Hello,
If anyone could help me or provide advice I would be truely grateful.
In October 2014 my mother was granted 10 year route to settlement - parent route (flr fp) and I was granted under this category has her dependent child. We renewed for the first time in 2016 and even though at this point I was over 18 I was still granted leave under the category as her dependent(not leading an independent life at the time). However in March 2019 my visa will be due for renewal, but I am no longer a dependent of my mother as I have begun to lead an independent life. I have moved out, I have a 2 year old British son from a previous relationship and I am currently pregnant with my second child due October of this year. She will also be British as my current parent/her dad has ILR.
However, I am confused as to if I can extended my visa under the same category as I have/will have two dependent child of my own and one who I sole responsibility for as his father is not in the picture at all. I was told by a solicitor that I will qualify due to my children and anything previous leave will brought over also but he then told me when I asked if I could use the premium service that I could not because this application can only be done by post ? :s
Lastly, my partner claims child benefit which is in his name alone and child tax credit which is in joint names as I read in the public funds guidance that this is okay ? But I have this nagging feeling that maybe this will effect my renewal ?
Has anyone had a similar situation or can you advice that I am correct in thinking that I can still extend my visa under the FLR FP route as a parent and will not have to go under a different route?
Regards, Chantel.
