Dependant status when Tier 1 Migrant applies for ILR
Posted: Mon Mar 03, 2014 2:07 pm
As a primary tier -1 General visa holder, my visa extension is valid till December 2016 and so is my wife's dependant visa. I'll be completing my 5 years of residency in the UK as Tier -1 General Migrant by October 2014 and will be eligible for ILR (Settlement). My wife was granted her Tier -1 dependant visa only in November 2013 and as per the immigration rules she will have to complete 5 years before she is eligible for ILR.
Can someone please suggest - Is it legal for my wife to remain on her Tier-1 General dependant visa (valid till December 2016) even after I'm granted my ILR? Or does she have to apply for ILR dependant's visa, along with my ILR application?
