Urgent advice needed. PlZ Dont Ignore!

[hellog123]

I(dependent) and my mother(main applicant) applied for ILR 6 weeks ago. My father (dependent) had some urgent obligation abroad. And he cudnt apply with us.

My question here is if my father couldnt make it to UK before the expiry of his remaining Leave to Remain, under what Visa or category he would be allowed to come to UK, Spouse Visa ? or Indefinite leave to Enter ( IF my mother's ILR is approved.)

Is there any possibility that I get his passport via post and send it to Home office now before the LTR expires.?

The leave expires soon. So an urgent reply would be appreciated.

The leave expires soon.

How soon (date)?

Your father is not eligible for ILE. If his current leave expires while he is abroad, then if he wishes to travel to UK after your mother is granted settlement, he will need to apply for entry clearance as spouse of a settled person.

Is there any possibility that I get his passport via post and send it to Home office now before the LTR expires.?

No. Attempting to submit a leave to remain application on behalf of someone not present in the UK is - deception.

Its expiring in 1st week of july.

Is that the only option available? Applying as a spouse of a settled person?

And i wont be applying in behalf of someone. It would be duly signed and filled by himself.

You missed the point. Let me put it differently - an individual not in the UK cannot apply for leave to remain. If he attempts to do so, it will be deception.

The other option is that your father returns to UK before your mother is granted settlement (and before his leave expires) and applies for leave to remain (FLR(M)) before expiry of his leave.

If your mother is not granted settlement by then (date of FLR(M) application), he should mention in a cover letter that the main migrant (your mother) has applied for settlement and the FLR(M) application is to be considered accordingly.
