Hi, I came to UK in Sep 2007 as Tier 2 Intra Company Transfer. I got HSMP in April 2010 valid for 2 years. In Jan 2011 I got Married with my wife in the UK in Nov 2010
and she moved to UK in Dec 2010
.
I complete 5 Years in Sep 2012, hence in Aug 2012 I become eligible for ILR. she completes 2 Years in Dec 2012. I extended my Tier 1 for 3 years hence now it is valid until 2014.
If I alone apply and get ILR in Aug 2012, would her current dependant visa be invalid? Is it advisable for me to wait and apply with her in Dec ? I am worried if any rules changed in next 6 months
Thanks,
x
Please help!

If you apply together when your wife becomes eligible (Dec 2012 according to you), then it would be one straightforward process. It is a just a matter of few months. Why not spend the next few months getting all the ppw ready, and reviewing the forum to keep yourself on top of things.
Thanks

hi, This means I can apply for ILR now and dependant can apply in the future ?
One more question around Q12
For all other economic migrants (Tier 1 (General), Tier 2), (spouse/partner) dependants must have lived with you 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)). This "2 year" period need not be as a "dependant" or "continuous". Initial application for leave as PBS dependant made after 08-Jul-12: The PBS dependant will be eligible for settlement only after completing "5 year probationary period as a dependant of the principal migrant".
My wife has spent a few months in the UK and live with me which amounts to 2 Month. can we bring ILR forward ?
please advise

I guess she is on dependent visa, in that case if you apply for ILR then her dependent visa will be invalid and would need to switch on ILR dependent.
