Hello
I’m In a bit of a pickle as to what to choose

I’m on a tier 2 dependent visa and 2 years away from ILR, my wife is my dependent 3 years away.
Unfortunately she can’t work as a “doctor in training” but can as non training which is horrible for career progression.

She can start training in 3 years with ILR

1. However I was wondering if when I get my ILR in 2 years could she switch from a dependent to a spouse/family visa which doesn’t have restrictions? YES

2. If so would this reset the clock for ILR? YES

3. Would she have to go back home to switch? NO

Many thanks
