Casa , any reference to back your statement ?Casa wrote:Dependants wouldn't be able to travel outside of the UK on a PBS dependant visa once the sponsor has been granted ILR under long residence.
Edit: Beaten by CR001
Couple of my friends wives travelled from UK and returned in same scenario .Casa wrote:You'll see that my comment (supported by CR001's post) was referring to travel. Technically the PBS dependent visa will no longer be valid and although there is unlikely to be an issue if they remain in the UK without switching, they may be refused re-entry if they travel outside of the UK.

Here are the rules to the changes which took place in April 2014.

But still you are not happy with that reference and that is why still searching for more authenticitygoogleit wrote:Also technically dependant visa is valid as long as he / she is in relationship with main applicant. And same statement was from home office response.
It doesn't say anywhere or even on BrP (condition of stay ) that it should be changed when main applicant get ILR etc
it is also true the mentioned reply was against a question when the main applicant switch from Tier-1 general to another tier-1 category. on that case depended already PBS dependent even if switch then still PBS dependent . the advise might change when main applicant switched to ILR-LRgoogleit wrote:See reply from home office
Dear Sir,
Thank you for your email correspondence of 14 March. I am sorry for the
delay in replying to your email.
There is no requirement for a PBS dependant to apply for leave at the same
time as the main applicant, providing that they continue to have valid
leave.
I hope this is helpful.
Yours faithfully,

My goodness. I honestly didn't interpret it this way. Still appears controversial as the OP was a PBS migrant when he gained ILR(though not on the 5 year route). So, he has effectively used his PBS leave as well right.vinny wrote:If the main PBS holder is granted ILR on the basis of Long residence, then the PBS holder did not gain ILR in their current route, i.e. as a PBS migrant.
