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.

Re: Working in Dublin on weekdays, UK home on weekends. Risk to my Global Talent / ILR?

Your visa allows you to be outside the UK for 180 days in every 365-day period. Working overseas will not affect your Visa but to qualify for ILR, you must show that you have earned money in the UK in your expert field: 17.4 Eligibility requirements - applicant has earned money in the UK in their ...

Re: Indefinite leave to remain documents checklist

You delay the biometrics until you are within 28 days of your 5 years. That is when you can be granted ILR. You and your spouse can apply together using priority service, excluding the children from that application. Then in parallel, apply for children separately using standard service. If you want ...

All apply together, then delay the biometrics until all of you qualify. So book your biometrics from late September. Also, you are applying under skilled worker rules and time spent under 'representative of an Overseas Business visa' is simply counted towards the ILR period under skilled worker ...

You do not need to prove residency. Refrain from inventing your own rules. The UKVI will use their data to assess whether you had continuous residence or not. Also, the qualifying period starts from the first visa issue date and the date of entry is irrelevant. Provide your first visa issue dates ...

Re: Skilled worker dependent extension wrong fee/IHS (Partner ILR)

Just to clarify, if the application fee is based on my partner's original CoS being over 3 years, does that also mean the Immigration Health Surcharge should be paid for 5 years, even though the dependant extension will only be granted for 3 years? Or should the IHS still only be for the 3-year ...

Re: Skilled worker dependent extension wrong fee/IHS (Partner ILR)

There are two issues here: 1. The immigration health surcharge online system is not smart enough to calculate IHS fees correctly for an applicant whose partner has ILR. For such dependants, the extension visa period is always fixed at 3 years, as per the rules. As ILR has no expiry date, you should ...
