Tier 1 Dependent - Visa approval letter from HO missing

[icon3001]

Hi All
I know that for my wife's ILR application she need the Tier 1 dependant approval letter which she received from Home Office.
It looks like she is missing that original letter which is received from Home Office when she applied for the first time from India.

I would like to know did she really miss it or Home Office did not send that letter and just stamped her passport with the Depenant visa please

Does it effect on her application for ILR please.

Thanks for your help

Hi All
I know that for my wife's ILR application she need the Tier 1 dependant approval letter which she received from Home Office.

Where is such a requirement mentioned?

I knew from forum that the original visa documents are required which I guess includes the visa approval letters. Is that not correct?

It would be difficult to produce a document which never existed or was never produced/issued.

You only know from the forum that other people presented those documents!! That does not make it a requirement!!!

Main Applicant (Myself) : Came to UK as Student in 2004

HSMP (In country VISA) : 01-Dec-07 To 30-Nov-09
Tier 1 18-Jan-10 18-Jan-13


Wife's Tier 1 General (Dependant) visa valid from: 09-Mar-10

She Came to uk on: 01-Jul-10 (after 112 days)
She went back to India after 1+ year in UK and lived in India for 8+ months (Total of 452 days outside UK).
She is now in UK living with me.

Tier 1 General (Dependant) visa valid to: 18-Jan-13

1. Am I correct that she can apply for ILR along with me in the same SET(O) Form as a dependant since the absent days does not count in dependant's case and she got Tier 1 (General) visa before 9 July 2010 and dont need to be physically living in UK with me for whole 2 years.
(She went for medical reasons)
