Do you have dependents in the UK on PBS Dependent visa??

If you apply for ILR based on 10 years long residence, your spouse cannot apply with you and will have to switch to FLR(M) which is a 2.5 year visa and meet the financial and English requirement. This will reset her clock for ILR based on years residence. She cannot apply for ILR based on PBS Dependent if you apply for ILR based on long residence.

I know mate but still my question is their is I m eligible for 10 years basis ????
Can I apply ilr on entrepreneur basis on one day service???

If you don't have any absence of more than 180 days then yes you will likely qualify for ILR based on long residence, as has been posted 100's of times on the forum. There is also no guarantee you will get a same day decision if you choose the same day service though.

No, there is no 'same day premium service' for ILR based on Tier 1 Ent, also as has been posted 100's of times on the forum.

Note that there are changes coming into effect regarding premium service etc, likely from December.

Note that we offer advice giving all options applicable to yourself and any dependents based on both routes to ensure you are aware of the clock reset and additional costs involved for the dependent. Note also that IHS is doubling at the end of the year too, so factor that into all your decisions.

I will leave others to comment further.

Good luck.

Read the document in the link below, it explains clearly about leaving the UK with a valid visa and returning within 180 days with a new visa.
