Thanks for the reply but I'm the main applicant with Tier1 General visa, which I have also mentioned in my first post.MANSOURI wrote:QUALIFYING FOR INDEFINITE LEAVE TO
REMAIN
To qualify for indefinite leave to remain in one
of the categories for which you must use form
SET(M), you must satisfy the requirements set out
in Part 8 of the Immigration Rules, which are on
our website.
One of the requirements is that you have to complete
2 years’ leave to enter or remain as the partner
of the person named in your application. That
period runs from
- the date on which you entered the UK with a
visa in the relevant category; or, if you did not
enter the UK with such a visa, from
- the date on which you were first granted leave
to remain in the UK in the relevant category
If you were granted leave to enter or remain as an
unmarried or same-gender partner and are now applying
for indefinite leave to remain as the spouse or
civil partner of the same person, the 2-year period
to be completed started when you either entered
the UK or were granted leave to remain as an
unmarried or same-gender partner.
With certain exceptions, applicants aged 18-64
must show that they have sufficient knowledge of
the English language and life in the UK in order to
qualify for indefinite leave to remain. See pages 5
and 6 of these notes for more information about
this.
