Hi Guys,
I am a British Citizen and had some questions around Tier 2 Dependant visa. I would be grateful if someone could answer these.
Background:
My wife arrived in UK on 1st April 2016 on Tier 2 Dependant Visa. She successfully applied for extension in August 2018.
Questions:
1. Is my understanding correct that she can apply for ILR after 5 years i.e March 2021 (28 days before 1 April)?
2. After obtaining the ILR can she then instantaneously apply for British Citizenship? or does she also have to wait for 1 year before applying? I have read that for Dependants they can apply instantly.
3. Are the absence requirement for her as:
A) No more than 180 days in any 12 month rolling period.
B) No more than 450 days over preceding 5 years for ILR application.
C) No more than 90 days over last 12 month before Citizenship application.
Thank you in advance for answering these.
