Since you plan to apply ILR on 10 years basis your wife will have to switch to spouse visa (not ILR, no LIUK required) and her clock will be reset means the previous stay won't be counted towards her qualifying period and she will have to spend 5 years from the day she gets spouse visa, but if you get your ILR on (Tier 2) 5 years route then she can extend as a PBS dependent (not spouse visa) and the time spent for your wife will be counted towards qualifying period and she will complete her 5 years in Nov 2021 and can apply for ILR.aravindrajagopal wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 10:12 amAlso... my wife has been on a dependent visa(tier 2) since November 2016. I initially thought her next application will be similar to her last dependant application. But it looks like she will have to apply as a dependent /partner of someone settled in the UK. Is this correct? Does this also mean that she will also have to pass the life in UK test?
This has caught me a little off guard. It looks like i was not as well prepared as I thought.
Looking forward to your replies.
She cannot apply for a PBS dependent visa if you apply for ilr based on long residence. The rules do not allow it. She has to switch to FLR m and it will reset her 5 year ilr clock to zero. She needs to meet the English requirements and the financial requirement of £18,600pa with a minimum of 6 months payslips and bank statements. The financial requirement is more if you have non British childrenaravindrajagopal wrote: ↑Sat Jun 06, 2020 10:12 amAlso... my wife has been on a dependent visa(tier 2) since November 2016.
