When to apply for ILR

[belgold]

Am a dependent of Tier 1 visa holder, my intial visa was issued on 05/12/2013, my date of entry is 01/02/2014. Visa extension was granted and valid until 20/02/2019. my spouse plan to apply for his ILR SET(O) on 6th of December 2018.

1.Can I apply with him on 06 December 2018?
2. Can the absence between the visa issue date and entry date be counted toward allowable absence

I assume you are a PBS dependant of a Tier 1E applicant. The answer to both of the questions is yes

[belgold]

Thanks for prompt response, Am a dependent of PBS Tier 1 investor. Do you mean the rule that state you have to live in the UK with your spouse for 5 years is not applicable for my case.

[zimba]

It does but in Jan 2018 rule changes made it possible to count the time since the visa issue date

Please help, if the main applicant has 175 days absence in their first year, can he apply using (5years-28days) for the ILR application date.
