Dependant visa for 10 year ILR

[Master999]

Hi,

I am eligible formy 10 year ILR in April 2021. (on Tier 2 ICT since May 2011)
My wife and dependants will have to be as my dependants because my wife's continuos stay broke in between her 10 year route. (Twice : 1st time 7 months and 2nd time 1 year)

1. When I apply for my ILR what is the visa type my dependants will have to apply? (asking this as our current visa date is just that I will complete my 10 years and there is no Premium visa at the moment)
2. How much will the IHS surcharge be for them?
3. Can I take a 5 year dependats visa just to pay the IHS surcharge (as it would be increased periodically)
4. My wife's continuos stay broke because of medical reasons, can I try and show that reason to apply ILR for my wife? If so what evidence will I have to show - Will the Indian doctor reports and letter be good?

Many Thanks in advance.

1. FLR M spouse/child visas. You need to meet the financial requirment and your spouse need English A1 test form a UKVi approved test provider.

2. Currently, £1000 per applicant for a 2.5 year visa. IHS fees are increasing on 28th October to £624 per year for adults and £470 per year for children, which is £1560 per adult and £1175 per child for a 2.5 year visa.

3. No you cannot. FLR M is only issued for 2.5 years.

4. She won't qualify for long residence ILR if she has any single absence of 180 days or more in the 10 years or absence of more than 540 days. aa single absence of 180 days breaks her continuous residence will be broken, regardless of the reason she was absent. If you take the risk to apply and it is refused, you lose the ilr fee paid. You have not stated the dates she was absent?

Thanks CR001 for the quick reply.

Would you mind for few more questions on what you have mentioned please.

1. What is the financial requirement I need to show. Can you please elaborate?
2. Do I have to apply for the FLR M visas for my dependants when I apply for my ILR as the current visa is the same for all of us (2-May-2021) and I am eligible 28 days before which is 5-Apr-2021. Should I have to wait for the decision to apply for my dependants FLR M. If so, what if the decision comes late?
I mean before my ILR approval, can I apply for FLR M for my dependants?
3. My wife continuos period
Arrived in UK - Apr 2012
1st break - Apr 2014 till Dec 2014 (just above 7 months)
2nd break - Apr 2016 till May 2017 (just above 1 year)
Other than these there are few trips(4) which are not more than 30 days each

1. £18600 for partner only but extra £3800 for 1st dependant followed by £2400 for each dependants.

2. She can apply flrm alongside with you where you can request the caseworker to hold her application until you will receive your decision. However, if your application will be refused then the same will happens with flrm application too.

Thanks Seagul for the reply.

I am having a job with 40K salary, and can get a letter from employer stating that.
Will this be enough for the financial requirement OR should I still show the bank balance?

[CR001]

It is mandatory to provide at least 6 months payslips, 6 months bank statements and an employer letter to prove you meet the financial requirement.

There is NO requirement to have a 'minimum' bank balance or prove 'maintenance funds'.

Hi,

I am on Tier2 ICT and will complete my 10 years in UK by May 2021.

Below are my dependant's stay in the UK.

Wife: Came to UK in Apr 2012
Out of UK from Apr 2014 till Dec 2014 (more than 6 months)
Out of UK from Apr 2016 till May 2017 (more than a year)
Back in the UK since May 2017

1st child: Born in India, came to the UK in Dec 2014
Out of UK from Apr 2016 till May 2017 (more than a year)
Back in the UK since May 2017

2nd child: Born in India, came and living to the UK since May 2017

My question is, when can I apply ILR for my children.
I know my wife has breaks and so have to follow the 5 years stay once I get my ILR or her 10 year route.

I was told that if either parent have an ILR, the children can apply ILR/Citizenship if they stay in the UK for 5 years. Can I count from May 2017 as they are in the UK since then?

Hi CR001,

I can show bank statements, pay slips and employee letter that I have a salary of 40K.

But will I have to show balance or just showing the above alone will be enough.
Asking as I wouldn't be having much balance at that time as I would be paying for the Visa fess etc..

Also just to mention, mine is 10 year ILR route

The balance in your account is not a requirement, it is the inflow to corroborate your income as per pay slips or income documents from employment.

[vinny]

I believe that you were misinformed. Children should apply in line with their mother.

Hi,

I came to the UK on 2nd May 2011 on T2 ICT and about complete my 10 years in the same category

My wife came in a year later in Apr 2012
1st kid: Dec 2014
2nd kid: May 2017

Both were born in India.

1. Once I get my ILR, when can I apply ILR for my kids as they are born in India?
2. My wife has 2 breaks in continuous residency so she will have to be my deoendant again and her clock ticks again. But what about my children. I was told that if the kis is below 5 years by the time one of the parent is applying for ILR, he/she can apply for ILR. is that correct?

[seagul]

I think everyone will have to apply into FLRM where none-UK born kids will follow the path of less privilege parent. You can read about the requirements at:

https://www.gov.uk/uk-family-visa/partner-spouse

[Master999]

Hi Seagul,

It is a bit unclear as follows.
Nothing mentioned as the child will have to follow the least privilige parent.
Also if I extend my child visa as PBS depnedant (which they are at the moment) and complete 5 years in it, will they be eligible for ILR then?

========================================================
You were born outside the UK

Whether you can apply depends on your age and how your parent applied.
If you’re under 18

You must:

not be married, in a civil partnership or living an independent life
be financially supported without claiming public funds

One of your parents must also be applying or have applied for a visa or to extend their permission to stay as a:

partner - and the partner they’re joining is your other parent
parent - and they have sole parental responsibility for you
============================================================

[seagul]

Hi Seagul,


Also if I extend my child visa as PBS depnedant (which they are at the moment) and complete 5 years in it, will they be eligible for ILR then?

Switching into long residence preclude the dependants to extend under pbs route.

[vinny]

319H(b) and 319J(b) fail.

Children may apply under D-LTRC, in line with mother, who is under D-LTRP.

Hi Vinny,

Am I not a Points Based System Migrant?

My visa category is Tier 2 ICT since May 2011.

And I am going fo rmy ILR in 10 yeras route in May 2021.

I sthere any way I can get my kids the ILR. I know you have given the document referneces for which I am a bit confused with the terminology as asked above.

[vinny]

If they grant ILR under Long residence, then you did not obtain indefinite leave to remain as:

(i) a Relevant Points Based System Migrant or Appendix W Worker, or

See also Dependant of ILR (long residence) applicant on PBS leave.

Hi,

I am on Tier 2 ICT since May 2011 and will apply for my ILR in Apr 2021.
My wife and children have the Tier 2 Dependant visa till May 2021.

1. Will I have to apply for my wife and children as ILR dependants along with my ILR application? (as Premium service is not available now)
2. I have the same job since I came to the UK and my wife is dependant, so will I have to show the bank balance.

I was told that I have to show big amount (financial requirement) by one moderator and someone else said I need to just show the bank statements even without much money.

So confused, can anyone please put some light on this and share me the reference documents.

Incase I have to show the balance, how much do I need to show for my dependants, please give the break up.

Also can I pay my ILR fee and my dependants application fee with a credit card?
