Re: Anyone applied ILR by Vignette Date?

The qualifying period is counted backwards from the date that is beneficial to the applicant (NOT necessarily the date you apply) The 28-days concession is NOT about when to apply (it is about the earliest point you become actually eligible for ILR) So, how can you calculate your earliest date of ...

Re: ILR 10 Years Route - Request for Clarification

You can do both, depending on your priorities. Note that the ILR rule changes in the future are not predictable, so not securing ILR at the earliest and as the rules stand means unpredictability in the future.

This has been answered so many times before on the forum for so many applicants. You do not need to guess things, just try to understand how things work and how the rules apply makes everything clear. The immigration system is not an experience-based system, it based on what the rules say. READ ...

Re: Cash Savings for ILR

The requirement for cash saving for Entry clearance/permission to stay is higher than ILR stage. That is the source of confusion You can use a value equal or greater than (cash saving amount - £16,000) towards your ILR. In your case, the min cash saving amount is £34600 (£34600 - £16,000 = £18,600 wh ...

Re: ILR

The idea that you need full 5 years is a misunderstanding. You are not short of anything as you do NOT need full 5 years to get ILR. This advice has been given many times for years

You refuse to read the official guide, that is why you are confused. For non-salaried employment, the guide tells you this: Where the person is in non-salaried employment – the level of gross annual employment income relied upon in the application will be the annual equivalent of the person’s ave ...

Re: Child born in UK – ILR or dependant visa after I get settlement?

A child will always follow the immigration path of the less privileged parent when it comes to the visas. The child can get ILR at the same time as you both , or she can remain under a dependant visa. After a parent gets ILR, a UK born child is entitled to British citizenship. MN1 is not an ...

Re: ILR delay — 8 months, 2 months past committed date — what next?

If SET(O) was incorporate they would have told you. My suggestion is to apply using settlement-adult-relative form again which becomes variation of leave. The date of application is irrelevant

Re: Does My 10-Year ILR Application impact the Spouse and Children Eligibility for ILR based on New Rule.

You got advice last year when you asked the same query above. The advice remains the same. You settle under the long residence and your wife continues under the skilled worker until eligible for ILR. The rules allow this, and the fact that you settle under the long residence is irrelevant. Also ...

Re: Query on Incorrect wording in Visa approval email

Only ONE source of income is enough if that satisfies the requirements.. If it does not then, you need more. You cannot just add your salary to your spouses' salary as explained above.
