Does student dependant period count towards ILR for Global Talent Visa

[doc1232]

Hello.
Good day.
I have been on a dependant visa with my wife who was on student visa. I stayed on dependant visa for 1 year and got Global Talent visa after that.
In that case, will that 1 year count towards my ILR ?
Do I need to spend 2 years on Global Talent Visa and I can club it with 1 year that I spend on student dependant visa for ILR ?
Is there any link that provides information on this ?
Please suggest.
Thanks

If you are on your own Global Talent visa as the main applicant, you have to wait till you qualify under the specified routes that qualify for ILR after 3 years.

You cannot use time spent as a dependent visa holder to make up the time for ILR based on 3 years GTV.

Hello. Greetings
I understand that you can not switch from a student visa to a Global Talent Visa until the student's course is completed.
As a dependant of a student, while course of main applicant (student) is not yet complete, is it alright to switch from a student dependant to a Global Talent Visa ?

secondly, is an x-ray report needed for the visa application if the application is in the UK for last 9 months, just travelled outside UK for a week or so ?

Kindly suggest.
Thanks

Hello
Good day.

Can anyone please suggest me if the student dependant period count towards ILR for Global Talent Visa.

For example, if someone has been in the UK as dependant of a student for 1 year and then he/she gets the GTV. In that case, will the 1 year spent as dependant count towards ILR ?

Thanks

Hello.

Good day.

I forgot the password of my old profile and could not get a reset password link after multiple attempts. Hence, I had no other options to make a new account.

I asked this question because it is important for me to know more information on it, if possible. I read on some internet posts that time spent as dependant may be counted towards ILR.

So I wanted to confirm.

Thank you

If you hold a gtv main visa, you cannot use time you spent on a dependent visa to make up 3 years for ilr. You were already advised of this!!

A combination of certain visas can only be used for ilr based on 10 years long residence.

GT 11.3. excludes time spent as a dependant.
