See also Applying from inside the UK and related links.

Note by switching to FLR(M), her qualifying period for ILR in this category will be reset.

Thanks vinny
for quick reply,
my only concern is do my sister have to show her progress during her stay as tier 1 general migrant.
bcz she done only part time job during her period
so she now want show both their earnings as 18600.
is that ok or any problem will be ?
Thanks

What do you mean by "show her progress during her stay as tier 1 general migrant"?

[ksharmin]

I mean.
as a tier 1 general migrant people have to earn 35k per anunun,
to keep extend or getting ilr.
so in that case she could not continue for personal reason.
in the mean time she does only part time job for individual employer.
Thanks

I don't think that would be relevant. She will have to meet the requirements for FLR(M).

Thank you so much vinny,
she was so upset coz
generally we can see when student going to extend their visa they need to show previous academic progress.
as a tier 1 general migrant when they go for extend their visa or ilr then they have to show previous financial progress like 35000 per anunun.

so my concern was
if my sister now want switch her visa as a ilr dependant does she still need to show she is earning 35k as with limited company or self employed.
coz after approved her tier 1 general visa she stooped earnings that much.
only she done part time job.
that's why I want to know still she need show her earnings 35k?

she want to show to switch [FLR M ]with her part time job income with 12 month payslip, bank statement, employer letter.
and the rest amount her husband will show with his income
to fullfill 18600 pond
plz let me know
thank you

I think that 245CB lays out the conditions her leave that she has to satisfy as a Tier 1 (General) holder. 245CA are the requirements if she wanted to extend under Tier 1 (General).

FLR(M) has different requirements (R-LTRP, etc.).
