Dependent ILR querry

Post by cricket79 » Sun Jan 18, 2015 1:21 pm

Dear all
I have a query and would appreciate responses to clarify this. I searched but did not find posts akin to mine.
I am eligible to apply for ILR under Tier 2 PBS. My wife is also eligible for the same (Pre July 2012 category). I intend to apply for ILR in early February. My wife is in her home country, will not apply for ILR alongside me but will apply in April after she comes back over. Her PBS dependent leave is valid until June 2016. If I get ILR in February will she face any problem at the airport on her return? will immigration officer ask her why is she having PBS dependent status when main migrant has got changed status (ILR)?
I would really value your help on this issue. thanks very much.

she will have no problem entering the UK. Even if she were not eligible for ILR before her PBS dependant leave expired, and after you obtained settlement, she could apply to extend her PBS dependant leave. See:
