Hi,
I entered the UK on Tier 4 general visa and upon completion of my MSc, I am sponsored for a 5 years Tier 2 General by my present employer. Two years later I got married and my wife joined me.

10.09.2013 - I entered UK on Tier 4 general
18.12.2014 - My Tier 2 General is Issued
09.01.2015 - Left UK for holiday
25.01.2015 - Entered UK (first passport stamp with BRP number mentioned)
02.02.2015 - I started working for my employer
30.11.2016 - Wife's BRP issued
22.12.2016 - Wife Enters UK
18.12.2019 - Both of our's Tier 2 valid until (General & dependent)

What would be my start date of 5 years period for the ILR application?
As my wife is not compleating the required period for the ILR application, what visa she would need? When to apply for that?

Thank you!

As you applied within the UK, it is the date your Tier 2 visa was issued.

As my wife is not compleating the required period for the ILR application, what visa she would need? When to apply for that?

She can apply to extend her PBS Dependent visa for a further 3 years. She must apply before her current visa expires.

Thank you very much for the information.

"She can apply to extend her PBS Dependent visa for a further 3 years. She must apply before her current visa expires." Would she need to apply once I receive the ILR? or once I apply for ILR? or do we have to apply together for two different types?

If you apply in person, she can also apply in person but must have a separate appointment after yours. If your ILR fails, her application will also fail. If your ILR is held for further checks, hers will fail or also be held.

She can also apply after you get ILR but she must apply before her current visa expires.

There is no rule that you must apply together.

Thank you very much

Wondering if there is any guidance around what Documents are required to extend PBS Dependent visa from within the UK?
Thanks!
