the only thing i got is below which i didnt understand. what will be my wife case.

please can you explain. thx

Q - Does my spouse qualify with me for ILR?
A - For old style WP holders and HSMP migrants covered by HSMP JRs, all (adult) dependants qualify for ILR along with main applicant irrespective of length of stay in UK (196E). For all other economic migrants (Tier 1 (General), Tier 2), (spouse/partner) dependants must have lived with you in the UK for at least 2 years in a marital relationship, civil partnership or in relationship akin to marriage or civil partnership. This "2 year" period need not be as a "dependant of PBS migrant".

Did you not?


If you are a WP migrant / HSMP migrant covered by HSMP JR, then the answer is:
