pbs dependent [ ICT + Skilled ] applying for ILR

Post by avinash126 » Wed Jun 25, 2025 9:01 pm

Hi Team,

My self have arrived in UK with my family [ wife + kid ] on 2020 Jan on ICT Visa.
in 2020 September have moved to Skilled worker but for my dependents they remained on ICT pbs dependent partner till 2021 September.
This September i am planning to apply for ILR for all 3 as we are completing my 5 years.
Would like to know if dependents both [ Partner + child ] will also be eligible or not. [ ICT pbs dependent 1 year + Skilled Pbs dependent 4 years ].

I am married for 10 years, and visited UK during 2017 - 2018 also once before.

Kindly advise.

It is a common misconception that the old PBS dependant routes were different. There was never a separate dependant route for various PBS dependants at all. They were all issued under the same route as 'PBS dependant'. Most PBS routes have largely been abolished over the years.

You will now be applying under the skilled worker rules and the current ILR rules for skilled worker route do NOT care about the type of the dependant visa of your dependant as long as your spouse has been your 'dependant partner' for 5 years (even time spent under the family route counts). You can all apply together
