A technical query,
My friend and his wife came to UK Together,
his wife was on dependant vissa all along,
they are both completing 10 years in the UK in December,
Can she apply for ILR before he does when they qualify.
Or does she have to wait for her husband to be granted ILR first,
Many Thanks
Hi Batley12,
There is no technicality in this case as your friend himself has an individual case and his wife completing 10 years as a dependent has her own independent case therefore both can apply individually on SET LR Form.
I had the same scenerio as me and my wife got our ILR issued couple of days back. We both applied on the same day at PEO Croydon with half an hour gap in appointment time but HO dealt our case separately and it was allocated to different case workers. Therefore, both individuals completing their 10 years long residence will be considered as an Individuals so they should apply separately on SET (LR) form. I hope my answer to your query has cleared the ambiguity.
