I hope an experienced member or an OP can help with my question regarding my wife's ILR application.
Timeline and Events:
May 2015: Wife was granted a T2G dependant visa and travelled to the UK - Expiry date: End of Nov 2017.
Aug 2017: Wife had to take two surgeries and her health situation was escalating.
Sept 2017: Wife had to travel back home and was admitted into a private hospital where she recovered after two months.
3 Nov 2017: I was granted my 2nd Tier 2 General visa "Job change".
End of Nov 2017: Wife submitted a new T2 G dependant application before the expiry date of the first permission "it was submitted at the last day"
December 2017: Wife was granted the new T2 G dependant visa.
Jan 2018: She travelled to the UK where she joined me.
- Ideally she'd be qualified to apply for ILR at June 2021, but the question is given that she's applied from outside the UK for the second T2 dependant visa would this mean that she broke the period for continuous residence?
Whilst reading through the Continuous Residence guidance I found the following paragraph:
Would this apply to her? Are we on the safe if we apply for her ILR now?Applications for permission that were made outside the UK on or after 26 November 2016 will not break the period continuous residence if:
• the applicant had permission when they left the UK and made a successful application for entry clearance before that permission expired; or
• the applicant had permission when they left the UK and made a successful application for entry clearance within 14 days of that permission expiring
Thanks in advance
