Is it true. |
No, the paragraphs you refer to relate to deportation. |
Sushdmehta,
Many users are saying that ten years ILR is been changed to 14 years, Is it true?
Please confirm and can you please post the link so that I can update myself.
Thanks in advance |

Sorry if my question has already been answered - I couldn't find this information anywhere.
Do the new rules (9/July/2012) affect spouses of EEA citizens who wish to apply for a Residence Card? For example, a south american wife of an Italian citizen who would like to apply for a Residence Card after 9/July/2012?

Casa, thank you.
Is there any official communication about this matter (EEA's and the new rules)? The documents that I read weren't very clear about it. |

I'm on Tier1 General and due for my ILR in June 2013. My current leave expires in Feb2013, so I will be going for an extension later this year. My question is as I'll be applying for an extension after July 9, will the new rule for dependent apply? I've been in the UK since Jun 2008 and my wife joined me in Nov 2008. As we will be applying for an extension after July 9 will she be eligible for ILR in June 13 along with me or will we have to wait till Nov 13.
Thanks for your help. |

My understanding would be:
- You apply for your ILR and at the same time get an FLR for your wife
- Once your wife got an FLR you can apply for her ILR straight away subject to the English language criteria
Experienced forum members should be able to give you the 'correct' advice, as I am not the most experienced in this area.

Question. On which basis would the wife qualify for ILR straight-away? |

Since the wife came on a dependent VISA in the UK and already lived over 2 years. Once given on FLR, she automatically meets the minimum 2 years criteria. If the two years criteria is not met she also meets the NEW 5 years criteria.

Thanks, I understood the wife can settle under Paragraph 319E, but do not get why the spouse needs another FLR if they already have leave to remain as a PBS dependent? |

Thank you very much for your support and comments, as per old rules My wife was entitled to apply ILR along with me.
New rules are not clear about minimum requirements to apply ILR for my wife.
She lives with me in UK from last 4.5 years and we got married 7 years ago.
My question is , does my wife required to live minimum 5 years in UK... to apply ILR ....?
Or 2 years stay enough to apply ILR.....?
Could you please add your comments for this... |

If she is the married dependant or the unmarried dependant of someone on PBS, and has accumulated 2 years minimum on this visa, she can convert to FLR(M) and then straightaway after getting the 2 years FLR(M) apply for ILR...but the rules has just changed...i don't know if she will be classed under the old rule ( if there is some exemption for her in the new rule) or when applying for FLR(M) she will have to meet the new rule and will be given 2.5 years leave first instance followed by 2nd instance of 2.5 years leave. If this is the case, then i presume, she will have to be on the PBS dependant visa and spouse visa for a combination of 5 years duration before she can apply for ILR , e.g however number of years she has been your PBS dependant + whatever more years she will need on FLR(M) to make it a total of 5 years.
Has she been your PBS dependant throughout last 4.5 years she has been in the UK?

This is a kind of grey area due to the changes now. I remember reading that these changes will not effect existing VISA holders that come under this particular VISA scheme. However it seems like your wife may come under the 5 year scheme instead of the 2 years.
Looking at the detail posted I think 'NPKILRApp' is in a good situation. You can apply for her VISA once the full five years complete (just a matter of 6 months or so) to be on the safe side.
