Good day to everyone, could someone help with my question please?
I am on work permit visa and going to apply for ILR together with my dependant husband in September. I was not planning to change address before applying but it turned out that we might need to move in July/August. Does change of address so shortly before applying for ILR pose any problems? Thank you in advance.

If you do not want to change address then better to use any of your convenient address as correspondence (as mentioned on form) address for receiving post from Ukba.

Thanks for your answer sheraz7. We will be changing the address completely, i.e. all our bank statements, correspondence, etc will go to the new address. We can't keep it at the old address as we won't be related to it anymore, the landlord's family will be living there.
I'm not sure if there are any restrictions/limitations on staying at the current address prior to application? To me it doesn't sound logical but you never know

No there is no restriction that address cannot be changed prior to application. A fully updated address is always best by changing with the new one but application form give full opportunity to use a different address only for correspondence.
