Tier 1 General (PBS Dependent) - Continous period
Posted: Thu Jan 18, 2018 10:50 am
Respected Members and forum gurus,
I have already booked my wifes ILR appointment for next week. I just saw a few threads now and realized that the continuous period rule has been reintroduced. What a strange thing by HO. Following is my wifes scenario:
First time arrived in the UK on 8th February 2013. She went back home on a maternity break from 12th October 2013 till 20th April 2014. (Total 190 days). There have been other leaves and holidays as well but none of them have exceeded maybe 40-50 days.
However since there was no continuous period rule I calculated her 5 years of continuous residence based on the following dates:
8th February 2013
8th February 2014
8th February 2015
8th February 2016
8th February 2017
8th February 2018 - 5 years completed.
Based on the 28 days rule to apply for ILR before completing 5 years, i could apply anytime after 11 January 2018. So I booked appointment for next week.
Her current Tier 1 General Dependent visa is valid till March 2018.
Can someone tell me now what is the scenario? Can she apply for ILR next week? If not then what is the visa that she needs to apply for in March 2018?
