Hello Guys,

Can you please confirm below queries

I have my British Passport pending in few months ( Main Applicant )

My wife have on been different categories since she came in UK that is 01/2009

Tier 2 General Dependent (01/2016 to 03/2019 )
ILR/ settled person dependant ( from 05/2019 - current)

She will be completing 5 yrs in UK in 01/2021

Can i apply for her ILR after 5 yrs considering she never had any issue with her immigration & but on different categories?

Or do i need to wait till 5 yrs to complete from she became dependent of settled person that is 05/2024?

Thanks

No. You can't combine visa categories for ilr based in 5 years.
Or do i need to wait till 5 yrs to complete from she became dependent of settled person that is 05/2024?
Yes.

Topics Merged!!

I already answered your question when you asked in March. The advice remains the same and does not change, your dependent needs 5 years in ONE SINGLE visa category, FLR(M) spouse for 5 years, before they can qualify for ILR.. I suggest stop listening to 'someone'.

For ILR, you would need either five years of residence in the UK on the same visa OR 10 years of continuous residence in the UK on different visas.

You can combine different visas on the 10 year Long Residence ILR route, not on the five year spousal visa route.
