Hi all
I came to the UK in June 2008 as dependant of my Husband

Visa: Student dependant for 7 months

1st extension: Dependent PSW for 2 years

2nd Extension: Tier 1 (General) dependant for 2 years)

My husband got his ILR on 10 year basis recently.

I lived in this country for more than 4 ½ years now

My Teir 1 (general) dependant visa is expiring soon.

So my question is that what type of visa shall I apply for?

Shall I apply on FLR(M) form Or

Can I apply now for my ILR straight away? As I have seen in this forum

somewhere that I don’t need to apply on FLR (m) as I have already

spent 2 years qualification period as a dependent of a PBS migrant. Is it correct?

please answer.

Why did you not apply for ILR when your husband was getting his done?

However, considering you have been his dependent for more than 2 yrs and he has 10 yrs ILR then you can apply for ILR.

Hope this helps!

I didnt apply for ILR cause i was not eligible for it, he applied on 10 years basis and I have been living in this country only for 4 and half years
He got his ILR recently and I am his dependant as PBS migrant. Thanks
