Can i apply ILR when my PBS extension application inpgress

Post by Sam0102 » Wed Jun 03, 2020 11:04 am

Hi
While waiting for my PBS Extension application approval, i realized that i am eligible for ILR.
I have completed 5 years continuous residency in UK.

So is there anyway i can apply ILR on the top of my wife PBS extension application, so that i can save the PBS application fees and IHS fees ?

Any suggestions will be much appreciated.

Many thanks
Sam

What date was your first tier 2 dependent visa issued/granted??

Your previous posts suggests you don't qualify for ILR yet.

Hi
First initially got the PBS dependent visa on July 2015 to May 2020 because of my partner visa is till may so i am actually eligible for ILR in starting of july.

Since i got the visa less than 5 years i applied PBS extention but now i realized that this month i am eligible for ILR.

So can i apply ILR while i am waiting for the PBS extension approval ?

Many thanks
Sam
