Dependents of former PBS now ILR

[Taiwo123]

I am formerly a PBS immigrant but had acquired ILR through Long Residence. My Spouse and two children need to apply for their ILR after being on the PBS dependant for 5 years. Which form will they use? Are they required to provide maintenance fund and still score 80 points

[vinny]

Wife and children should apply for FLR(M).

Wife and children should apply for FLR(M).

Why not through SET[0] because they've spent 5 years already on PBS and are now qualify for ILR

[CR001]

Because you applied for ILR based on long residence and NOT 5 years PBS migrant. There is no alternative but for your family to apply on FLR(M) and start a new 5 year route to ILR.

Please do click on the links vinny has provided. The rules for PBS dependents of ILR long residence migrants changed in April 2014.

[vinny]

Agree with CR001. There appears to be no provisions for them to qualify for ILR under 319E or 319J.

The spouse or parent didn't get indefinite leave to remain as a Relevant Points Based System Migrant, but under Long residence.

Therefore,

319E(b) fails.
319J(e) fails.
