If you have a gap between the last period of valid leave and the date of this application your application will only be able to be granted if the late application was submitted:
• no more than 14 days after your previous leave expired and we consider that there is a good reason beyond your control for the delay
• following the refusal of a previous application for leave which was made in-time or for which the Secretary of State considered there was a good reason why it could not be made in-time;
and within 14 days of either:
• the refusal of the previous application for leave
• the expiry of any leave which has been extended by section 3C of the Immigration Act 1971
• the expiry of the time limit for making an in-time application for administrative review or appeal (where applicable)
• any administrative review or appeal being concluded, withdrawn or abandoned or lapsing
Where you have a gap of leave of less than 14 days you must provide evidence of the reason for the delay. This includes situations where your application for settlement falls under one of the above bullet points.
我是主申请人 Gap 没超过28天，我爱人是我的depandent 有个Gap超过 28天大概 50天左右。请问大神depandent的申请永居有影响吗？ 另外上面的英文讲的是签证过期的事还是永居Gap的事，请教谢谢。
