ILR - 10 Years vs 5 Years WP/T1

[nahmed]

Hello Guys,

I need some advise on my ILR Routes please.

I qualify for ILR under 2 routes:

10 Years - February 2012
WP/T1 route - May 2012

I have a wife & 2 children(born in UK) as dependents.

Originally I was inclined to use the T1 route in May. However, with rumours about proposed changes to ILR, I was thinking to go under 10 years rule & get it over & done with. Although they mention that the changes will not affect pre April 2011 candidates but who can stop them from doing something otherwise, u never know.

1) Now under 10 year route, I beleive every1 else will be okay apart from my wife who will 1st need to get an FLR M extension for 2 years and then apply for ILR (if the rules dont change), is that right?

2) Could you guys suggest any other possibility for my wife to get ILR quicker?

3) Could I apply under 10 years and the family via T1 route?

4) Is there anything else you guys could suggest to help me make the decision apart from the possibility mentioned in 1?

I would love to have the whole family pull through in one go and would really appreciate any advise on my situation.

Thanks in Advance

1. Under 10 years u can not get ILR for your family but extension and then ILR.
2. Also remember if you go for 10 years then your wife needs to pass an english language test to qualify for extension.
3. I am sure with workpermit and tier1 u cna include your dependent in your application.
4. If you chose 10 years then family can not apply under Tier 1 as u status is changed and they will have to use FLR(M) for extension.

If you were a single applicant, then I would suggest applying under 10 years rule. But you have your family with you and if you are confident and think there are no issues with your ILR based on Tier-1, then apply under Tier-1 for ILR.

This way your family will get ILR a lot quicker.

5 yrs is the better option without a shadow of doubt
