Hi Seniors!
I just phoned home office and was told that my partner's ILR qualifying period would start from zero if I go on ILR Long Residence. I qualify for ILR (LR) in September 2014 but partner's ILR qualifying period would be 5 years starting from zero if she switches to FLR (M) according to home office.
Case is:
Student Visa: Sep 2004 - June 2009
PSW (Point Based): June 2009 - June 2011
Tier 1 (General): April 2010 - May 2015
Partner:
PSW Dependant Partner: Visa Issue Date: Dec 2009 - June 2011
Entry to UK: March 2010
Tier (1) General Partner: April 2010 - May 2015.

Can anyone advise me please in this regards. Thanx in advance!

Yes, those PBS deps that apply to switch to FLR(M) after 6 April 2014 must complete 5 years with a Financial Requirement and A1 English.
