ILR for Spouse

[immiquestion]

Hi

I have a question with regards to my situation, I am on ILR eligible for citizenship May 2016. My wife is on a tier1 dependent visa and she will be eligible for ILR Nov of 2017 once she completes 5 years. I have an opportunity to move out of the UK for a job and wanted to find out what happens to my wife dependent visa/eligibility for ILR next year if I decided to move.

Many thanks

Until she gets ILR, your wife is dependent on you being in the UK. If you leave, the basis for her visa/leave to remain ends.

Then if you return, she will need to start all over again, under the rules in effect at that point in time.

This makes sense. Thanks for replying
