Tier 2 Dependent ILR eligibility

[waqas.sabir]

Hi, I am not sure if this has already been discussed elsewhere because I have looked through FAQ's and previous post but could not find the suitable answer.

My friend Tier2 migrant who is going to apply for ILR in March2013 but his wife who was granted entry clearance on 15 April 2011 and first entered UK on 05/05/2011. She will be a roughly 2 weeks short of 2 years when main applicant will apply for ILR (end of march 2013). But there is history to her visa. they got married in 2010 she applied visa nov 2010 but got refused dec 2010 because of UKBA mistake but decision was overturned in April 2011. Will that help her towards her 2 years proof of relationship. Is there a big risk if they both for for PEO appointment or simply main applicant should apply for ILR at and then his wife should apply for ILR by post which will cover her 2 weeks gap approx. Can FLR be an option??

Although your attempt to help your friend is applaudable, I can already see this situation requiring more detail from your friend for anyone to help him. It is best your friend himself posts here, and benefits from this forum.

Can you please tell what additional details are required, he will reply himself.

Key dates as follows

Tier 2 dependent visa stamped 15/04/2011
Entry in UK 05/05/2011
Visa Expires 05/04/2013

Main applicant completes 5 year by 31/03/2013 and hence applying for ILR in march 2013, question is can dependent apply at the same time as well. If for eg they apply on 25/03/2013 dependent will be roughly 2 weeks short of 2 years.

Replies will be appreciated.
