ILR Dependant - Mine or Partner's Income?

[zen135]

Hello Experts,

I'm currently in the UK as a PBS Dependant under my partner's Tier 1 General Category valid until 2016.

I would be eligible for ILR on my own under the 10 yr long residence rules later this year. My partner would like to switch to ILR Dependant under me by applying for the visa outside the UK once I receive my ILR. She is currently employed full-time in the UK and earns a salary above £18,600.

Now, can she show her own salary of £18,600 earned in the UK (while under Tier 1 General category) to fulfill the financial requirements of the ILR Dependant visa application to be made outside the UK?

Or, would my salary alone would be considered for her initial ILR Dependant visa application?

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Regards.
