Tier 1 General Child entry clearance expiry, both parents?

The main applicant visa expires after 2 years, tier 1 parter dependent expires in 8 months.
I am applying for an entry clearance as tier 1 dependent for a new born baby overseas.

Which period will be granted ? The expiry on the main applicant viaa (2 years) or my wifes visa (8 months)?

In the tier 1 dependents guide:

Periods of grant
30.  We will grant leave in line with the expiry date of the PBS migrant’s (or main applicant’s) leave,
except where the PBS migrant has been granted indefinite leave to remain. In these cases, we
will grant you a period of three years leave. An application for further leave may then be made if
required to take you up to the applicable qualifying period for indefinite leave to remain.
Applying

But in the immigration rule 319I:
319I. Period and conditions of grant
(a) Entry clearance and leave to remain will be granted for:
(i) a period which expires on the same day as the leave granted to the parent
whose leave expires first, or
(ii) Where both parents have, or are at the same time being granted, indefinite
leave to remain, or have since become British citizens, leave to remain will
be granted to the applicant for a period of 3 years.


So which is correct ?

Also, can my wife who haa valid tier 1 visa to apply for an entry clearance from outside the uk ? It is cheaper and quicker


Thanks

319I(a)(i) would apply.
If your wife applies for a dependant entry clearance, then its expiry should be in line with yours (319D). However, it's unclear if her continuous leave will be broken as a result of applying for entry clearance. But as she still has leave for 8 months, there is a strong argument that it's not broken. Safest to get written confirmation.

319I a says for both entry clearance and leave to remain
So is possible for the child to have a visa that expires aftrr mother dependent visa ?

Also, regarding ILR, my wife already broke the 180 days rule. Btw does this affect my ilr application in the future ? As long as i have ILR (in the future) will i be able to get visa for them ?

Hold on, if i get ILR, what my wife will need to get ILR? Does she need to be here for 180 days a year ?

If you get ILR under PBS, then she would need to satisfy 319E to get ILR.

There doesn't appear to be a 180 days rule for dependants.

I was talking about an entry clearance for a child, not my wife. My wife already has a dependent visa that expires before my visa,il my question was, for how long the grant will be valid for? in line with visa or his mothers visa which expires before my visa?

I thought that the 319I(a)(i) was explicitly clear. Child's leave would be in line with the parent's (i.e. mother's) leave that expires first.

If child was born in the UK, then it's different under 304-309.
