My wife will be applying for a dependent ILR (SET M) in a few week's time. Her current leave is as Tier 2 dependent which expires at the end of December this year. She does NOT qualify for ILR on form SET(M) as she does not hold a spouse settlement visa under Appendix FM. If she holds a PBS depende...

Dear Board Moderators, My wife will be applying for a dependent ILR (SET M) in a few week's time. Her current leave is as Tier 2 dependent which expires at the end of December this year. She is employed at the moment on the basis of Tier 2 dependent visa. Can she provide her ILR (SET M) application ...

I now understand from my future employer, it is difficult for them to process the tier 2 visa request at such short notice. I am just hoping if I apply for the ILR with a support letter from the current tier 2 sponsor and also from the future employer, it goes through. Your new employer letter is i...

You can hold a tier 2 visa for a maximum of 6 years. You will simply get a visa for the time left to make it 6 years in total.

There is no mandatory requirement to apply for ilr at exactly 5 years.

Thanks, this is useful.

Hi CR001 Thanks for your reply. Yes, what you said makes sense. Please correct me if I am wrong. However in my situation I couldn't have applied even before I resigned from current job as it's a contract job. So, the employer wouldn't be able to provide me with a letter that can confirm long term/pe...
