ILR eligibility for dependent need help

[fasaal]

hiya.

I got my ILR 2 days ago on the basis of 10 yrs (8 yrs student+ 2 yrs PSW). my wife joined me on april-2010 as an student dependent then got leave to remain as an PSW dependent. She also applied FLR(M) with me when I applied for my ILR. Today I got her passport & documents bk with a letter from HO that her BRP sent separately. I hope we'll get BRP today or tomorrow:).

Now my question is:-

1. Is she eligible now to apply ILR any time ?
2. what form she need to fill for ILR?
3. what documents need to require ?
4. any other requirement ?


plz reply me ASAP coz I m very much worry abt rules changing on 6th april

Thanks

1. Yes.
2. SET(M).
3 & 4. See the form SET(M) (2 year route).

As they have granted her FLR(M), the changes on 6th April 2014 shouldn't affect her.

Hi, i got that reply from HO last year

Dear Home Office

Could you please clarify one thing for me?

I got ILR under ten years long residency in June 2013 and my wife came very first time in UK in March 2006 as a student dependent. Now we got spouse visa on 02nd September, 2013 for 02 years (Pre July rules, probationary 02 years periods).

The question is, my spouse had spent approximately 06 years as a student dependent (from March, 2006 to June, 2012) and 15 months on Tier 1 (PSW dependent).
When she can apply for ILR? Immediately or still need for 09 months more?

Thanks for your help

Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email dated 3 September 2013. Your enquiry has been forwarded to Home Office Public Enquiries because it is not a policy enquiry.
Please be advised that your dependant spouse would need to complete two years in the UK and can amalgamate her PBS leave together with any time spent under FLR(M) to make up the two years before applying for Indefinite Leave to Remain(ILR). Based on the information you have provided, if she has completed 15 months as the dependant of a Post Study Work migrant, she would need to complete an additional 9 months in the spouse category to achieve the required 24 months qualifying period for ILR. Time spent as a dependant of a student cannot be included.
