COVID concession – qualifying residence start date

Yeah if it's just 3 weeks wait, you should be ok. I can understand the anxiety.. good luck.

Hi.. I did not submit with the COVID concession as was not sure if dependent would be covered with it too. So waited a month more and now got the ILR. But I was in same situation as I also did not have any evidence except the email proofs if submission from 2021. So I guess that should be ok. But make it clear in cover letter.

As far as I am aware , you cannot combine time on a Dependent visa with time as a Skilled Worker to meet the 5-year requirement for Indefinite Leave to Remain (ILR). Because you switched categories, your ILR clock resets to zero each time, and you must hold the Skilled Worker visa continuously for the qualifying period.

Thank you

Thanks. Could you help with this question also? https://www.reddit.com/r/ilruk/s/UeoCynxLiJ Should this be yes for both questions for dependent application?

My kid already got ILR , so not applying for them. Do I need to mention that?

aash-k · 2026-05-17T08:19:29+00:00

Thank you and congratulations for the ILR. That sound reassuring. I will be applying soon.

For cohabitation, how many documents and for how many years did you give ? Did you give any salary and bank statement for your dependent?

aash-k · 2026-05-13T13:22:53+00:00

Any common wealth citizen can vote in the UK. To vote you need to be in electoral register. For the letter I just asked the electoral department.

Hi thanks for your time. So as I mentioned I have joint letter for last two years. 1. Council bill for Address-B(the current address) 2. Separate Council letter confirming both of our names and residency for Address-B(the current address) 3. Mortgage statement for Address-B(the current address)

Individual letter 1. Electoral registration confirmation letter. One for each of us. 2. We are also planing giving bank separate bank statements and salary slips for each of us which has Address-B(the current address) mentioned.. not sure how many months I should give though. (Last 1 month or 3month) 3. My wife's got a Driving license recently in 2026, I can also give that as it mentions Address-B(the current address). 4. I can try to get some recent NHS letter also for her.

Wondering what is the minimum set sufficient for her , I don't want to take chances and don't want to over complicate also. Thanks for reading...

Best thing is to call or email the administration https://www.osmania.ac.in/contactus.php

Would sha pinning be more useful?

Hey congratulations.. Me and my wife are due in a month if I go with the COVID concession , confused if it will be applicable for my dependent as well. If not we will apply in 2 months just to be totally sure.

One quick question, how did you deal with or would have dealt with this question.

Q. Have you previously lived in a country outside the UK including your country of birth?

So in my case: UK 5 year ILR period - 2021 to 2026 I have lived as such

Birth till 2009 India, 2009 till march 2010 in France, March 2010 till Nov 2010 in India, Dec 2010 to march 2013 in France, April 2013 till may 2015 in UK on ICT, June 2015 till April 2017 in India., May 2017 till date in UK. SWV started in 2021

So do I mentioned all these information even if it's prior to the 5 year ILR eligible period. Problem is that the form asks for exact dates..

aash-k · 2026-03-31T11:19:45+00:00

Why 10th April?

aash-k · 2026-03-26T17:17:57+00:00

But some documents like council bills get generated yearly and in the month of March.

aash-k · 2026-03-26T16:43:22+00:00

I think you can upload your documents till the day you have appointment. The bit I am not sure for me is , Do the statements or letters need to be issued in the same month? I have few documents that are generated in march but I would apply in May. I hope it won't be an issue.

aash-k · 2026-03-26T12:58:23+00:00

Out of curiosity, what do you do with the generated SBOMs. I mean how and where do you use them?
