Tier1 General Dependant ILR

[apocolypto]

Hi All,

Thank you for reading this post and hopefully for helping me too.

I am current on Tier1 General and will be eligible for ILR on 12/03/2014.

My wife was given Tier 1 General dependent Visa on 28/02/2012 expiring on 12/03/2014 from Pakistan. She came to UK on 04/04/2012.

I know she qualifies for ILR based on two years stay rule. My question is:

a) Are these two year worked out based on dependent Visa issued date? i.e. 28/02/2012 to 12/03/2014 ... which makes is just over two years and we are fine.
b) Or .. these two years are counted from when my wife entered UK? i.e. 04/04/2012 to 12/03/2014 ... which makes it about just under 2 years. About 1 year , 11 months and 8 days and we are in trouble.

If the verdict is case B and she will be in UK for about 20 days less than 2 years then what will be coarse of action when her visa expires?

What do I need to do? its very very close .. and I really hope that UKBA takes the visa issue date into consideration which means I can apply for both of our ILRs together.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Thanks,
