There is no separate section for Tier 2 dependents, in fact is mentioned that:Tier 1 Entrepreneur and Tier 1 Investor dependant partners
You must not include any absence from the UK during periods of leave granted under the Rules in place before 11 January 2018 towards the 180 days allowable absences. For example, if a dependant partner’s qualifying period includes initial leave granted from 1 February 2015 to 31 January 2018, and an extension granted from 1 February 2018 to 31 January 2020, you must not count any absences before 1 February 2018.
My husband's absences are as follows:Period between the issue of entry clearance and entering the UK
The period between entry clearance being issued and the applicant entering the UK may be counted toward the qualifying period. Any absences between the date of issue and entry to the UK count towards the 180 days allowable absence in the continuous 12-month period. The applicant does not need to provide evidence to demonstrate the reason for delayed entry.
If the delay is more than 180 days, you can only include time after the applicant entered the UK in the continuous period calculation.
Thank you Zimba, much appreciated. However, what about the below:Zimba wrote: ↑Wed May 04, 2022 8:53 pmAbsences for PBS dependant visa periods issued before 11 Jan 2018 do NOT count
You must count ONLY full days of absence from the UK for a visa period issued AFTER 11 Jan 2018.

Yes. As you were told before, this is why you need AQUALS but you do NOT need the ELPSjaideepnaidu.12 wrote: ↑Mon Jul 11, 2022 7:23 pmHello All,
As per https://www.gov.uk/government/publicati ... ly-members it says that if a degree is completed in the USA it is assumed to be an appropriate CEFR level. Does this mean I would still need an ECCTIS letter ?? I am applying for ILR as a Dependent. My latest degree is from USA.

For this service, we can only assess qualifications that
are considered comparable to a Bachelor, Master’s or PhD degree in the UK and
were taught solely in English.
We compare your university (Higher Education) degree(s) to the standard of Bachelor, Master’s or PhD in the UK. This is the Academic Qualification Level Statement (AQUALS).
And, if your degree was not studied in a majority English-speaking country, we also confirm the level of your English language proficiency based on your qualification and according to the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR). This is the English Language Proficiency Statement (ELPS).
