Dear Gurus,

Following are the dates for my family who are going to apply on Tier 1 G Dependent Route:

First Landed in UK: 26-March-2013
Current BRP validity till: 24-March-2018

They have not been out of UK during entire above period.

Should they be eligible to apply for ILR by 27-Feb-2018 (considering 28 days Rule) ? Or they need to complete exact 5 years? (which leaves them 2 days short) - If it is the later case, I am not sure, should they be going for extension?

Your guidance is requested please?

Regards,

Should they be eligible to apply for ILR by 27-Feb-2018 (considering 28 days Rule) ?

Yes, they can apply within 28 days before reaching 5 years residence.

Dear Gurus

My wife is applying as Tier 1 G Dependent - ILR Visa by beginning of March. I am already on ILR visa (Tier 1 G route): The application would be through her as 'Main applicant'

I have the following questions regarding filling up the form for her:

Section:1.6 - Any other name(s) by which you are or have been known:
Q1: --> May wife had a different surname before marriage, which was changed to my name long before she came to UK. Also, in none of her passports, her previous surname is mentioned. Should I indicate her previous Surname here or leave it blank?

Section 12A: All applicants - (Tick list)
Your valid passport or (except a PBS applicant) a national identity card. If you do not have these, your most recent passport or (except a PBS applicant) national identity card.
Q2: --> Is my wife a PBS applicant?


Section 12A: All applicants - (Tick list)
I you have a spouse or civil partner listed in section 2 of this application form who is applying at the same time as you, please provide documentary evidence of cohabitation since you were last granted leave (up to a maximum two years)
Q3: --> Since I am not applying with my wife, should the cohabitation documents sill should be provided?


Can you kindly advise of above three question, specially the last one please?

Thanks for you kind reply. Much appreicated.
