Hi, I got my Tier 2 dependent visa in April 2012, entered UK in May 2012, extended it in 2015 to January next year.
My husband reached his Tier 2 5 year qualify period last month and plans to submit his ILR application next month, can I apply with him at the same time?
I just checked this document:
https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/s ... ts-v12.pdf
On Page 29 it says:
o be granted indefinite leave to remain as the partner of a PBS migrant, the applicant must:
• be the spouse, civil partner, unmarried or same sex partner of a person who is being,
or has been, granted indefinite leave as a PBS migrant
• have, or have last been granted, leave as the partner of the person who is being, or
has been, granted indefinite leave as a PBS migrant
• have been living with the PBS migrant in the UK in marriage or civil partnership, or in a
relationship similar to marriage or civil partnership for at least:
o 2 years - for applicants granted leave as the partner of a PBS migrant under the
rules in place before 9 July 2012 and who have since had continuous leave in that
category
o 5 years – for applicants granted leave as the partner of a PBS migrant under the
rules in place on or after 9 July 2012, who have since had continuous leave in that
category and, during that period, have met all the requirements of paragraph 319C
(a) to (e)
• be in a subsisting relationship with the PBS migrant at the time the application is made
(for more information, see related link: 2.0 - Genuine and subsisting relationship)
• intend to live together permanently with the PBS migrant as their spouse, civil partner,
unmarried or same sex partner (for more information, see related link: 1.0 - Partners)
• meet the knowledge of language and life in the UK requirements - for more
information, see related link
I guess since I got my dependent visa before 9 July 2012, I only need to meet the old 2 year probation period requirement as long as I didn't have more than 180 days outside UK in any 12 months, is that right?
Any help would be great, thank you.
