Wifes Eligibility for ILR
Posted: Mon Sep 02, 2013 9:30 pm
hi
have some confusion around my wife's eligibility on ILR
my wife was in UK on student visa and then PSW ( two years visa )
I was in Tier 2
we got married in April 2011 in UK and she obtained dependent visa(Tier 2 Dependent )
I received the ILR in Jan 2012 we applied again using SET M since my status was changed her new visa is valid till july 2014
Question
1. is she eligible to apply for ILR in her own right ? (two year dependent rule )
2. if no then when she is eligible ? July 2014 ?
3. if no to point 1 then do we need to do anything after my citizenship status change ? i.e. send another FLR (M) ?
4. if none of the above then when will she be eligible
the reason for my confusion
she has completed more then 2 years as my dependent
out of which
1 year as Tier 2 dependent
1 year as ILR dependent
and 4 months as British citizen dependent
so not sure how the two year rule works
your help is much appreciated
thank you
