ILR 180 days for Tier 1 depedent, please suggest

[puneetdwd]

I got my tier 1 extension till Jan 2013 along with my wife....I would need another extension as till Jan 2013 I would be around 9 months short of completing 5 years (came UK 9 months after getting my T1 visa)...

My wife joined 6 month later which means she is (6+9) 15 months short, later she went back India again for around 6+ months.

In a nutshell, does a Tier 1 dependent need to follow the same rule 90/180 continous stay in UK to be illegible for ILR ? or its just the main applicant who has to follow the 5 year conidtion and dependent can become ILR dependent on Me. Please clarify.

Many Thanks

No.
