ILR Eligibility "TIER 2 Partner" to "PBS Dependent"
Posted: Sun Jun 16, 2019 10:07 am
Hello Everyone.
Hope someone could help me clarify this.
There is a slight confusion around my ILR eligibility based on my current circumstances.
These are the visas that I held in the last 5 Years.
18-Jun-2014 to 14-Nov-2016 -> VISA TIER 2 Partner
17-Oct-2016 to 17-10-2019 -> PBS Dependent Leave to Remain
In 2016 my wife got ILR and my visa status changed to PBS dependent when I went for a renewal.
The clarification required here is whether the change to “PBS Dependent” resets the clock and do I have to complete the whole 5 years as PBS dependent?
Or does the initial 2.5 years period during which I held the “VISA Tier 2 Partner” can be counted towards the 5 years period required for ILR eligibility?
I couldn't find this specific situation documented in the home office guidelines and wanted to pick the brain of the ever helpful immigrationboard forums.
Thanks in advance for your help.
