LUCK?raghu_tallam wrote:Hi,
One of my friends is on WP. He got married in Dec-07. His wife entered UK around Jun-08. He and his wife got ILR in Feb-09.
I could not understand how his wife managed to get ILR, as she's married for just over a year and she's been in UK for less than 2 years.
Can someone explain how this happened?
This forum topic says, the 2 yr rule does not apply for WP dependents:

Whereas the below links say they are required to have stayed in UK for 2 yrs after marriage, unless married for 4 yrs:

How your dependants can apply for settlement wrote:Partners of highly skilled workers are eligible to apply for settlement at the same time as the highly skilled worker, provided they have lived with their partners in the United Kingdom for a minimum of two years before applying for settlement.
