Dear all,
I am going to apply for my ILR on the basis of 10 yr on 10 sep 2013 and I am currently on tier 2 general and my wife is on dependant visa under the tier 2 category joined me in 08-2010. I will apply my wife,s extension under FLR (M). My query is will my wife time spent on teir 2 dependant visa will count after spending 2 yr extension on FLR (m) as there is slight confusion after the change of rules in July 2012 where dependant have to spent 5 year . Can anybody guide me plz?
My wife= 3 year ( tier 2 dependant) + 2 yr (FLR M after 9 jul 2013) , will this qualify for ILR ?
Kind regards

At the moment she should be eligible for settlement once granted FLR(M) by virtue of immigration rule
287(a)(i)(d). Subject to meeting the requirements which will include the new English requirement at the time she applies for settlement.

I believe they go to different po box addresses although, both will be going to Durham. You should send the to the addresses shown, include a cover letter with flr(m) asking for a decision to be made after set(lr). If the dep visa will not expire, then perhaps send set(lr) and once yu receive the acknowledgment letter, send flr(m) with the reference number so they can be easily linked.

I am going to send my SET (LR) application and wife FLR(M) application to Home office at same time. Each application has different address though same city.
I am not sure either send FLR(M) form along with my SET(LR) form or post it separately to the address mentioned on the application???

I am nearly on the same boat. my Tier 1 expires in Dec2013 (so do my wife's). I have sent my application on 30th Sep and received Acknowledemet today (09/oct). I will include my application reference on my wife's FLR M which I am thinking about posting in a month.
FLR M should be sent separately as clearly mentioned by Amber. but if you don't have enough days to receive the acknowledgement, then send your details (name/dob/passport no/ ect) with her application and mentioned that u have applied for ILR on xyz date and to hold her application until a decision is made on yours.
hope thats clear enough!!
