Hi gm21

Congrats on getting your ILR. Just wanted to ask how short were your dependent in terms of 2 years rule.

Hi sushdmehta

I am in the same dilemma. My wife visa (Tier 2 dependent) was granted for 2 years and 17 days but she delayed her entry by 2 months. I am told by UKBA that I can include my dependent on the same form and it will be up to the CW discretion (considering the 3 months delayed entry rule) to grant her IL...

I will be applying for my wife FLR(M) on the same day as I am applying for my ILR. She is here in the UK on Tier 2 Dependent visa. Our Marriage certificate was always in English and is from Pakistan.

I hope this helps.
