My wife is on dependent visa of Tier1 general from all most one year (stamped from home country 2nd July 2012) before the rules was changed for 5 yrs dependent visa.

But before July 2012 (dependent visa) she was on Tier-1 general, psw, student visa since 2007.

I am going to apply for ILR in Oct 2013 can my wife apply for ILR with me or she has to wait till July 2014

When does her current PBS dep leave expire? If before she qualifies for settlement (2 years as PBS dep) she will have to apply for a PBS dep extension. She can apply for settlement once she qualifies as 2 years PBS dep.

Hi Ish51,

Your wife might be eligible to apply for ILR with you assuming she was here with you in a marital status (cohabiting documents required) you need to show 2 years probationary period as per 319E(d)(i), please refer Dependants of ILR (economic, 5year route )
