Hopefully a silly question, but just thought I'd clarify if I may. If I am granted ILR on my own sometime between 8 Aug - 18 Sep, will my partner's existing tier 2 dependent visa remain valid and continue to build up her 5 year probationary period? There have been a number of ILR refusals in recent ...

Thanks again, I will plan to do two separate applications then.

Thanks CR001. The wizard on the gov site certainly does give some misleading advice!

As I understand it, my partner can apply for ILR around 21 Aug. Would you mind advising: 1. What happens if ILR is not granted prior to 31 Aug when her visa expires? 2. When will the ILR be valid from? If it’s only valid from 5 years after her tier 2 started (18 Sep 2019) then what happens between 1 ...

The visa was issued on 18 Sep 2014 and expires on 31 Aug 2019.

Hi, I would very much appreciate any advice regarding an ILR application for my partner and I. Our visa history is as follows: Me: Entered the UK on a tier 5 (YMS) visa in Sep 2012 Re-entered the UK on a sponsored tier 2 (general) visa in Aug 2014 which expires Aug 31 2019 Planning to apply for ILR ...
