You can add your previous stay towards qualifying period.

but Mr rgurung is on PSW previously which not a route to settlement..
unless I am missing something from his situation
Since the dependent came to UK in Dec 2009 which is Pre-July on a dependent visa he/she would fall under the first condition of the first if (Qualifying Period).rgurung wrote:Hi all,
can someone on the know elaborate on the 2/5 years qualification period for an ILR dependent, where:
1. The dependent of the current ILR resident came to the UK in Dec 2009 as the dependent ofa Tier 4 Student.
2. She got her visa extended as a PSW dependent for another 2 years.
3. She now has her visa extended on FLR (M) application, with her sponsor granted ILR.
Can she apply for ILR now or in 2 years or in 5 years time? Accurate answer is very much appreciated.
Many thanks.
Because the dependent was on a non settlement route he/she would fall under the first condition of the second if (Calculating Qualifying Period).
