ILR for my family & New baby was born overseas ...Help Please !!
Posted: Sun Nov 26, 2017 10:38 pm
Hi All,
I do appreciate it if any of the gurus here in this group can help me to sort out my dilemma, please.
In brief, I am an Egyptian citizen, have been granted ILR visa on 15.11.17 (under Tier 01 General -5 years basis) after waiting for more than 18 months and attending an interview.
The problem is, I just applied for myself only and have not applied for my wife and daughter yet.
Home Office did ask me about the whereabouts of my dependants and I replied them saying that I am intending to apply for them as soon as I got my visa approved as they still hold a valid visa till April 2018. To be honest I was worried that my application could get refused and I could lose the fees. What is more is, my wife, gave birth during her visit to her sister in USA in April 2017 before I was granted the ILR.
At the airport, the baby was permitted to enter the UK as an American visitor for 6 months visit which already expired last October. He is now overstayer for nearly three weeks!
I had emailed the HO several times before his passport got expired and before they granted me the ILR asking them for advice on what form or category shall I use to switch my baby visitor to a (Tier 01) dependent visa and I attached a copy of my baby's passport and his details in my emails.I also asked them about my situation and why it was taking so long time. I was told that my case exceptionally raises complex issues and they did not advise me regarding the baby.
Now after I got my ILR approved for my self, I am intending to apply for my family.However, I have no idea what form shall I use for the new baby? Will he go for Indefinite directly or he needs another visa?
I understand that Form (Set 0) will be used to apply for my wife and daughter.
I do believe that the HO are not in the business of throwing babies and children out of the country.Are they?
Please help !!!
kind regards,
