Dear All,
My wife is going to apply for ILR and I am applying at the same time as her dependent. Our initial visa was granted in 2009 and so we have to live for 2 years. My question is whether this 2 years should be continuous? I read several topics that other users could get ILR without any problem in this regard and also I could not find anything relevant in the rules.
The problem arose due to the following paragraph in the FAQ of this topic:
Entry clearance application as PBS dependant submitted before 09-Jul-12: The PBS dependant will always be subject to rules in place before 09-Jul-12. The PBS dependant must have lived with the principal PBS migrant in the UK for at least 2 years in a marital relationship, civil partnership or in relationship akin to marriage or civil partnership (319E(d)(i)). This "2 year" period need not be as a "dependant" and need to be "continuous". *** Probably unchanged? *** These requirements and conditions apply both when extending leave as PBS dependant (319E(d)(i)) or if switching to FLR(M) leave (287(a)(i)(d) or 287(a)(i)(e)) any time during the 2 years period to become eligible for settlement (***** CHANGES 6th April 2014 *****).
In my view it is just a typo. then could you please check and rectify it if it is necessary?
Thanks
