Hi
Hope you all good
My spouse got PBS dependent visa. She needs to apply for ILR. I got ILR through Tier 1 General route. Last time My spouse has to extend PBS dependent visa because she been in UK only for 4yrs 10months. So she got 3yr extension last time which is completing this month
What are the supporting Documents required for my spouse to Apply for ILR?
Please can you help me with this
Thank you
Regards
Rock

I think your wife
should have applied for ILR under
319E prior to 1 December 2020, before the PBS dependant rules were changed. Why did she wait so long?

Give
it a go.
Rely on legitimate expectations? If they refuse because they changed the rules on 1 Dec 2020 and forgot to cater for dependants of former Tier 1 (General) ILR holder, etc., then complain in the strongest possible ways.

Hey RockSims
Hope you are doing good.
Can you please update how you dealt with the situation?
As per the suggestions from Vinny and also doing some research on gov.uk website, there is no option coming to renew Tier 1 general/Entrepreneur PBS dependent visa till it qualifies for ILR. (I mean if there are a few months left till the 5 year period is completed, one would need another extension to make it up for remaining months)
Moderators please don't block the thread as I am not putting in any query, I am following the thread and just need to update my information.
Many Thanks

This is ONLY about Tier 1 General dependants NOT Tier 1 Entrepreneur dependants. The PBS rules remain in place for Tier 1 Entrepreneur applicants and dependants
