I’m applying for ILR but what visa would my wife apply for?

[Dzman]

Hi all,
I have been on Tier 2 general visa for just under 5 years and soon i’ll Be able to apply for ILR. The dilemma I have is that my wife is on tier 2 spouse visa but she has been on it for 2 years only (I.e. would not be able to apply for ILR with me). We both have about one year left on our tier 2. If I do get ILR granted to me, would this invalidate my wife’s current visa? Does she have to switch to another visa (which one?)? Or is she able to continue on her tier 2 spouse until it expires next year?
I appreciate your help in advance
Thanks

NO. Her visa will still valid until expired.

Before her visa expired,she can continue to renew with PBS dependent, as long as you get ILR by 5-year PBS route. NEVER switch her visa to spouse of settled person, this would reset her clock to zero and count 5years again.

Hi all,

Apologies if similar questions have been posted before but I’d like to confirm the date from which I can apply for ILR.

I was granted Tier 2 starting from 4/6/2013
I entered the UK on the 29/6/2013

Is it 28 days before the 29/6/2018?
