10 years long residence applications

rwhizza wrote:I have been silently reading this forum for the last 6 months. My Ilr is due in a few weeks time but I have confusion on few recent changes.
My 10 years include 5 years tier4, 2 years psw, 3 years Tier2.
My wife joined my in April 2010 as my psw dependent. Now she is dependent on Tier 2.
As per recent changes on 6th April I understand that she has to apply for FLRm and she is not eligible for SETm for another 5 years.
but Ilr route is going to be closed after 2018 which makes it more frustrating.
Her current visa expires in october 2014, by then I hope I will have my ILR.
When do I apply for her FLRm? Is it at the same time as my SET(lr) or after I recieve my decision.
Or do I extend my tier 2 for another two years and apply through 5 years rule so that my wife qualifies as well.
this new rule doesn't make any sense at all considering the timing of ILR route closure after April 2018 will leave us in further 4 years wait to make it 14 years lawfull residence till she qualifies.
I will appreciate if someone offers some advice here.

Hope you guys are well. HO made a change on 6th april in Part 8 which is about transition.HO office has changed the law and excluded PBS dependents to take that transitional route if they get ILR by long residency NOW IT DOSENT MATTER WHEN U ENTERED OR SWITCHED AS PBS DEPENDENT AS YOU CANT EXTEND YOUR STAY UNDER PART 8. We can check THIS CHANGE in Part 8 284 (c) as under.

284. The requirements for an extension of stay as the spouse or civil partner of a person
present and settled in the United Kingdom are that:

(i) the applicant has or was last granted limited leave to enter or remain in the United
Kingdom which meets the following requirements:

(a) The leave was given in accordance with any of the provisions of these Rules;
and

(b) The leave was granted for a period of 6 months or more, unless it was granted
as a fiancé(e) or proposed civil partner; and

(c) The leave was not as the spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner
of a Relevant Points-Based System Migrant; and

So lets be very clear about it that any one applying FLR(m) after 6th april have to fill 7a for finances and then wait for 5 years to apply for settlement. If you guys read through last one months discussion on this forum it will be very helpful to clarify this ambiguity. I my self applied for my partner's FLR (m) on 5th april just to avoid these new rules. The application forms are almost same as before April 6 as Law is changed.

Regards
