COMPLETING 10 YEARS BUT DEPENDENT IS ONLY 2 YEARS IN UK

Dear members,

I want to thank you in advance for the great effort and support that you are giving and I really appreciate. Please carry on your good works and i am willing to share my experience here in future.

here is my matter if someone can advise,

I am applying for my 10 year long residency in 2 months time ( september 2014) and my current visa runs out just few days after i apply for the ILR.
My dependent is in Uk only for 2 years and her visa ( PSW dependent ) runs out same day i run out my visa. ( Both visas runs out in end of September 2014)

Question
What application should my dependent use?
does she have to meet financial requirement and english requirement?

Please kindly advise.
thank you

Hi Vinni,
I will be applying my ILR 10 years next month and my wife's visa expiring in 2016. I dont want to switch her visa this year as i dont have money. can she stay on tier 1 dependent till the end of visa and apply just few days before expiry of her visa.
I am confused as some one told me that she has to switch within 28 days after i get my ILR.

I believe she should apply before her leave expires or before she travels outside the UK, whichever is sooner. I haven't seen any 28 days requirement for dependants switching.

Hi Vinny, Thank you for the prompt reply... what do you think about FLR (FP) ? ...When do we use this form??

Thank you

If the applicant couldn't meet the Financial and/or English Requirement, FLR(FP) May be an alternative.

does that mean dependent still can apply using FLR(FP)? what is your best advise if the dependent can meet financial and english requirement??
will the application be refused because of choosing wrong application form?
Thank you

If they meet both requirements FLR(M).

Thank you Amber

Dear Members ,

it is great to see important information regarding the time spent in crowns dependences ( Channel Islands or the Isle of Man) counts towards the 5 years long residency. do you think lawful residence in UK under crowns dependencies visa could count towards 10 year long residency in UK?

Can you please explain the lawful residency in UK?

do you think following instructions covers lawful residency in uk for 10 year lawful residency? much obliged if you can share your ideas, Hi amber what do you think?

thank you
