Dependent 6 days short for ILR

Hi Everyone;

looking for some advice as frankly I’m a bit disappointed and shocked at myself for not noticing this earlier. I’m currently in the UK on a Tier 2 General visa sponsored by an employer, my wife is my dependent, both our visas expire on 8/07/2019 which is not a problem for me to hit 5 years required to apply for ILR, however, it has just come to my attention that my wife visa started a few weeks after mine (for reasons I can't recall). so, we have different Tier 2 start dates but same expire date.

So even then I apply this formula: date you arrived in the UK + 5 years (365 days) - 28 days, she can only apply on 14/07/2019 - meaning she's 6 days short!!!!

it's worth noting that she was also my dependent on PSW VISA before we both switched to Tier 2.

what are our options to ensure she gets to apply for ILR with minimal risk? post application? extension for her visa before we both apply for ILR?

many thanks for your advice in advance.

Useful to state what date her first tier 2 dependent visa was issued!!!

Also what her full UK immigration history is including all important dates.

thanks for your speedy response!

Hi;

found this on the UKBA website regarding "PBS Dependant - Partner" section:

https://assets.publishing.service.gov.u ... 7-2018.pdf

""6. You can qualify for indefinite leave to remain if you meet the following conditions:
a. As a dependent partner:

How applicable is this to our situation?
