She needs to spend five years under FLR(M) unless she reaches the requirements for 10 year ILR in her own right (absence requirement met etc.). Switching category to a family visa (as opposed to PBS) re-set her ILR clock, and you had no choice but to do so.nasir639 wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 9:04 pmHi,
My wife came to UK in 2011 as a TIER 1 dependant and spent 5 years on it. When I applied for my ILR through the10 year route she had to change her application to FLR M from SETO.
She received her FLR M in March 2018. Does she have to spend another 5 years now before she can apply for ILR or is there any provision for her to apply any earlier.
Thanks in anticipation.
Thanks for your reply. I have the same understanding as you said but someone did mention to me a provision where she can apply earlier. I thought it might be worth asking.physicskate wrote: ↑Sat Sep 08, 2018 9:50 pmShe needs to spend five years under FLR(M) unless she reaches the requirements for 10 year ILR in her own right (absence requirement met etc.).

There was a transitional provision but this was removed in April 2014. See link below. She has to wait 5 years on FLR(M) or if she reaches 10 years residence first, she can apply on Set(LR).
