Can a tier 2 visa holder apply as dependent for ILR?

[Cocoaliz]

Hello,

I currently hold a tier 2 work visa and will become eligible for the ILR in next year in December. However my husband who also holds a tier 2 work visa is eligible for ILR now. Can I apply for ILR along with him right away as a dependent or should I wait until December next year?

Thanks

No you cannot because you do not hold a Tier 2 General dependent visa.

should I wait until December next year?

Yes.

Thanks for your response.

If I convert to tier2 dependent visa, would that reset my clock for ILR?
