ILR application for ancestry visa holder and spouse
Posted: Thu Feb 03, 2011 2:51 pm
Hi there,
I have been resident in the UK as an ancestry visa holder for nearly 6 years now, and am looking to apply for indefinite leave to remain. My wife has lived here for 4 years, and has held a spouse visa since we were married 3 years ago.
If I apply for settlement using form SET(O), can I include my wife as a dependant? And if the application is successful, will my wife have indefinite leave to remain, or will her visa be restricted in some way? We're looking to start a family soon, so we would like to know if she will be eligible for paid maternity leave.
Thanks very much,
