Partner of settled person

[anandvincent78]

I am on a Tier 2 Visa that is valid until 13-10-2014.
My wife is on a PBS dependant visa with the same validity and which was issued on 24-10-2011.
I will be applying for ILR on the 10 years long residence category in August 2014.
What visa should my wife apply for?

[Amber]

FLR(M), A1 English and Financial Requirements.

Amber, thanks for the reply.
After applying for FLR(M) when can she apply for her settlement visa?

[Amber]

After 5 years, 2 x FLR(M) and then SET(M) or if she qualifies for SET(LR) in the interim period.

@Amber

What if Financial requirement not meet???

Than which form and category

Regards

[Amber]

If the Financial Requirement is not met then possibly leave under FLR(FP) depending on the circumstances.

[anandvincent78]

Are you sure my wife can apply for FLR (M). In the FLR(M) application form I find this

You must not use this form to make an application for an extension of stay in the following categories:
• On the 10 year Partner route under Appendix FM of the Immigration Rules. You must complete form FLR(FP).

[Amber]

That's a different route, if you don't meet the Financial Requirement for FLR(M) only then consider FLR(FP).

Thanks, Amber. You have been very resourceful.
