ? ( I am planning to apply via premium service) OR can all these
applications be made simultaneously?

They DO NOT need to appy now as they still have valid visas till June 2018.
