kogantivijay wrote:Hi everyone

Can you please help me with the below query. I have searched the forum but couldn't find any thing matching my condition

1. I have got Tier-1 General in 1-April-2011 for 2Years
2. Married in June 2012 and my wife applied for Visa outside UK in August-2012 and joined me in UK in Sept-2012
3. Have got a extension for me & my wife in 15-March-2013 for 3years i.e upto 1-April-2016

4. I will be eligible to apply for ILR prior to my visa expiry date i.e 1-Apriil-2016 as i will be completing 5Years and there is no gap of more than 180 days and i have enough points..

But I was told that my wife is not eligible for ILR as she came to UK after June-2012 and based on new visa rules she has to stay for 5 Years to get ILR.

Correct she need to spend 5 years continuous residence in order to qualify for ILR


So which Visa i need to apply for her when i will be applying for ILR and
you will apply Tier 1 G dependent extension for her form is

Thanks, so i assume she can apply for Tier 1 G dependent when i am applying for ILR..can we apply both the applications together ? If so how can she apply for Tier 1 G Dependent when my Tier 1 General visa will expire in 10-15 days before my ILR application.

No
Thats a relief how ever i am still not quite clear how can she apply Tier 1 G dendependt when my visa expires on April 2016 and when can she apply Tier 1 G dependent visa as earlier when she applied after marriage they didn't give for 2Years but until my expiry date.

Thanks in advance. Do let me know if you need further details.

I am also in the same situation as you. I would like to double check with you
your wife got extension as Tier1(General) dependent?
If yes what duration is it 2years / until your expiry?
