Eligibility to settle in the UK

Post by manjeera » Wed Sep 02, 2015 8:11 pm

Hi all,

I have a question regarding the category I can apply the visa in.
My husband has permanant residency in the UK from 21/10/2011 which he got through 5 year work permit route. Not a Tier 1/Tier2 or Tier 5 visa.
we got maried in India on 06/08/2012 and I applied for settlement spouse visa on 28/11/2012 in India and she was granted the visa on
28/02/2013.I came to UK on 08/03/2013.My Visa expires 28/11/2015 and I was planning to apply for an extension using FLR(M) soon.
When I was going through the home office site I came across the section ' Who can apply to settle in the UK' and I noticed that as the partner of a
settled person who has settled on a work visa (type 'any other work visa' and not Tier1/Tier2 or Tier 5 visa) should be able to apply to settle in the UK after
living 2 years in the UK using the form SET(O).
I am confused, since my husband has got his ILR through the work permit route, does it qualify me to apply after 2 years instead of waiting for 5 years.
Id rather apply for the ILR if I qualify instead of applying twice. Does anyone have any knowledge of this rule?
Can anyone help please?

This is the link to site.
the options I have chosen are
1st- you're the family member or partner of someone who has settled in the UK
2nd- on work visa
3rd- any other work visa

Hope this helps
Thanks in advance

Asking the same question in a new thread won't change the answer.

You need an extension on FLR(M). You don't qualify for ILR because you need 5 years residence on a spouse visa.
