ILR dependant 2 route - Please HELP

[unknown566]

Dear All,

I am currently on settlement dependant visa for a British national. I came to UK as Tier 1 General dependent in Feb 2014, on applying for extension I unintentionally applied under settled dependent route as at that time my partner has secured his ILR.

So my extension got the route changed in May 2016, now I have been advised that to apply for ILR I have to wait for 5 years on this route where based on my initial dependent visa I have completed my 5 years in Feb 2019.

Can you please advise if it is worth taking a chance to apply for ILR or they will simply reject it?

Regards

they will simply reject it?

You need 60 months on your current visa to qualify for ILR, which is next year April/May.

thank you but when I applied for extension my partner have moved from Tier 1 General to his ILR so naturally I would have assumed to apply under settled dependent can't I use that justification?

Not really no as the rules allowed you to continue as a tier 1 dependent and you chose not to or didn't do your research properly.
