Long residence & PBS dependent status

[Casa]

But still you are not happy with that reference and that is why still searching for more authenticity

Probably there will not be any better advise than what CR001 and Casa suggest. I have heard on similar case someone (dependent) had to wait few hours (last month) and they ask so many things why husband changed category but did not changed for her, are they still together !! However at the end entry guaranteed after they talk with Husband (PBS main applicant) over phone from airport.

Did you read this post?

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.

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.

The PBS holder did not gain ILR in their current route, i.e. as a PBS migrant, because 319E(b) fails.

(b) The applicant must be the spouse or civil partner, unmarried or same-sex partner of a person who:
(i) has indefinite leave to remain as a Relevant Points Based System Migrant; or
(ii) is, at the same time being granted indefinite leave to remain as a Relevant Points Based System Migrant, or
(iii) has become a British Citizen where prior to that they held indefinite leave to remain as a Relevant Points Based System Migrant.
