I got my ILR on 10 year basis in January 2014 and ready for British Naturalization my question is bit complicated,
My Spouse Arrived in UK as under below
Student dependent : 8 august 2007 - 2.1 years and 22 days (non PBS )
Switch to PSW (Tier1) PBS dependent 1 year 11 months (does it count towards qualifying period for ILR ? ).
Switch to Tier1 (General) PBS dependent 2 years 11 months outside country because of illness informed HO in FLR(M) Application.
Switch to FLR M 1 year (old rule pre 9 July 2012) in January 2014
She has been here total of 7.5 years in different visa categories with 13 months leave out of country below.
(2 Months) 1st March 2010 to 30 April 2010
(11 Months) sickness leave from Jan 30 2012 to 17 December 2012
The question is, is she eligible to apply for ILR set (M) or (o) for basis above ? as she has been PBS dependent twice as PSW/Tier1 General or she has to complete 2 years of her FLR (M) (1 year is also completed) and then apply and also if she is eligible for ILR what will be British naturalization criteria after getting ILR, is it immediate because she is here for last 5 years or wait for a year to apply for BC ?
please help as ILR fee will increase in April 2015 to £1500
Your advice will be highly appreciated.
Amber, John and sushdmehta gurus please.
