ILR for dependant

Hello Guys,
I am asking question behalf of my friend. My friend received his ILR in March-2015 on basis of 10yr. He was on Tier 1 visa at the time of application and his wife is dependent visa. His wife is applying ILR based on his husband but she still has tier 1 dependent visa. she hasn't changed the visa after her husband granted ILR. Is there any problem applying the ILR?

Many Thanks
Kevin

When did his wife get the initial Tier 1 dependent visa?

As your friend got his ILR based on LR, I believe that his wife Is likely not eligible for ILR. She may need to apply for and get FLR(M). Her clock will reset and she will need to spend five years on FLR(M) before becoming eligible for ILR.

If your friend had waited and got ILR based on T1G (or any PBS category), his wife's clock would not have reset.

But I would wait for other comments before proceeding further.

The wife is not eligible for ILR. She should have applied for FLR(M) as soon as her husband's LR ILR was granted.

THANKS FOR THE REPLY. THEY HAVE ALMOST APPLIED ON SET M. YOUR ADVISED SAVED THE HUGE AMOUNT OF MONEY AND STRESS.

They should be very grateful to you. But there's no need to shout.
