I have recently applied for a Long Residency visa after being a student for ten years, my wife have been in the UK for 6 months under the Tier 4 dependent, her visa finished in 2015, my question is that does my wife have to switch from Tier 4 dependent to Partner of settled person when i receive the visa or she can wait till the last month of her visa expiry? someone told me that points based dependent can apply to extend their points based dependent visa for three years before applying for a partner of a settled person? do I have to earn £18,600 for my dependent? I was on Tier 4 so I can not show that I was earning £18,600 in the past 12 months. is this gross or after tax? Please help < thanks
