ILR Dependant Application query

[magneta]

Hi all

My Husband is applying for ILR dependant on April 17th (PEO). Could you please answer few queries regarding the same?

1. Background - I am a BC with ILR received via Tier 1 General 5 years route. He was already in the UK doing his Phd but we applied for PBS dependant and received it from 13th May 2013. He is now completing 5 years eventhough his visa is valid until 7th July 2018 and with the 28 day rule, we can apply from April 15th. - Is this correct or should the 28 days be calculated from the day he re entered as PBS dependant( which was 17th May 2013)?

2. I have read that absenses doesnt apply for dependants. Although he hasnt exceeded 180 days, do we still need to provide the absenses sheet with all the dates?

3. Below are the list of documents we are submitting. Please let me know if this is ok or if something is missing


Main applicant
SET(O) Application form
Current passport + 1 old passport
2 photos
Current BRP
PhD Degree Certificate

He is apply for ILR and not 'ILR dependent' which is a spouse visa for 2.5 years.

Date of visa issue is fine.

You need to complete the form as appropriate. No evidence is required though.

Documents should be fine. Children passport and birth cert copies should be ok too.

Hi, Thank you for the quick reply. Sorry , yes, it should have been ILR. But I didnt know it was only for 2.5 years! Thank you for pointing that out. Am I correct in assuming that he will be able to apply for BC straightaway after he receives ILR? Sorry if this particular question needs to be posted elsewhere.

2.5 years is the SPOUSE visa (ILR Dependent) and not ILR.

Yes, provided he meets the 3 year spouse of BC requirements.

Thanks again CR001. I guess I read that too quick and confused myself.
