From Tier 2(General) to ILR Dependant

[joenayyar]

Hi,

I'm currently on Tier 2 General work visa and I want to switch to ILR dependent spouse visa. She got her ILR through Tier 1 General, 5-year route.

What are my options to do that I'm bit confused between PBS dependant and FLR(M) visa?

There is only one option - FLR(M) and you need to meet ALL the requirements.

PBS Dep would ONLY be possible if you were on a PBS dependent visa link to her Tier 1 G before she got ILR.

Thanks for the reply.

The following line on PBS makes me confused.

Your partner originally had a temporary visa as a worker
If your partner was in the UK on a temporary visa before settling or becoming a British citizen, you may have to apply as a ‘dependant’ (partner) in their original visa category.
Find out how to apply as a ‘dependant’ (partner or child under 18) if your partner or parent settled as someone with a:
Tier 1 (General) visa

PBS Dep would ONLY be possible if you were on a PBS dependent visa link to her Tier 1 G before she got ILR.

You have not been a dependent on her Tier 1 G, so what you have quoted is NOT relevant to you.
