Hi, We are in the same situation.....the only thing is that I have my current visa valid till 2014 but my husband will change to ILR.saqibs wrote:Hi Chaps,
I have really confused what to do in this instance. Actually whole story is:
I got hsmp visa on 26/02/2008 and came to UK on 20/04/2008. Got extenion in 2010 for next three year and now My visa is going to expire on 26/02/2013. I am going for ILR now.
I got married in April-2011, My wife got visa and came to UK in July-2011.
She is currently on same status as me and consider my dependent.
But She doesn't complete 24months so according to my information she is not eligible for ILR.
Now I am confused how and what visa should I apply for her. Need your experience help.
Many Thanks
that's only applicable to new applicants - in OP's case the first dependent visa was issued 2011, prior to the rule changes, an FLR switch won't make it 5 years.Simi UK wrote:...if you apply for FLR she will have to wait for 5 years in order to become eligible for ILR as per new rules.
What I have gathered is that if you move to FLR than it becomes 5 years for you.....I may be wrong but this is the reason why they started PBS dependent extension!!!ban.s wrote:that's only applicable to new applicants - in OP's case the first dependent visa was issued 2011, prior to the rule changes, an FLR switch won't make it 5 years.Simi UK wrote:...if you apply for FLR she will have to wait for 5 years in order to become eligible for ILR as per new rules.
