I am eligible to apply for ILR in January as i qualify on the basis of the 5 years Tier 1 entrepreneur route.
I have a few questions regarding my application and I will appreciate answers as these will help me in planning in advance.
1. my partner is listed as my dependent and he has been here for less than 5 years, so he doesn't qualify yet for ILR. please what visa category does he need to apply for?
2. Is there any income requirement for the category my partner can switch to?
3. Are there maintenance funds requirements for my partner's application?
4. If my partner is able to switch to different category, when will he qualify for ILR?
5. My partner was subject to a police investigation (he was not arrested - he was only interviewed) and the case was closed without any charges brought and neither was the case taken to court. will this have any impact on his application or future applications (e.g.. citizenship)
4. I have a child that's UK born and listed as my dependent (he holds a valid visa). i do understand that I do not have to include her in my ILR application as I can register her as a British citizen once I receive my ILR. however, a friend in similar circumstances (UK born kids) recently informed me that Home Office wrote to him and told him that their his ILR application will not be considered expect he makes a dependent visa application for his two kids and pay the appropriate fees. so he had to submit applications for both of them. his ILR was granted but applying for the kids seems like a utter waste of money as they can register as British Citizens. Is there anyway around not including a UK born child in my ILR application
Thanks in advance for all your responses.
