I am reading the Guides to apply as the dependant and I am confused about the following paragraph and I couldn't not find anything detail about these special paragraphs.
How can I know that whether I am on the visa related to those paragraphs?
Both of us were on SEPARATE Tier 2 General Visas and she got the ILR via 10 Years Route in Aug 2015. Since we were on separate visa before, I wasn't included as the Dependant when she applied ILR.If you were not last granted limited leave to enter or remain as the partner of a person
present and settled in the UK under paragraph 281, 284, 295A or 295D, you must not use this
form. The correct form to apply for further leave to remain on as a partner of a person
present and settled is form FLR(M).
Now I am thinking about applying ILR as the dependant of my wife. I would like to know which form I should use to apply for it. Some of my friends are even saying that I have to leave UK to apply as the dependant.
Her case is quite different. She depended on her husband before before she got her ILR and he depended back to her when she got it. Her husband had to leave UK, went back to home country and applied for ILR to re-enter UK.
Here is the short summary of the timeline...
2009 Sep - I arrived to UK as the Student
2010 Dec - I got PSW
2012 Apr - married
2012 Dec - I got my Tier 2 General
2013 Jan - she got her Tier 2 General
2015 Aug - she got ILR (10 Years Route)
Thanks in advance.
