Correct. Unfortunate that the question wasn't asked before your spouse applied for ILR.So the only option is to restart my visa (FLR-M) and wait another 5 years before I can apply for ILR myself
Not sure what you mean by 'apply for a dependent'. FLR(M) is the same visa whether your spouse is British or holds ILR. Being British when you apply makes no difference. Besides, how would your wife qualify for British citizenship in August 2019 when she only got ILR in October 2018??Or would it be better if I wait until August 2019 for my wife to get her British Citizenship and then apply for a dependent?
There is no super priority or fast track process for citizenship applications. It can take a few weeks and up to 6 months before she gets a decision. So waiting for that is irrelevant to your situation given that your visa expires in about 4 months.Sorry, didn't know FLR(M) is the same for ILR or Citizen. Her ILR was actually granted in August 2018, i misread
No, it cannot be granted for 5 years. It is a 2.5 year visa and then reapply for a further 2.5 year visa.So seems like there's no other option for me.. Can the FLR (M) be granted for 5 years? or will it be 2.5 years, and reapply again for 2.5 years?
