eVisa not visible

[pray4all]

Hi All,

I received ILR application approval email for myself & child. As advised on the email for both of us, I then created UKVI account for myself and child and applied for evisa registration using mobile app.

For myself - The moment I submitted eVisa, it was visible on the website and I could view the same under 5 min.

For my child - I received this email post submission "What happens next:
We will email you to let you know when you can view your eVisa."

It has been couple of days however I haven't received any information and obviously worried if it's stuck due to technical glitch.

Please suggest should I contact UKVI helpline? What's the best way to contact? Any personal experience?

What happens if it's not updated before 31 Dec?

Also would we able to travel outside UK based on approval email?

Thanks

Nothing stops you from traveling outside the UK. Returning is where you will encounter problems.
Approval email will most likely not be accepted.

Hi,

I received ILR evisa email for my kid today however I am confused with the information.

The status shows 'Dependant' whereas rest of the body says no time limit.

There is no limit on how long you can stay in the UK.

If any of the information displayed on your status is incorrect, contact UK Visas and Immigration.

Prove your status
If you need to prove your immigration status to someone, you can do this online with a share code.

What you can do in the UK

Your settlement status means you can:

live in the UK
work
study
rent a place to live
use the National Health Service (NHS) in a similar way to permanent UK residents
access public funds such as benefits and pensions, if you are eligible for them
________________________________________________

Please can you confirm if this is correct.
Do I need to get this corrected?

Thanks

ILR means you can stay in the UK indefinitely ... what were you expecting to see?

Hi alterhase58,

The status field in evisa shows:

Status: Dependant

Whereas rest of the email comments talks about settlement. I have checked mine it says status as 'settled' and comments are inline with the status. Shouldn't my child evisa also have stated status as 'settled'?

Thanks

[alterhase58]

OK then contact them to check this. I agree "dependent" isn't an immigration status, "settled" is. Child isn't dependent anymore on your status.

If any of the information displayed on your status is incorrect, contact UK Visas and Immigration.

Child is and always would be a dependant. This just shows that the path for the ILR was based on the parent. Child probably wouldn't qualify independently.

Not all ILR's comes without remarks. The most important is that it's ILR.

Ahh ok - many thanks Ticktack!

Didn't know that child is not mentioned as 'settled' but the legal meaning or the remarks is that what matters. I raised the error request the same day, hopefully I should get the same response. Many thanks again, it has relieved me a lot

The HO works their magic as they deem fit. An example is a refugee that has ILR. There would always by Refugee Settlement back in the BRP days. Not sure what they would have now.

But you get the picture.

Hello all,

I had the exactly the same situation, for my 8years old son, the status is shown as "Dependant" in eVisa, but for my wife and me it's "Settled".
We also have the BRP's (exp. 31/12/2024) where it was mentioned for all of us as:
Type of permit : Settlement
Remarks: Indefinite leave to remain

It did not mention anything about "Dependant" on my son's BRP. That's why I contacted the UKVI, and filled the required form, stating error in status, received the reply - as all is ok, as the visa was granted as part of the group application, please see the reply below.

Evisa matches grant.

"'Dependant' is shown as your visa was granted as part of a group application, and there is no fault with the service."

We have reviewed your case and confirmed your status is correct, based on the immigration route under which you were granted. This includes the length and conditions of your permission, such as your right to work. We are aware the status title on your eVisa may not match the status title on your BRP, however, this does not affect your immigration status. You are still able to use your eVisa to generate a share code and demonstrate your right to live and work in the UK, and to travel internationally.

Carriers will be allowed to accept BRPs which expire on or after 31 December 2024 as valid evidence of permission to travel until 31 March 2025. If you still have your BRP, it may be helpful to carry it with you when you travel even after it has expired, provided you still have valid immigration status.

You do not need to take any additional action.

Still very confusing, why they just can't do it as it was mentioned in BRP's. And not sure whether the "Dependant" is immigration status at all?
