Hi Seniors,

I have successfully varied application and got ILR on 10 yrs long residency. But now problem is my dependent wife and child (born in uk) application are still on tier-1 entrepreneur dependent.

I have received a letter from HO for my dependent stating that your sponsor has varied application to 10 yrs long residency, and further HO asking my spouse that Have u varied application? or do you want us to continue considering your application as tier-1 entrepreneur dependent? . They have given my wife time to let them know before end of Feb 2018.

Now my question are:

1) If i dont switch tier 1 entrepreneur dependent application for my wife and child, will it be refused?
and in case if they HO dont refuse, how long my wife visa would be (she has been living with me since 1st visa of tier 1 entrepreneur)

2) Can i go for my child passport? as i have got ILR (one parent got ilr now)

3) Some solicitor saying me to change spouse route asap and fill form FLR-M with financial requirement for my wife and my child (£23000 something, which i have already including me and my wife salaries per anum)?

Waiting for your valuable suggestion.

Thanks

Hi Zadaswabiyum,

Congrats on your ILR approval.

I have had pretty much the same timeline and got my visa approved on 4 Feb and received the ILR BRP and documents by 8th Feb

The interesting thing is that I have still not received my T1E documents and my passports back. I have been caling the HO everyday but all in vain.

Have you received your T1E documents and passports back?

Sorry for asking a question rather than helping you with your question but I am single and don't know anything about spouse visas etc

Regards,

Yes it will. She can only apply on FLR(M) if you got ILR based on long residence. FLR(M) will reset her clock and she will have to wait a new 5 years period before applying for ILR. The rules don't allow her to extend her PBS dependent visa.

2) Can i go for my child passport? as i have got ILR (one parent got ilr now) Your child is NOT British so doesn't qualify for a passport directly. You must register the child as British on form MN1 under Section 1(3) of the nationality act.

3) Some solicitor saying me to change spouse route asap and fill form FLR-M with financial requirement for my wife and my child (£23000 something, which i have already including me and my wife salaries per anum)? Yes, you must vary your wifes application as soon as possible.
Write a covering letter that you will be registering your UK born child as British under section 1(3). You then only need £18,600pa income requirement for the spouse visa.

Waiting for your valuable suggestion.

Thanks
